Welcome from the 2008 VVs

[tapshoes 2]

Hi everyone!

On behalf of the February Victorious Valentines of 2008, welcome to LBT and your new life. You will be excited:w00t:, happy:thumbup:, frustrated:cursing:, and annoyed :thumbdown:and even hungry :crying:at different times...that's normal! I hope you find coming and 'talking' with others who are going through the same things at the same time beneficial.

You will find that some posters stop dropping by - that's normal to. For those who keep posting, remember at some point we all need someone to give us a kick in the pants, or to offer words of wisdom or to help Celebrate our successes...try to be that someone for someone else.

It has been my experience that using the forum can help - just remember, it is a board of opinions NOT medical advice. Read and evaluate, but remember to follow YOUR doctor's orders...they will NOT be the same as everyone else's. That's because you are not the same as the next person!

Most of all - the band is a tool NOT a magical device. YOU have to do your part. YOU have to follow the rules. YOU have to chew chew chew, include exercise in your life, watch your food intake. It is up to YOU.

Good luck on your journey, and feel free to jump into the Feb 2008 thread to see how we are doing - lurk or participate- whatever you are comfortable with.

Here's to a thinner future and your decision!

Tapshoes, what a great sendoff for us February 2009 bandsters. Thank you for taking the time to pop over here and share experience, strength and hope. I'll definitely be coming by to pick the brains of my February 2008 brothers and sisters!

Thank you.

Debbie

Thanks for the encouragement. I have been popping into the FEb 8 bandsters to see how you are doing. It certainly is motivating. Keep up the good work. :bananalama:
