I’ve decided to bite the bullet and use a personal trainer for the first time. Does anyone have a good one to recommend? Any advice on picking one?

September Weight Loss Support Group Meeting—The Contest Finale!

2009-08-28T12:04:31Z

The Overland Park Support Group has already lost more than 200 lbs during the Summer Get-A-Weigh Challenge, and it’s time to see if we can break 300 and declare a winner!

We’re going to celebrate our success with a bit of a party and talk about what worked best for each of us, and once all the weigh-in results are compiled, we’ll announce the winner of the well-deserved spa weekend getaway!

Even if you haven’t been participating in the challenge, feel free to join us and learn from people who have lost dozens of pounds individually over the past couple of months.

As always, it’s the third Saturday (September 19) at 11 a.m. at the Weight Loss Surgery Center lobby, inside the Citizens Bank building at 8101 W 135th St. in Overland Park.

See you there!

Ladies Sizes 26 through 34s (2x-4x’s)

2009-08-31T12:23:55Z

For the ladies who might be in transition and in need of clothing (or you have friends who are just starting out who might need some clothing), I am going to have a garage sale. My garage sale will be Friday, September 11 and Saturday, September 12. I have TONS of work clothes, casual, trendy. Dresses, suits, jeans, tshirts, jog outfits, skirts, shirts, shorts, crops, etc. When I say I had a lot of clothes, I can’t describe it all I can say is I had a his & hers closet full of clothes.

I have new clothes never worn, some only worn once, and others worn a couple of times. I have 2x-4x’s, 34, 32, 30, 28, 26’s and a few other smaller sizes.

My address is 17545 W 159th Ct, Olathe, KS.

I know we had the consultant last Bander’s meeting talk about consignment and rest assured a lot of my items could go there but going to try to sell them to buy some new winter clothes.

Good restaurants in KC area for banded dining

2009-06-03T11:11:27Z

Pat had asked on one of the blog posts if there was a list of local restaurants that are especially good for people with gastric bands.

I am not aware of a list, but I think we could probably brainstorm one here, and maybe it could become a resource for the clinic.

If you have a band, is there a restaurant that regularly understands your situation or treats you well when you make special requests to accomodate your band?

Is there a place around here that has a tasty meal that fits healthy guidelines for your band? Perhaps a place that has small portion options?

Give us your thoughts!

weight lifting

2009-08-25T09:24:54Z

Adam,

Just an idea for a support group meeting. Can you get a body builder to come and talk just how one can work on a group of muscles that we have the most problems with ie. under arms, stomach, neck, and the male breast. Also how can it be done say on break at work, at lunch, in the car, or say at my desk. Do you lift 100lbs 5 times or do you lift 10lbs 50 times. Just a thought. Pat Hewitt
