Obviously (from past posts), I already knew Jen, and it was great to see her again! And, I had the pleasure of meeting Colleen, Carla and Heather, all for the first time. It was a great brunch and a really nice opportunity for us all to share our experiences and get to know one another, other than just through our blogs.

I can't stress enough how helpful this blog has been to me throughout the past 14 months. I have met so many wonderful people through it, and all of your comments and commiseration have been a huge help to me. I also love being able to track my progress and to have such a great diary of this important year. I would absolutely recommend blogging to anyone bandster (or future bandster) who is interested in doing so.
Have a great night, everyone!

That is so fantastic that you are able to get together with other bandster's! Looks like you all had a great time.
You are looking fabulous by the way! I have been following your blog for about 3 months now & I can really see a difference in that short a time! You are almost at your goal!
I wish there were other blogging bandster's closer to where I live! But alas, I don't know of anyone closer than 4-6 hrs away, or more!
Anyway, sorry for the removed post, I re-read what I posted after wards & realized it didn't make sense.
Happy Holidays
What a great picture of the brunch-- I will be there for the next one-- sorry I missed this time.
And of course NO I do not hate you, Catherine (but you are too smart to think I have anything but admiration for your success...) I was just being cheeky in my blog.
Whatever: thanks for the encouragement and sharing your story. You totally know by now what an influence reading your experiences has had on me-- so I thank you again for that.
I'm Looking forward to being someone else's "Catherine" someday!!

Vanessa -- so glad that you'll make it to the next brunch! I did get a kick out of your last post, and even e-mailed the link to my mom! It's a definite NSV for me for someone to be envious of my weight (and you are absolutely right -- I took it in the spirt in which it was intended!)! :)
Debi -- you might be surprised about who is in your area. Check out the local boards on lapbandtalk.com, if you haven't already!

What a great pic! Everyone is looking great!
That is so sweet you guys toasted my Onederland accomplishment! I love it!
My 12 year old insists she wants to go to NYC for her 13th bday this spring, so maybe I can meet up with you all then!
Had a great time too!!!! How is that cream working? he he You have to do the before and after remember :-)
You know I have been thinking how fun it would be to organize a Bandster Convention with some of the people from the blogs we all tend to follow. Like meet in a fun city for a weekend at a nice hotel and all get to meet eachother. Chicago, Atlanta, Orlando, Miami?....someplace easy for most people to get to. Any thoughts???
Thanks for the idea Catherine, I haven't been reading lapbandtalk.com in a long time.
I will look into it.
That's really cool that you guys got to get together! glad it was fun!
