Welcome to the Georgia Group and congratulations on starting your new Adventure. 55lbs is a great start. I work in Marietta but I live and attend my support groups in the Duluth area, so i can't be of much help in recommending a Marietta Support Group. Keep us posted of your successes.
Starting weight & height: 265/5' 8.5; Goal weight: 160; Current weight: 155
Riding the motorcycle is a wow in itself, since I was way too heavy pre-op to ride behind someone. I probably wouldn't have been able to get up on it even if it did hold our combined weight.
So, we are stuck at a traffic light, nd the sensor would not change it from red to green because the weight of the bike was not heavy enough.
A guy pulls behind us in his pickup truck and we wave him around. We explained to him the bike was too lightweight and urged him to drive around us to make the light change.
He grinned and winked at Robert and in the most sincere redneck twang said "not having too much weight riding behind you is a good thing, she's hot! " He then pointed at me and drove around.
I was so tickled I almost fell off the bike. I didn't know whether to shout, cry tears of joy, or laugh. I think I did all of the above at the same time.
Thank God for my DS and for making me a certified biker babe!
vroom vroom!

OH sisters Maria and Rolanda have expressed an interest. I am terrified of heights, but I'm willing to test this new body to the limits.
I figure if I plummet to the ground, there will be less of me to make a gooey messy splat now that I'm 175 lbs lighter.
But, then again, that fat may have been a good cushion?
Seriously though, the zip-line has a weight limit of 225 or so. If you are over the limit you can be our cheerleaders and photographers :-)
There are several places to try it. Maria mentioned discounts on Groupon or halfoffdepot.
I haven't looked into all the details. Right now I'm just putting it out there to see who all would like to participate.

OK< we tried tubing, now it's time to check out some real rapids!
A friend of mine is planning a whitewater rafting trip in Cleveland TN next month. I just wanted to extend an invite to anyone who would like to join us.
Cost is around $30.
We are doing a picnic lunch afterwards.

I am SO excited to be able to do this kind of stuff. I always wanted to do active stuff pre wls, but just sat on the sidelines and watched the world go by.
Skinny sure does feel good!
B****he tubing meet n greet in Helen was awesome! I highly recommend it for a staycation activity with the family. It was $5 well spent.
