Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Shauna, LOL I do feel like running sometimes!!!!! Sending your family pix is a great idea. What I have done is started a picture trail. I have an album with my weight loss journey, an album with my kids and an album with a family vacation we took. My family and friends have access to it. I'll send you the link. I got the idea from Robyn the woman who started this group. Were did you live in California? Is your family still there? You are in Flordia now???? Do you like it? What made you move there? HUGS!!! > > > > > > That is one issue I am a little concerned about, everyone elses > >reaction.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 I lived in the dreadful Antelop Valley which is 1 hour from LA. I now live in Pennsylvania. Most of my family is there still. I love it here. I lived here for a short time before and waited to get back here for 10 years. Anything other than California is better for me hahahaha. > >Reply-To: GastricBypass-LOSERS >To: GastricBypass-LOSERS >Subject: Re: Realizing we do deserve more/ shauna >Date: Sun, 01 Jan 2006 18:37:48 -0000 > >Shauna, > >LOL I do feel like running sometimes!!!!!
