How sad is this?

I got a brochure in the mail for a university hospital-run rural county weight loss program (I live in a very rural, poor county which is the perfect environment to become morbidly obese. We are one of the fattest counties in the State) . It's free, offers weekly meetings and nutritional counseling. I was so excited. We've needed something like this for a long time! Then they had a chart inside for the minimum and maximum weights by height in order to be eligible to participate. The minimum weight for my height was 191 and I'm 162. I was actually sad because I wanted to go to the weekly meetings. My two coworkers are signing up. I keep forgetting I have very little left to lose. I'm still in "weight loss mode" too so I'm in the mindset of focus on eating and exercising to reach goal.

See if you can go anyway. I bet you have a lot you can share as well as learn.

I started taking a nutrition class through our county extension office. It has been interesting. I have learned a lot, been reminded about a lot, but also have been able to share my experience with several people. Just introducing folks to MyFitnessPal was much appreciated.
