Testify!

Hello all, many of you know me from the fall (I joined in early September), and I wanted to come on and re-introduce myself for those who forgot me, and for those who don't know me. Sorry for my long absence from the site, but I am a Sr. IT professional for a large corporation and December and January are bad months for us (every department wants to spend the last of their 07 money and spend their new budget before someone snaps it up) so I have been noticably missing (I hope )
Anyway, I wanted to "testify" for the site. If you are new, or haven't had much sucess, I am a believer. After 35 lbs in 3 months (largely thanks to this site, IMHO) I am now at my maintenance level and will continue to use the site. Now that things have calmed down at work a bit, I should be able to frequent the site more.
I would like to welcome all you newbies, and wish you all the luck and support I have; and to all you veterans out there, KEEP CHUGGIN! (well, not literally, but you know what I mean.)
-Steve "Banks" H.
(I know many will hate me for this but) GO PATS!

Welcome back banks,
Great to see you again. I've been wondering were you went. Miss your posts!!!0 -
Ahhhhhhhhh, the love, THE LOVE!!!
You guys are so awesome. I wish people were always as nice and supportive as everyone on this site. I think my family needs to be immersed in this site for a few months. LOL!0 -
:flowerforyou: Nice to Meet ya!
I've been on the site since the beginning of January and am in love.
Really, though, this has given me the motivation needed to succeed. I'm trying to get everyone I know wrapped up in MFP! :bigsmile:0 -
I always worry when I don't see someone for a while, they feel off the wagon, so welcome back - good to know people can leave without losing sight of their goals!0

Nice to meet you! I started in January and I'm accomplishig everything the site said I would.
And hey, my 2 favorite teams are the Eagles and whoever's playing the Giants!0 -
Welcome back Bankable!

HI AND WELCOME BACK iI love this site too!! Thanks for the extra motivation. I have a lot of weight to lose and plan on doing it slowly, 14 lbs down so far. many more to go. I am trying to focus on 5 lbs at a time, and even though I have had my cheat days I believe this site gives me the incentive to get right back on and try harder. My willpower has dramatically increased, and I owe a lot of it to the people on this site. Thanks again0

Well i'll welcome you back here too! :flowerforyou:
You were definately noticeably missed!!

Ack, um, for me? Trying to loose the 4 lbs I gained on my cruise. Thank god I got sick or it would have been 8 lbs.
I'll think of something. Maybe something like "everyone suggests an exercise routine for a week and we all have to try it". I don't wanna do just another scale thing (since I haven't looked at the scale since december anyway.) I'm open to idea's. You guys don't wanna know what I'm gonna attempt this month, suffice to say it involves 10K races that I'm just not ready for.0 -
I would love to do some sort of marathon but 10k is WAY too much for me.

I just joined this week and found it cool to see that people seem to really "connect" with others! So I guess I'd like to say "welcome back" to banks! And, I know exactly where you're coming from as far as your little break - I'm in the IT profession as well! Gotta love it. Well, I'm looking for all the help and support I can get! My problem is that I seem to know all the proper things that will help with weight loss and health management but I just don't have the SELF DISCIPLINE! Argh. So, here's to a new me this spring!! (I hope.)0
