Hi,

I grew up on Long Island (Holbrook -- exit 61 on the LIE). Moved away 20-something years ago ... but I'll be going home for Christmas. I'll think of you then.

Hi Cathy! I'm new to the forum here, but have been thinking about how great a "live" low-carb support group would be! I live in Islip and work in Jericho...I used to work in Greenvale (at CW Post), so know right where it is...

I've been imagining a low-carb dinner round-robin...where members would take turns going to different member's homes for a low-carb dinner...wouldn't that be fun? It's a night out, some socializing, a new low-carb meal?

Maybe we could get speakers...there must be representatives of the different low-carb products who are interested in educating consumers...or doctors or counselors from hospitals...I mean, it's not like low-carb is being swept under the carpet anymore, it's now a worldwide known WOE!

Email me if you're interested in getting together and trying to form some sort of group like that...I was thinking of putting notices up in the stores that carry low-carb products...that would be a start, anyway....

Hi, I don't live in LI, but I do live in Queens! I used to live in Floral Park. I've been doing Atkins for 4 1/2 months.

Hi FaeKitty:

Is a "live" support group for low-carbers something you would be interested in? I work in Jericho - Queens is not all that far...

I would be interested in it, but it would depend on time, place and schedule. It is not something I could do weekly but I could do it twice a month.

[blynne]

Well, probably once a month is plenty in the beginning, anyway...and maybe it could advance (if successful) into one "education" meeting a month, and one dinner meeting at someone's home...or maybe at first they would alternate month to month...hmm...

I guess I just need to decide that I'm Going To Do This, and then start getting the word out there (in my spare time, ha ha ha ha!).

If you want to send me your mailing address privately, you could be the first one on my mailing list!
