I'm new to the group today. Things are going great. I've lost 35 lbs since July 28, 2005. I started at 261.5 and am down to 226.5

You are doing great!! Keep up the good work.

Hi! I am a new quilter....I hardly even count as one, but I am working on a couple of projects...my mom was an artist at it, and my grandmother is still quilting every day (she's 92!). I was banded a week before you, and have lost 36 total, but I started by ticker at the weight I was on surgery consultation.

You are doing great!!! Thanks for the introduction, Cindy

I love quilting although I haven't been able to do it for a while because I've been renovating my new home, along with recovering from surgery.

My weight was 261.5 on the morning of surgery and now it's 226.5. I hope to get down to around 160. I don't ever expect to be skinny.

Good luck with your weight loss.

Hi Quilter Mom, I wish you would have introduced yourself sooner. I just sent a huge box of quilting scraps to a Katrina donation center with the suggestion for someone crafty to start a Katrina Love Quilt. I sure hope the stuff gets used, cause I would have loved to send it to a fellow bandster.

Congrads on your skinny self! Nice to meet you.

Welcome QuilterMom...alot of support and love on this forum. :-)

Welcome and congrats on a super job of losing weight so far. Let the momentum help carry you through the holidays and just imagine ringing in the New Year's below 200!!!!! Wouldn't that be wonderful!

I think you will love it here, awesome, supportive and smart people here. Great advice and everyone is friendly.

See you around the boards!

Cindy

Hi, great to see another quilter - your doing fantastic. What kind of quilts do you do? I have to admit I am a machine quilter - love to do log cabins and strip quilts. See ya around.

Welcome aboard, Quilter Mom.....I, too, am a quilter....I kind of live and breath quilting!!!

Oh gosh..... I have always wanted to tackle quilting! Just never got around to it! I really admire all of you! Welcome! It was nice to meet you!
