Topic: Monday Morning Weigh-in--a wake-up call for me!
Good morning!

For me it was not-so-good.  I have been eating too much and too poorly for the last week, and it really showed on the scale!  What a wake-up call--time to get the scale moving back the other way by getting back to the rules. 

Starting weight:  298.4
Last week:  137.3
This week: 140.9
This week:  GAIN of 3.6 lbs

It is absolutely my own fault, and so I'm taking ownership.  This morning I went out and ran 5 miles (which was in my training plan for today, so it wasn't a direct reaction to the scale).  But I need to get a handle on the carbs, I think.  They are creeping back into my diet and taking hold.

Hey MNBEAR!!
I am from Park Rapids and Dr. Smith did my VSG in April. He is a wonderful Doc. Actually he had also removed my gallbladder several years ago and just did surgery on my Hubby a couple weeks ago. He is very quiet, but one heck of a surgeon!!
Good luck on your RNY. I am sure everything will go great for you.

I would love love love to get in on a swap meet! I'm pretty sure I have some things to share! I'm in desperate need of Winter clothes! I'm freezing all the time! LOL! I'm taking a size 10 in most everything now, medium shirts, and depending on the item, sometimes a 12 in jeans. I have some 16's and large and extra large tops as well, to share.

Let me know!

Hey Jen - long time, no see!

I think the last actual 'Swapkins' was at Edi and Linda's house over a year ago.  PNC hosted a clothing swap at one of the June support group meetings, but I think it would be nice to see something metro-wide again.  I've just become too dang busy to do it myself

Hey Cheri -

I think if you called Dorothy, she might be able to fax or mail you some stuff to share with your MD in Paynesville - once a PNC patient, always a PNC patient!

Good to see you post, don't be a stranger!

OK, Swapkins was a chance for everyone to bring all the clothes that no longer fit, and pick up clothes that do. No money changes hands. The goal was to have this once every 3 months or so. Anything left over would go to charity.
Only clean clothes in good condition are welcome.

I can set up something in October if people are interested.
If you're interested, please reply to this post so I know how many folks there are. If we get enough, I'll set it up in the Twin Cities.

I'm intrigued- Swakins?  Whatever it is, I like the idea of it!  I need new clothes!

Hello Darlings! Long time no post on my part.

Does Swakins still exist? I've got loads of clothes to share and I could use some myself.
