To & Robynn - Thanks for your reply!

[Guest guest]

Hello! Thanks for the warm welcome!!! My name is and I live

in Clayton (a little city bordering Walnut Creek and the valley of

Concord). My Parkshadeland's Kaiser doctor said I need to wait for

Richmond Kaiser to call me, at which time I presume they'll tell me

if I got accepted into the program. But after reading Robynn's

reply I'm wondering now if I just need to patiently follow

directions and wait until I get that phone call or should I initiate

contact?. Do you think it'd be helpful to call them and plead my

case so that they know how interested I am? But who do I call

there? I already began my attempt at loosing some weight on my

own. A healthy weight for someone my height is 160 lbs, which is

where I was at in high-school and college. After getting married

and having my child, the weight began creaping up little by little.

I'm currently at 250 lbs. I've lost 8 lbs in the past 2 weeks by

staying away from carbs and boxing 4 times/wk (now that I can't play

volleyball due to my bad knees, I began boxing--I'm starting to

realize that the boxing is not so gentle on my knees either, it

sux!). But I tend to do that: I get to 220 and then I gain the

weight back again. It's so frustrating!!! I really cannot wait to

get back to my healthy weight and be able to live my life w/o any

more pain.
