HEy Barb,
Glad things are working out for you! I didn't know that Donna left this board and took everyone with her. No one told me about it! I was wondering where everyone went. Why did she leave in the first place? I really liked her, too.
Oh, well...this site has been good to me. I'm staying,
We just finished our move from RI to CT. Are settling in to our new house and love it! We'll have lots to do here and Bob's family is nearby and mine is just 30 min away.
Have a good weekend.

Topic: PLEASE everyone help me
HEY Everyone,
Please help me if you can. My sister, Renia suffers from pulmonary fibrosis. She is 39 years old with 3 daughters. She just emailed me this website for a petition to help with the awareness of this disease. I love my sister so much and I don't want to loose her but this is a battle she wont be able to win. I was wondering if you could help spread the word or even put a link for this petition. Please HELP me do this. I feel so helpless because I can't help her. This way maybe I can just a little. Even if you cant do anything with your website, could you please at least sign the petition for me. Every signature helps. Here are the details.
"Slow Suffocation: Increasing Public Awareness of Pulmonary Fibrosis" My sister Renia needs your help, she suffers from this. Please sign the petition
Please take a moment to read about this important issue, and join me in signing the petition. It takes just 30 seconds, but can truly make a difference. We are trying to reach 1,000 signatures - please sign here: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/382515892
Once you have signed, you can help even more by asking your friends and family to sign as well.
Thank you!

No, it wasnt WLSIndy,,,I need to go back there. I need all the support I can get, I never get to a support group meeting,,too far to drive alone at night. Thats why I soend a lot of time here.
I am of the same mindset. Im not gonna forbid myself a cookie now and then, or a coke,,but I refuse to make a habit of it, and am always right back to plan. Life is short, especially at my age! LOL But at least I know I extended it with this surgery!
Blessings

Wow i didn't even realize there had been any big ban or people leaving the website. I'm sorry to hear that. I am still around. I usually check in once a week or so but since there aren't many posts I don't have much to say. I've been doing good. Maintaining 125-130 since November and training right now for a full marathon in Sept, just one day after my 2yr surgery anniversary! I hear everyone on the carbs and sugar. I have done pretty well keeping myself in check but I can tolerate both without much problem (have not had a LOT of sugar but I know I can eat one cookie for instance) so it can be hard sometimes. My theory is I want to live as normal a life as possible though so if I can have the occassional treat in moderation and not regain any weight then I see on harm in it.
Betsy-you posted the one time on wlsindy.com and I never saw you come back. I surely hope we're not the site you're referring to, I think the people there are nothing but wonderful. You surely must be talking about another site, I hope!

Hey Michelle! Im here! I come over and lurk every once in wahile, but there are hardly any posts here. I post daily on the Over Fifty Forum,,
I tried that other site too, and agree,,too mean! Ill stick with this one, its never done me anything but good, so why change now?
Im maintaining at around 140 pounds off, which puts me at around 192 pounds. Today I started back to basics though, would love to see that last 17 pounds come off!
Ive been busy too, gardening, vacationing, walking a lot, just everyday living. Life is so much better than it used to be! I can actually move now! I wear a size 12-14, and love that,,some 16s in the hip area, depends on how they are made. Everyone says I look a lot smaller than that though.
I struggle with the carb and sugar monster, cause I dont dump much, usually on fats when I do. Every day is a challenge. Ice cream, has been my craving lately, so I try to stick to sugar free low fat when I do indulge.
By the way, you look great!! So young and pretty! Congrats!
Well, better go get some crystal lite,,
Blessings
