Hello all,
I have been reading your posts for awhile now like a fly on the wall, but have never posted anyhing.
I just got off the phone from booking my consult!!! I am so nervous I am shaking
You are all so supportive to each other, this forum is a big reason why I feel I will be able to succeed on this program.
I just wanted to say Hi and I am looking forward to finally joining in and chatting with you all.

Welcome tommyboy!  I remember how nervous I was when I started.  I didn't really know what to expect.  Try to relax because it's not all that bad.  The clinic is there to help you lose the weight and it will certainly come off fast for you.  Good luck and enjoy!

Check out the before/during pictures. They will get you super excited. And take pictures of yourself now and again each month. It kept me from going astray a number of times.

Welcome!

You will feel so great after your first consult.  I was nervous, but when I walked out of the surgery I felt so positive and ready to go.  You will feel so great that you are doing something for yourself and looking after number 1!

I'm looking forward to seeing your progress and cheering you on!  Make sure you create a ticker after your consult so we can all see how great you are doing! (and I love changing the numbers to go down after each weigh in!)

Thankyou you all for the welcome.
I very much look forward to starting my very own ticker to watch the weight come off. I thought when I called the clinic that I would have a longer wait until my consultation, so it took me a little off guard that they booked it for next thursday. I'm happy it's not a long wait though, less temptation to have multiple "last meals" and end up with even more weight to lose

p.s. glenna you're before and after pictures are great, very inspirational, keep up the great work.

That's great!  Less than a week to go

Your mention of last meals reminded me of mine ...  It was the last Friday before I started the diet and I had the best apple pie at Jack Astor's.  Just the thought of that satisfies any thoughts that I have now to have forbidden items!  I know one day i'll be able to have it again, but until then I can remember my last meal.  For me it was definitely worth having a final treat before I went head first into the diet!

Keep us updated with your progress!

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome,

 I too had lots of doubts and thought this plan was just another one to add to my long list of things I tried but didn't work.  IT WORKED and was just what my body needed--like a food boot camp.
