To: Anyone who is upset about the change!

I am sorry for any hurt feelings the change is causing. I offered to do this out of the kindness of my heart. I did not do this to start a problem with anyone. I am truely sorry for anyone who is hurt by this. ~~hugs and well wishes~~ Chris

Aw Chris...I so appreciate you doing this. I know Jackie would totally understand the need for you or anyone to "pick up the baton" by doing this and when she gets back I'm sure she will tell you so herself. ((BIG SQUEEZE))

I agree with Josie !! You are an awesome woman for stepping up to bat here. Thank you for all you do! I also agree that Jackie would understand. Becky

Chris, I'm sad to think someone would be hurt by you doing something to help. So many are unhappy at this point and it is suppose to be something fun that we look forward to. I wish I had the time to help out, but just finding the time to say thank you is all I have. Hope you have a fantastic weekend. Hugs Lisa

If our email exchange prompted this message to the group, I just wanted to let you know that I am not upset, I just want to help. But we did discuss this privately, so I hope you know there are no hard feelings. I think it is clear that there needs to be more than one person leading this program in order for it's success and I want to help! Thanks, Alexandra

Frankly, I think it is very noble of you to take on the challenge....Hat's Off to you and I'm sure Jackie will appreciate the help. luvitsunnyv

Chris, Thank you so much for doing this! Just some more advice anyone new signing up, make sure they know the "rules". You need to stay active. It can be so disheartening when you are sending stuff and not getting anything in return. Let me know how I can help, any sticky posts you need. Anything. Amy

Amy, were you able to get a list of everyone who posted on this board? I did check out a post by Shannon H and saw numerous posts but unfortunately the list I have is by first and last names and not oh names! http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/secret_pals/postdetail/36.html?vc=0 This has gotten a lot of replies but I hate to leave anyone out! I have called Jackies phone number numerous times since Friday without any luck and I did fine her OH name and she lives in VA, but her profile does not show up. (duke blue) I guess we will just keep posting until we get the majority on here. I will also post a list of people I have not heard from. Thanks for all your help! ~~hugs and well wishes~~ Chris

I'll see if we have been able to pull the email list, I'll let you know something in a few days. Amy

Hey! You are doing a great service! No way would or should anyone be upset! I am sure everyone greatly appreciates what you are doing! xxxxx
