Start over again

How about instead of all the posts about "where have the good old days gone?" posts, we start new posts about support, about questions, about where we are in life? How about we stop rehashing what happened before and just effing move on?

It's not what was said or the drama that keeps some of us away (I don't even know what drama is being talked about). It's the fact that everytime I log on, that's ALL somebody's bringing up. I have posted updates a couple times and responded to other people's updates.

So, let's start a series of posts aimed at making things move forward instead of looking at yesterday and bemoaning the absence of people or topics. I think people will come back if they see the board mopving forward in a positive manner.

Hey pregnant lady!!! I think you are so right. I don't really come here anymore but I probably should. I am doing really really well. I'm extremely happy with how things are going in my life. I have started to lose weight again, and very close to the elusive 199! I will do it in the next couple months I'm sure. I hope to be close to my goal weight by my bday in march. I am dating someone new who is really wonderful. We are having a great time together and even went to the sanity rally this weekend. I guess now that I am out living life, I am not here to need so much support. but I know that I have some to give so I will try to show up more often!

i am so happy for u! xo

thanks sweetie!!! 

Nicole...Looking Great, Girl!

Terri

aww thanks Terri! I hope you are doing great.

Here, here! I'm glad you posted this. I agree! I'm still here and I still check in and I'd really love to get back to a place where we are lifting one another up.

I can't believe you are so close to baby-time! Congratulations. I am so excited for you! Things are pretty good for me. I'm losing very slowly (and sometimes wonder if I'm still losing at all) but I've lost over 80 pounds and I'm feeling very good about that.

I am so excited for all the newbies on here. To think, this time last year I felt so far away from my surgery date. In the past, a year would just pass anyway, but this year it's passed and I'm 80 pounds down and healthier every day. I will never forget all the support I got on here and I would really love to offer that to everyone else.

So thanks for the jump start! And good luck in the next 2 weeks!

Thanks!!! I am actually scheduled for my c-section next Thursday!

I am freaking out; not about the surgery, but about having a human being dependent on me

I hear you, and I applaud you, sister. I don't have any kids and I'm pertrified of the concept of being resposible for a little person and their contribution to this world. But you're going to do fabulously. I tend to believe that if you at least PRETEND that you know everything, you're always right and that you ARE in control, that child will believe it. ;) lol Good luck! I admire your courage. Plus isn't it amazing to think that you MADE a PERSON?! A little you and a little Jeff? It's wild!

Sylvie, I couldn't agree more!  There are so many people that visit this board but don't often post that it would be very easy to get this thing rolling again.  Oldheads, newbies, lurkers, whomever.  I challenge everybody that reads this to log on at least one time per day (if possible) and respond to at least one thread (starting one would be great as well).  Even if it's a "good job" or "attaboy".  Kind words and inspiration go a long way.  Well said Sylvie.
