Okay, now we're getting somewhere.  It might not be where I was hoping, but at least it's somewhere.  From the short time I've been back, I have come to this conclusion through my tireless hours of research.  Ok, just kidding.  Anyway, it is apparent that Tia had some not so nice things to say about Julie and then eventually apologized, which Julie accepted.  Julie claims that Tia's rants continued beyond the apology and sosureofme claims to have had run ins with Tia as well.  They both seem to think Tia ran people off the board.  Andy thinks that Tia was a huge inspiration and support regular on here for a long time and has helped many individuals with problems over the course of time.  Andy thinks it all sounds like a bunch of junior high drama that really should cease if this board is going to get to where it needs to be.  By no means am I pointing fingers, but I am going to ask this:  "Can't we all just get along"?  Please?

Since the second trimester, my exercise has consisted of walks to the bathroom and the kitchen.

But, on a positive note, I already have my plan in place for after maternity leave :)

It is a shame that what I posted annoyed you .Do you think you are perfect?  I was told it bothered you that I did not have surgery yet but continued to stay active on the board. I really would have thought that someone that was not a total success would have had empathy towards someone like me.  I am curious if each person that posts here is annoyed by what others say?  This is an open board and if you did not like what I said why did you continue to read my posts and verbally talk behind my back with others. I had even invited you to sit across a table from me so we could discuss this like adults. You chose to go behind my back and use an open forum.  A place where people came for help with weight issues. You did apologize and I accepted it but you did not stop talking. Not only did you not stop talking you were angry with others who tried to support me.  I think that the next time you go to criticize or judge someone  your 1st stop should be the mirror.

When I joined the board you were supportive and then you decided to become a Drama Queen and you turned the board into your social network.. Once you posted the Shepherd the game started. How immature think about what I have said and even though you posted you really can't do more than that I feel you can and should.  I hope with your new relationship you find happiness & peace and can let go of some bitterness and negativity.

Okay, I first want to apologize for being away so long.  I've had a ton of things going on in my life the last couple of years as I've been trying to get my life back on track.  Things are coming along slowly, but coming along nonetheless.  This board was once a great source of support for so many of us that needed it and it's time to get things back where they once were.  If you're going to be a drama queen, no real need to chime in.  I, for one, need the support and that's my purpose for showing up again.

So, with that being said, who is moving their butts and getting into shape today?  For me, it was a 3 mile run this morning and now I'm heading into work.  Haven't ran a race in almost two years and that's going to come to an end early next month when I enter a local 5K.  For those that don't know me, I am by no means a drill sargeant.  I believe in working at your own pace and progressing as it becomes easier for you.  Start out slow - maybe a 15 minute walk and then graduate from there.  You can do it and you are so worth it!!!
