  16. hi judy and friends, i live in kenmore and i currently walk at delaware park. and your right excersise is important. i'm joining the ymca on monday. they have a pool there and alot of excersise programs that interest me and most important it is close to my home. i have been trying to take small steps right now. i have stop eating after 12, and drinking pop, started walking at least 2x's a week. and trying to cut down on what im eating and how much. some days its great others its not. but, im gonna keep trying. so far i have lost 8lbs from the middle of may till now. think i would walk more if i had some one to walk with. also can anyone tell me about the support meetings i keep reading about?
  17. hi my name is china i have been roaming around here just reading i have did all the test except pyc. and the scope one turned in application about a month ago just to learn today that no one has it and i brought it in. was informed that there is not seminar for july next one isn't till aug. so can any one tell me if they have been invited to one for june. spoke with lisa and she said she was going to check into the date and see where my application could have gone. im hoping that it is just misplaced. im a little disappointed but i have to remember that all good things come to those who wait. i keep reading about support meetings and was wondering if there is any one that walks during the week in the evening time. if so can i join.
