Hello to all

I have been asked by a couple of folks what this board will be about?  What types of things should we post here?  Is this just about the group meetings?  So I thought I would throw it out there.  What would you guys like to see happen to this board?  What do you all want to post about?  I am open to anything.  I think since I have some folks who don't live in this area it should be open discussion not just about the meetings.  I will say for you guys that are not able to attend the physical meetings if you have questions or need/want information about what we have discussed in the meeting then post away and ask.  Also, I started all this for support so that is what I hope to get out of all of this.  Let me hear from you, What would you like to post about?  Would you like for us all to check in daily, weekly, once a month?  You are all the members here you decide!

Jenn thanks for asking.  I will try to check in daily.  I also like to post about concerns and questions.  I listen to the board all the time.  It helps in making my decisions.  I sometimes research things to death befor I make my final decissions.  You never know when a question will come up and help is needed.  That is why I would like to check on here daily if work and home permits.

Hello!

I think I would like to see topic based discussions relevant to each of the monthly topics. We could post links to research and other helpful items as they relate to the topic of the month. We can also provide encouragement, ideas, support, etc. as it relates to each individual topic. Since the topics are planned in advance, could you simply make separate discussions titled by the name of each topic? That way people could read/post at their convenience.

It is really easy in this day and age with all the technical stuff going on to be overwhelmed, so my personal preference is to not feel like I need to check this area every day.

The topic based support is what interested me and I would like to see this group continue with this idea.

Looking forward to next week's meeting!

Maybe a discussion of the  monthy support group meeting - That way we can follow-up and post pre & post group meeting question - The meeting this month was so wonderful and I have used much of the info already! I can even stay on the balance ball! yea for me - Gaye

Because I seem to have a hard time getting north or west for meetings, what was covered in the meetings would be great for me so I can maybe start participating that way. I do have an exercise ball.. :) and I try to set on it two or three days a week at home when I am using my computer. I haven't ventured to the exercise portion of it yet. But plan to. I have major exercise issues and need to try something to motivate me to do the exercise either daily or every other day.
I am interested in what ever is discussed here. And if I have anything to add to it will be happy to.
Thanks for the group.

I think this board would be a good place to ask for questions about what will be discussed at the next meeting.  For instance, we know the subject for the next group meeting is protein, so we could post questions we might have here, so you can be prepared with answers. 

Also, you can use this to choose future subjects for your meetings. 

Keep up the great work.

This isn't necessarily about the discussion page, but another.  On the photos page, it probably makes sense to create some sub folders.  A before and after folder is the first that comes to mind.  If everyone names their picture files with username-before.jpg or username-after.jpg, then provided the folders alphabetize. everyone's before and after pictures should always be right next to each other.

I don't think I really want to see another board where I would need to go everyday (I realize I don't need to go to the forums every day, but I HAVE to lol).....

It would be helpful to see maybe a folder with suggested topics for here and for the meetings.  It would also be nice if there was information/links posted from the meetings in case we want to go back and review something from the meeting or if we miss it and want to see what we missed out on.

I am always up for advice suggestions from wherever I can get it and informative articles I can read at my leisure.

It would be nice to keep this area free of off topic subjects, rants and raves, etc.---things that are already available somewhere else on the Boards.

Thanks for all you all do to help everyone.

I would like to see posts about the meetings and what was discussed. I think these things would be helpful to me. I like who ever said about links that we can search out. Also if there are recipes that might get passed out or any information sheets would these be available to people who might not be able to make the meetings?

Thanks for doing this. You are greatly appreciated for your efforts.
