Where has everyone gone?

Including myself!  I love facebook, but lets not forget that OH is here to keep us in check with our weight and support.  I need you guys.  I'm here daily, a lot, and I may not reply, but I promise I read and I will work on replying more, if you will.  I need you guys!  I NEED the support for my maintaining weight and wanting to get back down a few more pounds. 

Lets not forget OH!!

 I also read every day...just don't post as much on here. FB seems to be "easier" for some reason...but we DO need to keep our OH family together. I will try to do better...just been a little preoccupied the last couple of weeks!! 

I agree!  Facebook is a lot easier.  Maybe OH can change their forum?  LOL  I love this place. 

Preoccupied huh?
Love ya & miss ya! 

What's his name?  Oops I mean good morning Pam!!!

I couldn't resist that remark when I read that you had been preoccupied for the last couple of weeks.  I know I am a bad, bad girl!!!  But spill.....

Okay, I will go and leave you alone.  Have a wonderful time with your preoccupation!!!

Good morning Randall,

You are so right.  I haven't been here for a couple of weeks.  I've been slammed at work!  It'll probably be that way for a few more weeks, if not until after September 12.  That is the biggest day for our office. 

I was posting a lot every day before that, and plan on doing it again.  Hopefully I'll do better this coming week.

I'm supposed to be 'moving my butt'...my doctor's exact words.  I've started losing again, but I don't exercise.  He said I need to walk out my door and walk for 15 minutes and then turn around and go home.  I haven't started it yet, but I have lost 33lbs of my regain in the last 7 months.  I had regained to 218 lbs after meeting my goal of 150 lbs.  I am now back down to 185 lbs and back in so many clothes that I had grown out of again. 

I regained my weight not eating any sugar.  I now allow myself sugar, I don't dump unless I over indulge.  For example at work the other day someone brought in a Snickers cake.  I cut slices for everyone and used to I wouldn't eat any and I would feel so deprived!  I took a fork and picked up the pieces that had fallen back on the plate and had one forkfull and it was delicious and it satisfied me!  I NEVER thought I would be able to eat one bite of anything so sweet and delicious without eating the entire thing!  It is an awesome feeling to know that I can now do that.  I can finally make decisions about my health and look at those sweets or that deep fried food or any other carb/calorie/fat loaded food and weight the taste against what it is going to do to me in regards to my weight and or my health and make the right decision.  Sometimes it may be that I want it enough that I say yes, but ususally it is just for a bite or two. 

This is what OH and all the support I get from you guys and the love I get here and from my blood family has done for me.  Oh no, another book...  Oh well, when I do post...I do post!!!!!! :-)  Love you and please give my love to Lucy and the kids.  I hope Lucy is feeling better!

What is the attraction with facebook? Am I the only one that's not into it? I have an account but it's primary function is to allow me to talk to my mom. Other than that, it collects digital dust. What happened to myspace? I never see anyone over there any more.

My attraction with Facebook is that it's easier to CHOOSE who you want to talk to and who you don't and who you want to see your stuff and who not.  There are an awful lot of really hateful people here on OH (and on Facebook too I'm sure), but it's easier to keep that stuff out of my life on Facebook.  I just don't need the haters.

That's ture. I try to limit my exposure to haters too. I'm just not into facebook and not really into myspace much anymore either. I have an online life but it's more of a business thing than a social thing.

I've just been unpacking and getting my feet wet at work.  I didn't know people were facebooking.... besides Cathi.  Man, I feel so left out!  sniff, sniff!

We're here for you (and each other), Randall.
