    Did you guys form a support group?
    No, no support group (yet!).

    pssssss......in a whispering voice....I chew sugarfree gum everyday. Extra sugarfree.....what she don't know won't hurt I have chewed it from day one and ive been on the program for over a year now.

    If y'all start a support group and meet once a month y'all NEED to let me know so I can make plans to BE THERE!!!!

    Ok, let's get serious about a BR (and MS) support group. First, we need a count of about how many are interested. Then, when we'll meet. I suggest meeting once a month, like Lisa said, and a set schedule would be easiest, such as the last Saturday of every month. I think a coffee shop would be a good place. I live in BR, so I can suggest some, but I'm not sure how familiar everyone is with the area. Oh! New thought! What about at the BR Whole Foods? There is only one, so everyone should be able to find it, and it's on a busy corner with easy access to interstates. Plus, there is a coffee/tea shop. Let me know!

    If the syrup is made with Splenda and is 0/0/0, go for it. Otherwise, no. BTW if you find one, let me know. A snowball sounds good.
