Hi everyone!

The fashion show today was a great success and much fun! I'm glad so many of you were able to join us. We'll be meeting again next month and I would like to invite anyone that'd like to join us! Whether you are pre-band, newly banded or an old band pro. Everyone is welcome!

Where: Polaris Mall food Court

When: Saturday May 10, 2008

Time: 2 p.m.

Look for us near the entrance to the Great Indoors store. We will have a helium balloon marking our group.

All you have to bring is your smile... but if you want to you are welcome to bring outgrown clothes to share with those that might need/want them as well as a "before" picture to add to our group photo album.

I hope to see you there!!!!

Hey kids. I'm sorry I won't be at that meeting on the 10th. I'm going to be slogging along with 3000 other people riding my bike from Columbus to Portsmouth. Carol will be doing it with me next year, won't cha? Now mind you if it's raining cats and dogs, you all will see me, because I'm a fair weather cyclist.

I could swing something on the 11th, or anyone the 14th or 15th in the PM I could do. That's my spring break week! No school for me! YEAH!

Juli - you are a real testimony to the positive things one year later in losing weight has done if you are going to be able to do the Columbus to Portsmouth - TOSRV bike trip. That is heavy duty. Can't even imagine how many calories that will burn. Have a blast! and stay safe.

Awe shucks.

Yeah, the plan now is to only ride from Columbus to Portsmouth. I didn't have enough time to train to ride all 200 miles, up and back. But I'm pretty sure I can do 100 down. I'd never had guess this a year ago.

Only two more days! See you all on Saturday!!!

If I get downstaffed on Friday or if it looks like I might get downstaffed on Sat night, I will be there...otherwise, I will shoot for June!

SpecialK,

Are you going to bring the balloon again this month? Or should I stop and get one?

Thanks!

Niki, I hope you can make it! It seems like ages since I've seen you!!!

Looks like I'm gonna be heading to Lakeland Fl. in the morning, so I will have to shoot for next months gathering. Maybe I'll have a date by then!!

Hope you all have a great time.

Julie~Good luck with your ride!! You rock Girl!!:biggrin:

I am really going to try to get there...I looked at June, and I will be out of town on the 14th, so I REALLY need this meeting!

Thanks, Thinner! I'm pretty stoked for the ride.

Niki, let's get together regardless. We can have lunch or something. Which is really funny two LBTers together. REALLY, it's a riot, because NO one understands like a fellow bandster.

I can't make the meeting but I want to touch base with other people too.

We'll miss you too Juli! Have a safe ride and I hope you enjoy every minute of it!!!

ThinnerMe: If I may ask, what's in Lakeland? I have family there and have been thinking of taking a short trip!

Juli, Nikki, Heather: Still don't know if I can make it. If the gas keeps going up, I won't be able to drive my guzzlin' SUV at all! I may have to shoot for June too.

Thanks Heather!

Carol, I have family there too, but we are going for a church thing. I think its gonna be so much fun.....just not long enough. We are coming back Sunday morning :-(

I'll bring the balloon for our group get together and see you all Saturday. I can use the encouragement in person too..love the website encouragement but nothing better than seeing ya all live!

I will have a Mothers Day balloon for marking our meeting spot in front of Great Indoors in the Polaris Mall food court.

Thanks Kathy! See you in a few hours!
