That sounds like fun! I wish my support group did something like this. They aren't into much. They had a clothes exchange (I couldn't go) and one person brought clothes.

Enjoy the gym and win the gift card.

Great start, it isn't just about losing fat, it is about getting healthy and exercise it a really big part of that.

I am really fortunate. My doctor had the band himself so he is huge on the support group aspect. Every month our nutritionist posts a monthly challenge. This is the first one I have been able to do since I am still recovering in my first 6 weeks post op. I am excited to do it. The group also gets together at least once or twice a month on Saturdays and walks through some of the parks and I think hikes the mountains around here. I wonder if there are any other groups in your area? I definitely think having people hold me accountable and help talk me through hard times is really working wonders with me. Before I wouldn't go to the gym because well, I am fat and who wants to watch that jiggle? But now I really don't care who sees me. It is like my whole attitude has changed. I am dancing around being silly with my kids and wanting to go make my fat jiggle so it can jiggle its way on out of here. I made it through the first day of the challenge. I did 15 minutes eliptical, 20 on bike, and 10 on treadmill. Got the crazy pic to show it. Uggh.. here's to the end of March! =)
