WISH Meet Pics!

[Beanie]

We all had a great time at the WISH Meet on Friday and I wanted to post some pictures for everyone to see...I wish all our WISH friends could have been there, especially Kelsie, since she started the board herself, but unfortunately she could not be there...

Here are some of the pictures I took...

Thanks for posting Beanie! Everyone looks great! You guys must have had a great meet :) If only I could have gone down a couple of days earlier ... next time!:p

I can't wait to log in at work to see these tomorrow.

I don't know why, sometimes at home I can see pics, and sometimes I can't!:confused:

[Rhonda]

Thanks for posting the pictures Beanie!!! We had so much fun, and I think we were all thrilled with the huge turnout! We took up more tables than we were supposed to! LOL!

Thank you Ohmom for starting the meet, and thank you Amelia for the great nametags!!! Everybody loved them!!

The guy in the hat was my DH, and unofficial member of WISH.

He's doing Atkins with me, but hasn't signed up for WISH yet.

Thanks for having us, and thanks for the great nametag Amelia!!
It was so much fun to meet everyone......... I can't wait for the next one!!

WISH I was there.

Great pictures! Thanks for posting. Looks like you all had so much fun. It's great to put faces with the familiar names on the WISH board.

[JenEeyore]

Great pics! WISH I could have come down to join you! Rhonda, your face looks even thinner than when I saw you a few weeks ago! Good job to all!

Maybe I'll have to organize a meet when I go down in May!

Welcome back to those who have returned to the boards and hope those still down there are having a blast -I'm very jealous.

Catch you all later!

Thanks for posting the pictures, Beanie! It was SO NICE to meet you and your DH! :) We had a blast at the meet. I just downloaded my pictures and will work on my report today, so hopefully I will have a link ready to post before noon.

It was a GREAT meet. Everyone is just as nice in person as they are on the boards!!!! We had a ball! It was wonderful to gather all the hugs from my WISH friends and to hear the voices of so many great people talking about their WISH successes!!!!!! Onward and Downward!!! :)

[Amelia]

Love your pictures Beanie!

I had a great time meeting everybody and finally putting some faces with all those names!

We'll have to do this again next year at Mousefest 2004!

WISH I could have been there, too. My DH and I were at WDW last year at this time....it was simply magical. But then to top it off with a DIS meet would have been even more special. Maybe someday!!:D

[froglady]

I had a great time meeting you all! As already mentioned, everyone is just as nice in person as they are on the boards.

It was great to meet so many people who are at different stages on their journey to good health. Some of us have reached their destination, some are just starting, but ALL of us know that it will be a lifetime trip, with many bumps and detours along the way.

That's why it's so great to have a forum like this one, and to have face to face meets from time to time, so we can share our triumphs and disappointments, and continue forward together.

YEAH!!! More pictures!! Beanie, thanks for sharing your pictures! Everyone looks so great and so happy!!

[KarenNY]

Thanks for sharing the pics, Beanie. It was a great meet. Special thanks to Amelia for those wonderful nametags. Standing next to KathyTX, I definitely didn't feel tall, Olga;)

[WebmasterKathy]

No Amazon cracks, KarenNY!!!

It was so much fun- I WISH all of our WISH friends could have been there! Lots of hugs, lots of laughs, lots of new friends who already feel like old friends...

[nativetxn]

Thank you, Amelia, for the wonderful name tags. They were gorgeous, you really put a lot of time and effort into creating them for us.

I loved meeting up with so many fellow WISHers. Thanks for posting the photos for us.

[Amelia]

The WISH meet was so much fun and it's fun to see the pictures!

I'm glad everybody enjoyed their name tags! Maybe I'll be able to think up something different for next year! I'm already looking forward to Mousefest 2004!!

[dizneenut]

Great pics. Everyone looks wonderful. :)

[lmhall2000]

Oh how I wish I could be there!!! It would be amazing to meet all these beautiful faces that have been such an encouragement to me and my weight loss. But I'm gearing up for that marathon next year so I hope I'll see a bunch of you there!!! :) thanks for sharing the great pictures!
