I see from the map that we're in the same area - had my sleeve done April 17 and live in Canoe, just outside of Salmon Arm. Would you like to keep in touch and support each other through this a bit? deb :-)

Hi Denise! To post new things on the message boards, go to FORUMS, then TELL US ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY...at the bottom it says POST NEW THREAD...that will get you to the message board! I am still trying to figure out how to get a photo album going, its impossible! xo Carolyn

Good luck today!

Wishing you the best this week!

Hi Denise, I just found your letter here, I wrote you just an hour or so ago! I hope we can be a help to each other and finally succeed in keeping our weight off. I intend to eat clean, good, nutritious food to give my body the protein and energy it needs, and to exercise at least 3x a week. 20 years ago (age 29) I weighed 150 after doing Jenny Craig. I think Jenny Craig is a horrible program. I looked amazing at 150 lbs, but they kept telling me my "ideal" weight was 128. I just felt like a failure and of course gained my 30 lbs back plus another 5. I have yoyo'ed myself up to 260 ever since. Last year I lost 25 lbs but failed to keep it off because I like to eat too much. I am hoping being "forced" to not eat will be a good thing, because I don't have the will power to just diet. Can't wait to meet you in 11 days!!!
