Anybody else get bummed out when

[ConfusedAndNeedHelp]

people that joined around the same time as you never show up again? Seems that many people that joined around the time I did have lost their way.

I take it as a class sort of thing and personally root for them to graduate to their goals, but I didn't think that many would drop out.

No reason to assume they quit Atkins. They may be doing very well but just don't have the time or inclination to post on here. I know if I want to get anything done in my life, I need to spend a lot less time on here, too.

I wouldn't sweat it. There's always us n00bies who pop in and make a go of it with everyone else here.

I guess some people need to study this diet more before they are comfortable with it.

I don't have a clue who started with me.. But I will continue to just keep working at it and hopefully those are doing the same thing too

It's sad but not surprising. I read some dieting statistcs somehere (darn it, wish I had kept the website) that said that 1/3rd of people starting a new diet quit after one day. Gotta wonder about how many quit after 1 week 1 month etc. I imagine that people who join a board like this do better but it's bound to happen a lot.

One nice thing is that we see a lot of people that leave and then come back, so it's entirely possible that you will see that person again. If not I guess all we can do is hope that they are still making healthy choices.

I know what you mean - when I look through the members lists and see people with one or 2 posts or whatever who are all keen and then don't come back it seems kind of a shame. Some people come back after a gap though, and plenty of people have been around a couple of years or more

I always wonder whether the experienced people who posted lots of the stickies are still doing Atkins and just not around here.
