This- Tuesday Night (March 6th) Online Support Group for Men…… (That's Tonight Ya'll!) Well, it seems that having a Topic driven Online Chat Is more valuable for more folks…. I’ve got a few "Calls Out" for some "Guest Appearances" And should have some of the guys from the Exercise Forum Joining us! Tonight'sTopic?

EXERCISE! From previous chats and the message board it seems that, as a group, We are "All over the Map" when it comes to the –

Getting in Exercise to Firm up While Dropping the Weight! Some of the more popular areas  are- Walking/Running- Lifting- Biking- Swimming- and- General Mixed/Cardio/Strength Workout-      This Meeting should be useful exchange of info for Older Post-Ops as well as Newer and Pre-Ops looking to pick-up suggestions from others… It would be Great to have all the "Expert Advice" possible in this one… (If you see any of the Guys out on the Boards, Invite ‘em to Drop in!) (send an e-mail by any of the Old-Posters you might keep in touch with…) Any ideas or "Regimens" that have helped you? "Beef-Up Supplements?" Any question about- "Are Ya’ll finding that…..?"

Hey Phil, Wish you could have made it. Hope your Group went well! There’s a thread up above- http://obesityhelp.com/forums/men/a,messageboard/action,repl ies/board_id,5479/cat_id,5079/topic_id,3235395/

Specifically to gather info from the Exercise Gurus here…. Hopefully it’ll fill up with links and "Tips and Trick" from all on the Board. Sometimes "Chat" just becomes "Chat," and the Board is a better Venue to disseminate actual info… Best Wishes- Dx

I agree with Carbonblob.  Just my opinion...Didn't seem very productive to me. Just about everyone was way off topic. I monitored it for about an hour and didn't read anything remotely useful.

Yep, This weeks was A-Typical,  very unlike previous attempts. The Board/Thread format may be the best option. Sorry to invite you to a  Lame Event! Thanks for dropping in all the same. Best Wishes- Dx

Yeah, This week was particularly off-topic. Some "pot-stirrers" dropped in with agendas that had nothing to do with the topic. That was ‘a first.’ It Has been mostly the usual crowd- AJ, CardsFan, And others with useful info and topic driven discussion. Past ones have been quite productive. Oh well, the thread/Board mode still functions fairly well…. The Un-Moderated Chat format may be an attempted experiment that presents a case for why that Doesn’t Work. Still useful to know…. Best Wishes- Dx

Hey Dx, No need to apologize. I think it just needed a leader to keep it on track. The "Un-Moderated Chat format" was probably the key to this not working Tuesday night. I expected to see you jump into the chat room and was working at the time, so I wasn't 100% focused on the Chat, so I didn't even try to steer it. I would read over the previous poster's comments in-between calls at work and just never saw anyone talking about exercise in general. It's worth doing again but I think it requires a moderator to keep it focused on the subject. Thanks for the invite. Earl
