At our meeting yesterday I mentioned the "My Fitness Coach" program for the Wii and I just wanted to let you guys know that I see it's in Circuit City's ad for this week at $19.99. They say it's balance board compatible but I don't think it truly is. However, for $20 I think I may pick up a copy myself. Just thought I'd let you know :-)

Here's a link to the listing on Amazon if you want more info on the game. The reviews confirm that it is NOT balance board compatible.

Okay, this date for the next month's meeting is on Valentine's Day and being the eternally single one, I won't have a date for that day/evening most likely so I will probably be able to make this afternoon get together. Plan to wear something red or pink that day in the spirit of the holiday. That includes the guys!

Hi Heather -

Will probably be at next meeting. I know this is going to sound silly. But, I just registered with the site. I cannot fiqure out how to post and introduce myself for the first time.

Any suggestions?

Thanks so much.

Hi Lisa, nice to have you joining the group here.

Here is a link to the Ohio Introductions thread but you're welcome to just post a brief intro here on the Columbus thread too if that's where you're from.

I'm planning on being there tomorrow!

Sorry I missed our gathering but I've been working to get my Mom a new little puppy and it turned out that Valentines Day was the day she woke up and saw an ad in the paper, we went and checked him out, bought him, went to the pet store and dropped a chunk getting all the stuff he needed, and then had fun taking him to her home to get all settled in. It was a fun day. I think this will really fill a gap she has had from losing her husband back in August after virtually caring for him 24 hours a day due to his illness.

We missed you! The puppy is adorable... were you tempted to get one for yourself????

I hope everyone is feeling better now (Brenda, Heather, Jill)! And glad I didn't catch anything! See you all next month.

Sorry, I missed it. Just found this thread.

Welcome Bill. Nice to see new faces and user names joining us on the Ohio thread. I saw your signature says you were banded in December, were you self-pay or did you go to one of the Columbus hospital programs? Hope all is going well for you.

I went through the program at OSU after my wife had the RNY bypass there. We both have been pretty sucessful. I thought the program was great, losing almost 20 pounds before surgery. The only bad part was OSU broke two of my crowns during surgery. At first they were apologetic, then they went into denial mode.
