NB: Ok people from New Beginnings at FitSmart...how about we give this place a shot?

Those of you who opened this post knowing what the title meant...you found me!   Those of you who are clue-less...our support group "New Beginnings" is trying to find an internet spot we can connect at...so we're going to give this a shot and see if it works for us.  We're going to try and start our post titles with something specific (like NB:) so that the rest of you who don't belong to our group and have no interest in it can easily skip over our posts.  However, I'm pretty sure I speak for everyone in our group that the more input we receive the better...so you're welcome to join our conversations! We meet at the Rohr center in Voorhees on Thursday nights from 8-9pm.  It is a program we've paid for, but I believe you can still come visit even if you're not a paid member.  It's a mix of lap-band and RNY patients and a mix of pre- and post-surgery.  Pretty much everyone (besides me I think) had their surgery through Virtua's program here in S. Jersey, so most people have the same surgeons in common. Say hello...introduce yourself...if you're from NB's start your profile page up and request me as your "friend" so I can add you.  I can't wait to see if this will work for us!  Looking for your feedback!

Ok so I figured it out... I wasn't sure if I was going to. I still have some work to do on my profile. It is so time consuming. How do I set-up my signature and photos? I have no clue... Have you decided if you were going to skip tommorow? I think I'm gonna go to get weighed and the nutrition class. Then I'll go home just in time for Lost.  Do you have any plans  for SuperBowl? Talk to you soon. Terri

Although it is not showing up on the forum board, it is there my original post... I don't know what happened...  So how was last night?? I wanted to stay, it just wouldn't have worked. I will definately be there next week even though there is no group. That is the night we should try swapping. The first Thursday of the month. I was thinking that we should theme the recipe swap nights. Make the dish and bring copies of the recipe for those who like it? It could be mexican, italian, desserts, apps, protein and so on. Just a thought... Thank you so much for my samples... I can't wait to try them! talk to you soon, Terri

Hey!  Not ignoring you...I was on a women's retreat from Friday afternoon until just a few minutes ago...so I haven't been on the internet (withdrawl!) Group was good...it was actually on fitness...which I enjoyed and learned a bit from.  I actually get a little frustrated with nutrition class sometimes because I feel like I could almost get up and teach it (not that what they're sharing is wrong or bad...just that I've done so stinkin much research on my own over my lifetime that it's sort of "old news" to me). I like the idea of putting a theme to the recipe nights!  Did we decide we were actually going to bring the food?  I guess I missed that somehow!  Personally, I'd rather we just did recipe's and not the food...but if that's where everyone feels led to go I'd certainly join in the fun! Hope you've found a protein you can stomach! Oh, I might skip this week if there's no class...we'll see how the week goes...I'll keep you posted! Heather
