got an email about local groups...I remember trying to see if this was was active...the person who started it does not seem to have done much and they can't give those right to someone else. Then someone tried to get something going on the regular forums from that group I got invited to join a group that goes to bunch of different support meetings sponsored by all the different hospitals...but through that I was invited to join a DFW facebook page that is private so only group members see those posts. As it turns out for me, I don't get to go to as many meetings as I would like....due to time. I've made exercise a priority and with working and spending time with hubby and family...it just hasn't happened. http://kimwls.blogspot.com/ here is my blog...as I started exercising more my posts started slacking, so my goal this year is to be a better blogger. Followers and comments might help there. I also have a pinterest board called my new healthy that has lots of good stuff. http://www.pinterest.com/kimberlybacon/my-new-healthy/

I could do Irving... Did the survey ... Said Monday... But Tuesdays are good too, thanks for getting this going.

I like the idea of breaking it down to areas, I live on the border of The Colony ,Frisco.... Where all the the construction is going on for that enormous furniture store.

I don't know it mine is quality....I'm still pre op but you are welcome to check it out. http://kimwls.blogspot.com/ I checked yours out...did not see where to follow, so I book marked it. I enjoy reading blogs too. there is a link on the side to one I just started following called the RNY life....it looks pretty good.

I tried to add as KSHEPA...but I need to have your email address...or you need to be on my contact list or facebook friends. my email is kimquilts55@yahoo.com if you want to add me. My surgery is next week....so I will we a few weeks before I start really getting active.

And we have a winner...@1Day1Life4Now...you got it...I am a teacher.

@@1Day1Life4Now I am not a gov. contractor....but I retired from the Air Force in 1996...nearing the end of my 2nd career now...(about 3 years out if I figured it right)... hint:I do like kids LilMissDiva Irene...see above...not a contractor 1Day...someone said artist I believe....I'm going to say you like crafty things as a hobby....but your job is something like HR?

and now I'm curious about Sharpie too....someone guessed construction worker.....I'm going to go along those lines and say contractor?

Fun idea for a game.....my avatar picture has absolutely nothing to do with what I do for a living...good luck! :0 so Woo woo said she's a Petroleum Landman....don't need to guess that....right? and LilBoo007 is still open.....some sort of administration?

I can't remember who was having surgery today.....have we heard anything?....how are they doing?

I use a fitbit....and find it very motivating.....I'm not one who loves to exercise so any help in motivation is good.

if you use Bariatric Advantage....they have an app that sounds something like compliant....I'm going to start on it right before I start the pre-op.

@ loveskinnyme, thanks for posting about the quit smoking app....I quit April 8 last year.......so according to the app I've saved $1676.04....now that is motivating. I start liquids June 10...I'm guessing I'm going to get the headache about 3 days in, since I have every other time I've gone no carbs....it's encouraging to know it gets better and it's doable. I sort of feel like my life depends on me doing what I'm suppose to....now if that doesn't motivate...nothing will.

Intragram is a cool idea...I will look for you. I'm 19 days out. I saw something cool on some nerdy science show, where a guy who had surgery....can't remember if they said which of the procedures, but he took a selfie in the same spot everyday for a year, then put it into a video, like a time lapse video.....it was pretty remarkable to watch the transformation.
