Just on a whim...

hit "members" on the right hand column... did the math...1,255 peeps joined this group over X number of years...how many are posting ( 10-15 0f us..generous..)?   Where are they?  Successful, just not posting?   board with the mendacity of it all?    What?    Most importantly, .... what about me????  I sifted through the names.... looked at the avatars 9 and (no avatars also), and wondered about the stories....the up-date....some kind of , well, prediction of my fate in thisWl drama   ....

No answers, no predictions...(hopefully, no juju upon me)...let my story be of my own making.  But, the question remains....  WHERE ARE Y"ALL Who joined this hopeful group, but are no longer posting?  bonnie      

Good question!!!

I've wondered about that too .... Diane, since you've been here since the group started, what's your take on this?  

I also wonder about the people who join the group now but never post ....  

I have no clue why people don't post more here. maybe they just have lives that are more interesting. but I think we are pretty fun. sometimes maintenance seems unexciting and nothing new to offer. sometimes i try to throw out a topic to start something. maybe it needs to be snarky and controversial. oh well. i love this little group .  maybe people don't want to post their weight because of creeping up.  not facing reality.  but no one needs to do that. 

So hey out there you successful or otherwise maintainers:  please post.  actually, anyone is welcome here - post op or otherwise.   diane

I usually don't check in hardly ever... happened to by mistake the other day and saw Karik;s post. My only reason is simply that the majority of the posts are check-in posts. I think that is a great idea for folks who find that sort of thing a useful tool, but I go a different path with that. I am a little over 2 years out, still under goal... but just barely now. Fighting escalating A1c levels, back at prediabetic status, and am waiting not so patiently to have my mastectomy reconstruction work completed so that I can finally, finally begin to exercise again.
