Re: We're missing so many friends !!!

This morning I was remembering how jumpin' this place used to be. I knew we were missing a lot of people but I didn't realize it was THAT many. Hopefully they'll be back soon!!

Re: We're missing so many friends !!!

Yes I promise that I am back for good! I learned a lot while wildly runniing out of control! I lost it becasue I was on a road trip and hungery and unprepeared! THen it spiraled from there. I realize how bad that food tastes, and how addicted to sugar I am. I would be eating a cinnamon roll or something, and look at my hubby, and say " I don't know why I am eating this, it does not taste very good" But I ate it any way. I am on day 4 of a clean induction, and doing well.

Re: We're missing so many friends !!!

I'm here! Just been pretty busy with work and other things, haven't had much time for web browsing. I do lurk by every now and then.

Been in this stall for a while now, and have been trying different things to try and break it, including upping a rung or two of OWL. Might just have to be patient and see if it breaks

anyway, waves and hi there

Re: We're missing so many friends !!!

I was just talking to Becky Sue the other day about this. We were wondering what happened to all the 'old gang' that used to be here last year. I'd love to know how they are all doing. They were such an inspiration to me when I was first starting Atkins. I think that the special friendships that we build in this site are key-points in helping us stay on track and succeed. I hope that everyone who is now a member or even a 'frequent lurker' knows that they are welcome here and that we never turn anybody away.

Losing weight is hard. There are hundreds of support groups, but there is only one ADBB. The people here are X-tra special and caring. No matter what problem I've seen that is posted, there is always a group of people willing to give advice and hugs. I hope that everyone uses all the resources that are available here to help devise a PLAN for themselves that will work. We all come here seeking information -- but we get so much more.

Re: We're missing so many friends !!!

Ditto to what Becky said. I am on your list Cleo and I am here. I try to read the post daily but there hasn't been much to chat about lately. I am missing all the old people like Becky. Seeing the pictures and reading the weight loss story were always such a huge inspiration to me. No offense to anybody but lately all I read in the Century Club (only place I visit) is about the water challenges. The number of post have dropped dramatically.

Minpin...I just have to say I like the pic of your little ones. I saw a minpin for the first time about 4 years ago and thought they were some of the neatest dogs I had ever seen.

Re: We're missing so many friends !!!

Thanks Christopher. I love my little kids. I actually got a 3rd one a few weeks ago. As soon as I get them to cooperate for me to take a picture, I will change it in my signature.

Re: We're missing so many friends !!!

JoanOH is doing well but gets too addicted to us to let her have time for the rest of her life. until she feels in control of that she will be not visiting us

.

uniquely ambi is doing well adjusting to married life and job but not well on her Atkins I hope she will come back and work her Atkins with us.

Maybe Cleo we could each take a few of the folk and send them an email or PM id they don't have emails if you seperated the list like divied the list into groups of 4 names (not hunt and choose who cause folk always get missed that way) and everybody take the next group as they sign up?

I'll take the first 4
MotherNature
Dawn/Mighty Mucko
ArcadiaX
PapaJack
who is next?

Re: We're missing so many friends !!!

I'm with Becky,

ADBB is an amazing part of my life and I give most of my success thus far to everyone here, and all those missing in action. This place has a heart all it's own. Just saying the name outloud makes me warm all over...(and that's hard to do in winter)
But it has declined somewhat since mid summer... I miss everyone and would love to hear how they are all doing.

I lurk for a few minutes, a few times a week, but my job keeps me exhausted. I'm still hacking away at the extra pounds I still have to lose. I am convinced these remaining pounds have fingers with grips of steel, that have dug in and are refusing to let go. I practically run the length of the hospital 4 times a day or more. I have lost a ton of inches and my legs have finally stopped moving, when I stop walking. (they used to keep wiggling for 30 seconds after I ceased any kind of movement!) So walking has been fantastic for that!

Any one else have an update???

((((Waving to Cleo, Becky, Amy, JoAnne, Lauren, Bizzlekitty, Christopher, Rich, 2big)))))

Hugs, Tammy
