kdlee - lol I probably should have mentioned it. I forgot I have a different pic on my myspace. :cool2:

The classes are beside Nohe Office Supply in Parkersburg at the Tai kwan do (spelling?) place. Its at 7pm. There are no men there....its all women. So you dont feel embarressed or anything. The women that are there dont make you feel bad at all.....the skinniest lady there is a lot older....probably 60's. The rest are heavier trying to lose weight. So I didnt feel bad at all.

It would be great if you were there! I will definetly be there on Monday! I love it! Im wore out when I leave...but its great! The teacher is really great too!

Parking is in Nohe Office's parking. (I had no idea when I first went.) lol I parked across the street.

Froggi- You're welcome for the powder. I hope you will be able to use it. Thanks for the compliments. :cool2: You'll be in bandland before you know it!

Thank you again...I can't wait until I start preop!!! Tomorrow is my last day of 6 month diet yay. I've been exercising extra hard hoping to break my little plateau I've hit. Hope I am doing into the 380's...I'd be so happy.

Elizabeth- Jeannie had talked about a clothing swap at the group meetings. I could bring some things to the next one if you're going to be there.

I'm happy Jeannie mentioned my idea at the meetings. Good to know she thinks it's a good idea and I think it would be very helpful for us all. It's not easy to buy new clothes every couple weeks with how expensive things are nowadays. Hand-me-downs are perfect.

I got the idea from the clothing xchange group on here. People had been sending me clothes through the mail and I thought it would be much easier to get clothes from people around here going through the same things as us:thumbup::cool2: Glad you like it.

Sweet! I cant wait until I need smaller clothes. I just had my consultation with Jeannie today. She is wonderful!

Ok I gotta brag. Even though I am not seeing a difference in the scale, my clothes are getting baggy. I put a pair of jeans on today that I havent had on since last winter, and you know when you put a pair of jeans on right out of the dryer you have to stretch them and do squats and stuff. Well at least I did, I didnt have to do that with these jeans, I just put them on and they are actually a little baggy WHOO HOO.. Its weird that Im not dropping the pounds, but my clothes are getting baggy. Maybe it is all in my head or something I dunno, but I think my clothes are getting big. Just wish the scales would show it.

Froggi- Good luck! I'm having a hard time exercising. I've never been consistent at it. It's not that I don't like it. I guess that I just don't take the time to make it part of my routine.

WVU-Fan- I will be there on Monday! It sounds like a lot of fun! I'm looking forward to it!!!

[WVU-FAN 0]

Elizabethdb - Congrats!!! You are losing inches! If you are exercising you may be building muscle...which weighs more than fat and is more compact. Great Job! It will eventually show on the scales! :w00t:

Kdlee- GREAT!! I'll see you there! Its a lot of fun! And great motivation....im one of those that will "rest" during an exercise tape. lol But if im around a bunch of people...I'll nearly kill myself trying to keep up so I dont look stupid. lol

That's great! Even though I've only lost 17 lbs since surgery, I've lost a lot of sizes. It's weird how it works!

WVU-Fan - I drove by the tae kwon do place a little bit ago. I was on my way to get the oil changed in my car and went right past there. It was easy to find. Monday will be fun. :w00t:

[WVU-FAN 0]

Great! I will see you Monday! :tongue:

I really like it! I also like that there are no men there watching you.....I get a little intimidated at the Y.

Good morning, everyone! I wasn't sure if you all read the thread NascarFan posted in. Here it is. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f266/wish-you-luck-67871/ . She isn't doing so great. She's having lots of nausea. :tongue2:

Elizabeth- I'm going to bring some clothes with me to the next support group meeting. Some size 22 and 24 pants. If they'll fit you, you can have them!

[Elizabethdb 0]

Thanks, I will try to be there. Its open to everyone right? Jeanie doesnt have to tell us which ones to come to does she?? When is the next meeting?
