Question:
Does anyone know who Barb Day is?

I can't remember where I saw this response, but someone had said that "Barb Day" was a great example of weight loss. Can you help me?    — [Deactivated Member] (posted on December 29, 2004)

Barb was a long term member who just got burned out on the subject, and being head of the moderator team. One day she quit and moved on, sadly deleting her own profile in the process. I hear from her occasionally. She is doing great and I consider her a very good friend. The Mod job can be stressful at times, with all sorts of hassles and concerns. I have hung in here thru some bad times of my own. It got a LOT easier with me just caring for Q&A, the posters here are wonderful, and for the most part I just keep a eye on things. I remain helping here fufiling my promise to God to help others if I survived surgery and did well.

Hi Bob, I remember Barb. I think it was a mistake that she deleted her profile, but folks sometimes make rash decisions without considering the long-term effects. I came very close to deleting my profile about a year ago, but after a great deal of thought and prayer, I decided to leave it for others who followed behind and needed my experience to learn from. <p>You are the one that I and countless others really appreciate, though. You have helped keep the Q&A section very enjoyable to participate in and also to read on a regular basis. Thanks for fulfilling your promise to God. I hope you stay for years to come, but if you ever feel the need to move on and do something else, please leave your profile for others who will make the same journey. It is your gift to the future members of this site and all of us, as well. God bless! :-)
