Would anyone like to formalize this and maybe meet for coffee? I live in Arlington and work in downtown Dallas. From the forums there looks like there was a DFW group but no one has answered my request of whether or not it was still active. Any thoughts or comments??

If we could get alot of people together it would be pretty neat. If you know a way I'm in.

Hi everyone,

I'm sorry I have been extremely busy with work and the holidays. I guess Irving is considered North Dallas area :) I work in downtown Dallas for the moment though. I would be intrested getting together with people for coffee or something on a weekend. I finally have found a dr here in the area and will be getting a fill, I haven't had one in a year and a half. I really need to get back on track. I kind of lost myself over this move and I'm trying desperatly to find myself.

Question for you ladies..

How do you guys cope with the heat and exercising? In CA I was an avid walker and would walk about 8 miles a day. I am training for the 60 mile breast cancer walk in November (I'm doing it in San Diego) and wonder how I am going to cope with the icky weather over the summer. Any suggestions?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
