Topic: RE: New here- Stafford, VA anyone?
Sorry, her OH name is tramsdale1. Here is what she said:

I run a support group in Warrenton, VA.  Warrenton is about 20 miles north(ish) from Culpeper.  I do have some Culpeper folks that attend our group.  We currently me twice a month.  The second Monday of the month we meet to exercise as a group.  The fourth Monday of the month we meet for a topic discussion and then exercise.  Our group, WBJC (Warrenton Bypass Journey Club) is a open group for pre-op, post-op and any surgery type.

Hello,

Actually, we are also moving up to the Culpeper, VA area next month and I am hoping, once settled, to start a support group there.  In the meantime, there is one in Warrenton that you may want to check out.  Read further down the messages on this board and you will see a post about support groups in Culpeper that I posted.  She responded to them.  Send me a private message with your contact information and I will let you know when the group is formed and you can choose to go to either or both.

We used to live in Fairfax.  Crazy busy place lol.

Topic: New here- Stafford, VA anyone?
I'm new to this board and am trying to find a group that meets at least once a month in the Stafford or Fredericksburg, VA area.
It's too far to drive up to Fairfax all the time. Does anyone know or belong to any support groups around here? Thanks

Topic: Wednesday Roll Call
Hi all,

Well today will have to be busy.  I loafed most of the afternoon yesterday and feel really guilty about that .  So, this is going to be short.  I need to change and get to the gym.  

I am hoping at our new home our landlord will let me work on his ranch.  That will be exercise lol.

Love you guys!!

Topic: Tuesday Roll Call
Hi all,

We found a place!  It is eight miles out of Culpeper, don't know which direction though. It is a two bedroom cottage on a horse farm.  It is exactly what I wanted.  I will see it this weekend! 

I am so excited!  I can't wait to get up there.  We will be moving sometime in June.  Gotta step up my packing!

Have several errands to run today and work out.  Have a great day all.

Our main goal is health, support and friendship towards each other as we walk the road out of obesity to the path of great psychological strength and physical health.

Topic for this meeting is: Goal Weight.

Topic: Good Monday Roll Call
Hi all,

Today is taking care of me.  Work out, wash hair, and I may do a recycle run.  I am going to donate again to the swap shop.  My husband has shirts he never wears and I get tired of transporting them.

Hey, anyone want to meet Saturday or Sunday night?  I will be up in the Fredericksburg/Culpeper area this weekend.

Topic: Sunday Roll Call
Hi all,

Today I am going to a different church.  It's a large cherismatic church near my old one.  A lady I met at Curves gave me an invitation. So I hope she shows up today.  I need a kick butt service to help me overcome some of my "issues". Oh, that's ok, if you don't get what I am saying.  

Anyway, after church, I am working at the vineyard, I think for the last time.  Next weekend I go up to VA to visit hubby.  We will be looking at places to live.

Have a great day all!

hello all,

I hope your Friday is a good one.  Today is workout and work.  Then go fetch my last pay check and say goodbye.

I am both happy and sad about the job.  I know there are other opportunities for me in the future.

Have a good day all.

Topic: Thursday Roll Call
Hi all,

Today is an open house at Curves.  I am going to go to the one near my house and sign up for my 30 days free.  With all the stresses, I seriously need to work out.  I hope you all know the value of exercise and how it can reduce stress.  If so and you haven't done anything about it, at least walk.

I am happy it is a nice day.  I like nice days.  Laundry and the usual stuff.  Take care all and have an awesome day.

Topic: RE: Anyone near Stafford, VA?
Hi there. I'm also looking for a support group. I had Lap Band in 2008, removed in 2010 and am in the early approval stages of the Bypass.
I believe a support group is crucial, however my previous Dr. and current Dr. are up in Reston and it's hard to get up there for meetings.

Topic: Wacky Wednesday Roll Call
Hello all,

Yesterday was by far the better day.  I went and worked out some and that felt good.  I am going to do the 30 days free at a Curves that is a lot closer to me.  That way I can work out every day.  I still don't know what is up with my job.  No hours this week, yikes! 

Tonight is my last wine tasting.  My business ends tonight. It's too bad that VA won't let Wines For Humanity in.  So, I am saying goodbye to it tonight.

I stopped packing.  I told hubby until he secures us a place up there, I'm not doing any more.  He needs to decide if he is going to spend three days up there and four down here or what.

I hope your day goes well!

Hello all,

WOW, yesterday was NOT a good day for me.  I don't know what is going on with my hubby.  He told our landlord a completely different story about our move and now I am totally confused.  So, we may or may not move even though he is already up there.

Today, I hope will be a much better day!

Topic: Saturday Roll Call
What a beautiful day!  Lots to do. I am hoping to get most of it done plus work.  Found out I have to decrease my hours.  Me dog just can't hold it for very long. 

I'm sorry all this is boring but there isn't a lot of excitement in packing boxes lol.

Hey you folks in the Culpeper area. What do you all do for fun?

Have a great day all!

Topic: TGIF Roll Call
Hi all,

Well I am realizing that my activity level has dropped drastically due to not having many work hours.  Now I have to find an activity other than packing boxes.  My dog and I went on the trail yesterday and I think we are going to start doing that everyday.  I don't want my weight to jump back up again.

Today I have my other job so I won't be doing a lot of packing.  What are you up to?

Hubby looked at a condo in Orange yesterday.  We have a problem with the rent and deposit.  We don't have it. SO, this may be a stumbling block in getting a place.
