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 [...]
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 want to take the opportunity here to rant about some trends I am noticing with individuals and their expectations of post-weight loss surgery life. I may offend some people but they can just suck it up and get over themselves. Weight loss surgery is not magic. It will not magically fix all the things [...]
Better a little late than never! I took my 3 month progress pictures last night. I am down 90 pounds so far! I feel amazing! I also started going to the gym last week. On my first day I did an hour of Zumba and an hour of pilates- I don’t know what I was [...]
