Updating profiles

Why does it seem that a lot of people stop updating their profiles when they start losing? When I began this journey there were three people that I was following their stories. Of those three all have pretty much stopped updating their profiles at all. I am so disappointed each time I look and nothing new is posted. #1 had surgery in Feb '06 and has not updated since March #2 had surgery in March '06 and has not updated since August #3 had surgery in April '06 and has not updated since mid September Plus there are several members of another board (not WLS related) who have had surgery and it has been years since they updated their profiles. I am just curious why that is. I sure hope I do a better job of keeping mine up. Atleast once a year after the weight is off. Just my gripe for the day.....

This seems to be the case for most of the journals and online diaries. Good starts and then no posts. Bridget

I think a lot of people before surgery are so hungry for knowledge they are on the boards all the time, constantly (and I mean daily) updating their profiles. After surgery they start to lose weight and then they get their energy back and start getting busy with life again, so they don't have "time" to update. Or they simply get on with their lifes and totally forget about the board let alone their profiles. All we can do is hope we can be different. That we update for those coming after us. We need to give them something to read! Joanne
