Ok, Im back, I just cant seem to get into this and I really need to cause I have no support. I guess it is just hard for me to go and meet new people, kinda puts me out of my comfort zone. I have lost a good amount my first year but would have liked to lost more. I just found out that I am pregnant, so my band will have to be totally loosend but I need to continue to eat healthy, which I have kinda fallen out of doing. I know that there are a few of you that live in the lakewood-tacoma area, so I would like to start to get to know some of you and go to support groups. This is really hard for me but I know I really need it.

[Carol-WA 1]

Hi Nance! I was also banded by Dr. Michaelson @ NWWLS (about a month before you), and I actually had an appointment on 5/15 to get an adjustment. Wonder if I saw ya there?

Looking at your ticker, it seems like you're doing well. Keep up the excellent work, and perhaps I'll see you at one of the support groups!

[Carol-WA 1]

Punkytres...

CONGRATS on the baby! That's so exciting. Just think of all the good things you've learned and all the progress you've made. Now you've got to concentrate on good healthy eating habits. Let that beautiful baby be your motivation, eating healthy for you means eating healthy for your baby. You're going to do great!

By the way I'm in UP, right on the edge of Lakewood. I go to support group at St Joe's on the 3rd Monday of the month. I also get together with a friend who was banded at the same time, we walk on MWF, at the Tacoma Mall is it's cold/rainy or down at Chambers Bay when it's nice. You should join us some time. I don't think I could make it without others to listen to my victories and my gripes...I'm just not that independant...I need the support.

Sue, are you walking tomorrow??? I have the day off. If so let me know please

[sue11 0]

YES! We will be walking in the AM. The forcast says rain in the AM, so we will probably be at the Tacoma Mall. We meet at about 7:45 by Starbucks (we park by Jamba Juice). If it ends up being nice we really like to be outside at Chambers Bay. We get there about 7:55. I'll send you a PM with my cell...give me a call in teh AM and we'll make sure we're heading to the same place and don't miss eachother. Wear your walking shoes, we go about 2 - 2.5 miles, not super fast, but at a good clip.

See you there!

Sue
