I am from New Orleans, Louisiana. I'm sure you've heard of the place. The city Katrina tried to wipe off the map, and the place apparently George Bush forgot about following Katrina. Sorry, I digress. So Holl Ya'll:w00t:

Hey Ladies,

I'm not from the south but I'm definitely representing the midwest KCMO (Kansas City, MO). The elders in my family were from Texas and a large part of my distant relatives are still down in Texas. I do consider myself an honorary Texan. I'm sorry how can you not have some of that southern vibe rub off on you when you were raised and surrounded by family that were born and raised in Texas. I also went to school in Texas for a while.

I know one thing this midwest girl loves her some grits with plenty of butter and sugar and a side of scramble eggs with green onions chopped up in there and throw some cheese on them eggs for good measure. Lawd Have Mercy Child! :whatchutalkingabout

Hello ladies :whatchutalkingabout

OMG!!!!

It is ssssssoooooo good to hear/see you again!!!! When I saw the rock--I had to scroll up to look at see "Nina"...I am so glad to see you back!!! How has the weight loss gone for you? Please let us know...You were such an encouragement to me when I first got the band!!!1

[aloudwhisper 176]

Well I am from Alabama, but I live in Maryland. We are officially the beginning and the end of the south, since we straddle the mason dixie line. So (as I butt my way through) I hope ya don't mind a sista joining in with my southern folks. I know what grits are and I love them! I recently ran out, cause I like my Jimmy Dandy grits, but they are made differently in MD, so I have to wait until I visit Mom's to get the kind I like.

I just wanted to say Hello! to all the sista. I am loving this women of color group. I can't say that I was getting bored with the other forums, but I was needing to hear from my sistas. Sometimes our experience is far different, and you need someone that looks like you to connect with.

I look forward to the many chats with you all.

(((Hey Big"not-so-big"Baby!!)))

How are you?! I am great! I have seen your pic and you look FA-BU-LOUS!!! I am glad to see that you are doing so well.

This journey has been great, I would not change a thing - the good and not so good. The weightloss has only been on part of it. I am still not at my goal weight (i try not to focus on weight so much but how I look) but I feel great. I'd like to lose about 20 more lbs. I lift heavy so I am sure that's why the scale doesn't move much.
