Hello all! It is NEVER too late to join a round of the mini-challenge! We have preop folks and postop folks, RNY/DS/Bandsters/etc, 3+ years postop AND fresh from surgery. You can join right up till the very last day of a challenge if you like! We ask that you post once a week to the roll call post with your current weight and participate in whatever discussion we have going on when you can. We have daily posts here in the Health Forum that are intended to help us get to know each other AND keep us involved in the challenges. These posts are ALL located in the Health Forum (where you found THIS post). We suggest that you bookmark the Health Forum so that you can find it more easily when it is time to post. To join the current mini-challenge round, simply respond to the CURRENT WEEK'S ROLL CALL (go to http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/health/posts.html and look near the top of the list of posts for the most recent roll call post) with your high/preop/start weight surgery date if you are a postop current weight goal weight you'd like to reach by the end of the challenge round We'll get you added right away and you can report in the following Monday with everyone else! We also have a YahooGroup for everyday discussion, sharing of recipes, and more. Anything you post to the YahooGroup is sent to everyone who joins that group. They can then respond to the group as well. To join that group, send a blank email to [email protected] and watch for a confirmation email.
