Ohhhh bummer! Those are the worst support groups to try to "get into" attending. The one through my surgeons office, I was not at all impressed with either. It was after attending that one, that I decided I would go get training to be a support group leader myself. I paid big bucks to go to georgia to get training, then again went through OH training. I am hoping to be engaging, and offer great content and interaction with my live group. I plan to get it going in early to mid (probably mid) October.

How may meetings do they require? You may also see if different meeting dates may have diffeent leaders. If so, that can make a big difference!
Have a great night!

no there is only one leader , i hate to say it, she has regained about 100 lbs.  it is not very inspiring. i guess this makes me a rotten person, but i don't think she should be leading a support group that supposedly will help you learn how to lose weight and maintain.  there was only 5 of us today, including her. she is nice, don't get me wrong, but i want someone to inspire me, i need all the help i can get. lol  vick

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes! Oh man doesn't that feel great! Congratulations! Another awesome Non Scale Victory!!!! I am soooo happy for you!
Good luck with getting a group together! It would be a wonderful thing for you and anyone who is interested. Suggestion... next time you are at your support group meeting, try to make some connections there with other attendee's. They are probably feeling a lot like you are!
