Hello Nicole and welcome back. I just came back last night myself
I first joined in 2002 and lost from 242 to 189. For an entire year, I posted regularly and like you met some buddies here that became close friends during that time. Somehow as life went on, one by one, we got busy and started posting less and less until eventually no one was showing up anymore.
I came back in 2006 when I suddenly realized I had put back on about 20+ lbs and didnt want to gain back the rest. I met a new group I hit it off with and same thing eventually happened. Now here I am again and back up to 231!! (notice my tracker is definitely from a past time) I havent changed it because I think seeing those lower numbers gives me motivation and reminds me of what I've allowed to happen by gaining this weight back.
I read and read through posts last night but could never settle on a group that I felt was the perfect fit for me. I dont really want to drop into one with lots of people who have already gotten to know each other for a long period of time. I'd rather start out with a new group where everyone can get to know each other at the same time.
Would you be interested in the two of us starting a thread for others maybe who are like us and back AGAIN?? I know that coming here played a huge part in my past successes and the posting always helped keep me accountable. If so, let me know. We'll think of a name for the group and see if anyone else drops in.
Just a thought. If you've already found a thread to join, that's totally fine too!
