i'd love to hear from other friendly folks. everyone is so nice here!!!

do you find issues related to your glbt-hood and the forum or reaction from friends???

so happy to be here!!!!!! xoxoxoxo Ann

Hello from NH! Week 5 for me and I lost 4 pounds this week! Amazing since I have only lost 8 pounds the prior weeks. Just noticed there was a Gay support group on here. Hello to all! Congrats to Beach who just made it through surgery. And greetings to the rest of my "family". Anyone from NH or Atlanta? I used to live there and miss it a lot. Have a good week all!

Hi Janet. Congratz in your surgery and your progress. Sounds like you're moving right along. : )

Hmm..all these wonderful gl families and probably having str8 kids too. Smh...lol jk jk

I have a 12yr old son too. He thinks its cool having a lesbian mom. He says he can "girl watch and get advice"

Glad we have this forum and nice to have the str8 allies as well. When it comes down to it, we're all the same. Someday the rest of the country will figure it out.

amen!!

Thanks! Now if other things could just move along. This constipation is killing me! I never had this problem before but I can sure understand now what all the fuss was about when I would hear people complain! :0

Im preop..but everyone here talks abour the infamous 3 week stall. Just keep doing the right things and dont get frustrated. From what Ive read, ppl still lose inches even when the scale stays the same.

Completely normal. Just keep doing what you're doing, and one day you'll weigh yourself and be shocked at the lost weight.

As much as we all like to talk this sure is a quiet forum!!!

Johnathan, you should get things stirred up! Tell us a story. LOL
