I am also working towards getting certified by Obesity Help to become a support group leader in my hometown, wish me luck on that! We have one support group and I dont know how active they are but I am trying to get one closer to where I live, and hopefully get pre-ops as well as post-ops! I have two more sessions to complete before I am certified.

My support group will be for all WLS in US and in Mexico. :)Kelli360/305/250/155Virginia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Thanks Virginia!! I wish everyone the same success...it's not be easy believe me, I've peddled more on that darn stationary bike than I'd care to but it's helped and I've walked quite a bit to keep it going. > Today, I finally got my butt in to get weighed and here are the > results...I started out prior to surgery 360lbs, and today they figure > me at 305, which is 55lbs to date that I have lost.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Thanks Penny!!! I'm working my butt off literally!!! It's been a challenge but I'm doing the best I can. I'll update again in two weeks, I like to have my weight done at the clinic to get an accurate reading, and I told myself only every two weeks to weigh in so I can have a good surprise Thanks again...good luck to you and everyone on here. >> Yeaaaaaa, Kelli!!!!!> What motivation!

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Thanks ...you've been such an inspiration to me that alot of my choosing to do the band and strive hard to lose the weight is due to your success and the success of others here on this board. Everyone just uplifts me everytime I come on here. As for the support group, I'm a bit nervous cause I'll be dealing with people with RNY which is the majority and then to contend with biases on Mexico that will be interesting, however I wont be alone on this I have two gals that have had the RNY that can help me with those issues. Anywho, thanks for the well wishes and I am just so AMAZED at your weight loss...I mean goodness you're a totally different person...as in physical of course, but my gosh I am just so HAPPY for you...gosh, that is such an acheivement. I go to your sight quite often just to refocus myself into working out because I know the ultimate goal is to get down as close to my target weight as possible. Keep up the good work! >> Kelli, you are my idol. YOU GO GIRL!!
