I have been so productive lately with setting up the support group! I have secured a meeting place for twice monthly in-person meetings at a fabulous location with lots of room and a complete AV setup! I have purchased the domain and set up the website, created an ObesityHelp.com groups, and made a Facebook page [...]
Since the local library was closed yesterday for the holiday I called today about using their meeting room to hold a weight loss support group meeting. The guy who answered the phone said just to come in and fill out an application. So I headed over there before going to the gym this afternoon for [...]
Tonight I took a friend of mine who is interested in weight loss surgery to the info meeting for the WLS program I went through. I remember when I went in May 2009 to this same meeting to start my journey and how scared and nervous I was. I went by myself and didn’t know [...]
So I am diving in head first and have started the process to start a weight loss support group! I applied on ObesityHelp.com to become a certified OH support group leader.

I had a great meeting with the nutritionist and I think she was prepared for me to come yesterday because she mentioned she had heard I was unhappy [...]
There has been some turmoil building with my weight loss surgery programs support groups. I know I have complained about it before but I tried to be a good little sheep and just go along with the flock and not be a problem but I just don’t want to do that anymore. I think this [...]
The other day I thought I could see the heat coming from the toaster while making some Bagel Thins (I should post a review on them!) and it was making the area around the toaster blurry. That or I suddenly had some weird kind of thermal vision super power. I made my bagel and it [...]
I am stuck in bed for most of today because I am not feeling very well. At least that means I can catch up on my blogs! If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter (which you should- you know you want to see what I am doing at every time of day) then you [...]
