Barb,

I have not been on the board for a long time.  So far I have lost 150 lbs.  Your century club card caught my eye.  How did you get that?

Also, I am considering starting a support group in the Brentwood/Oakley area as there is only one out there and it is on Wednesday nights which I cannot attend.

Do you know anyone that might be interested?

I have tons of clothes but was considering selling them on ebay or craigslist.  How does your clothes exchange work?  I might be interested.

Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.

Beau

Beau,

Congratulations on your 150lbs lost.  Katt M. who posts on our Cali board was wonderfullly helpful and got it for me.  She began a post a couple of threads down, so you can PM her and she can tell you where she gets them.

With regard to the Brentwood/Oakley area, Cathy C has a support squad meeting that she post about on OH out in Brentwood.  I think her screen name is also Cathy C.  Generally she tries to do her meetings on Sat.

With regard to our clothing exchange, we bring our clothes and put them out for anyone who might want them, there is no charge because we don't want to make money off them, we just want to help one another.

You are welcome to attend the luncheon and bring your clothes if you want to, the more the merrier.

Barb

Hey Barb..just a quick update on Cathy C's group.  A couple of weeks ago she sent emails that she was considering moving her meetings to Wednesday nites (which is probably where Beau got the day) and also may go to on-line meetings once a week.  She was getting feed-back that Saturdays were just to crowded for people in her area.

PS See ya in 2 weeks!

oh i may be able to go!

Cindy,

We'd love to have you and hope you can come join us!

Barb

Hi Barb! 

Please add me and Laurie to the list.  We're looking forward to the Luncheon! 

Also.. is it okay to bring gently worn bras and shapewear to the clothing exchange?  I am going through support underthings very quickly and its a shame to not pass these things along when they are so expensive.  Is it okay to bring them? Thanks! 

Can't wait to see everyone on the 23rd! 

Love & Hugs,

Rachel,

So glad you and Laurie will be able to come!  I don't mind if you bring gently worn bras and shapewear,  Can't wait to see you.

Hugs,
Barb
