I wanna go, I wanna go.....

Stocky thank you again..... you are the bomb.

Thank you Karen for putting together our monthly meetings. This meeting in particular was awesome. We had lots of time to spend together, very informative on finding out what Protein drinks and bars we like. I think South Beach was the winner.

The food was great without the wait, the bartenders did a great job....Stocky and LSasha.

Thanks you guys for being patient with me, I am not a professional measurement takerer. If there is something else you want to measure, feel free to give me numbers and of what and I will jot them down.

It was great meeting Phyllis and Naiomi (sp). Everyone brings something great to the table. LSasha and Kee you guys have been doing great with your eating and it shows. Kee you are not going to need surgery at the rate you are losing. LOL :omg:

Barbara and Leona it was great seeing you guys and thank you Leona for blowing us away with your AWESOME voice. "Thank You":eek:

Congratulations Connie you are looking and good with your new band, your scars are lovely.

Thanks guys for taking the pictures. It is going to be so important for us to document our weight loss for encouragement. There is nothing like seeing where you came from.

LESSON LEARNED: South Beach Bars are great:hungry:

High, lean protein and veggie meals and Meal Replacement bars and shakes is key to losing consistantly.

Drinking Water and no calorie drinks is best.:spit:

We have a great MD support group:grouphug:

GOALS: Can you guys please put your goals here so we can continue to encourge each other.

I feel so left out you guys.:think I really wish I could see you guys in person, talk to you, come to meetings as well, but they're so far away, I don't live as close to DC as you guys do. So maybe someone can help me start a Balt/Metro area group meeting, to coninside(sp.) with your meeting for those who can't make it down there and need something closer. Any takers?

Marcelle

Marcelle, Not all the meeting have been in Bowie. We sometime meeting

Annapolis and in Handover near I695. I am willing to have a meeting at me house in Severn. Maybe you can come to that meeting. Or if you know of a place around where you live you can make a suggest to the group to meet there. Hope this helps and We are looking forward to meeting with you too.

:biggrin1:

Hanover is cool, actually anything near 695 is good. I'm not sure where we can have a meeting with it not costing anything, like a free room or something other than someone's house. But let me know when you plan on having that meeting at your home and I'll be there
