For anyone that's interested, there's a new group meeting in Arlington. Here's the details:

The meeting is a go!

We will be meeting on Thursday, January 31 (last Thursday of the month) at 6:30pm. At Mochalux Coffee & Tea Co. 1101 E. Bardin Rd, suite 101, Arlington, TX 76018. It is off Interstate 20 and S. Collins in a strip behind Chicken Express.

They charge a fee of $25/hour to let us meet and to reserve seats, but that fee is waived if we purchase $30 worth of drinks/products. Hopefully you won't mind chipping in towards that amount in case we don't purchase enough.

I'm thinking this first meeting will be more of a meet and greet and we can discuss what kinds of things we are hoping to accomplish in our meetings. Also, it shouldn't last longer than an hour.

Hope to see you there!!!

Hi, is there anyone out there who lives in or near Venus? I am a low BMI bandster and am getting down and very discouraged. I am sure I am not doing what I need to be doing. I need help. I need a buddy to push me in the right direction.

Thank you,

Deborah

We will be getting today this next Wednesday, at 6:30, again in south Arlington. Everyone is welcome.
