I know that a few kinks need to be worked out but I sure did miss this board over the weekend and I have only been with the board for a week. I can imagine how you oldies feel.

I wanted share one thread of joy to the list this morning!!! I lost 6 pounds last week....my first week!!!!

viv · 03-05-2001, 09:23 AM

OK, now I have this figgered out......

Well, I have two good things to say about the snow. 1. It is covering up the dirty icy stuff we still have 2 feet of on the ground and 2.This pretty much ensures that when we leave for fla in.....18 days and 4 hours and 37 minutes there will probably stil lbe snow on the ground! Yes!

But here I am at work. DH has already been told he will be working through midnite and then staying in a hotel, so I am left to deal with my driveway alone. Hopefully on eof the lazy teens on the street will se dollar signs and help me out.

I am really sorry about the changes in the board. I do not like change! Deb, like I told you I have printed out Tips and Tools as well as I think the food info board as well as some older recipes, so let me know if you think these can help.

Still OP altho sometimes I feel like I am not being stringent enough and the bubble will burst. Clothes are feeling good and exercise is on track. Oh, I do not like the font of this new board - I have seen boards like this!

I've gotta do a few things for work - willcheck back in a bit.....

Hi everyone...
I too am disappointed about losing so much information. Those boards were like a gold mine!! It's like after a fire...you slowly start to rebuild and replace what you lost.

I noticed there are some new smilies.

Deb..why can't you cut and paste? Just b/c you can't right click and cut and paste doesn't mean you can't do it. Here's what to do...highlight the info and then use the keys "ctrl" and "c". This will copy the message. When you want to paste it use the keys "ctrl" and "v" and it will paste. There..one problem solved!!

I really missed checking the board for posts. What is that little character that is popping up on my screen? A yellow round thing with a green hat. Hmmm.

I see we can get an e-mail whenever anyone posts. Is anyone going to do this? I think I'll save some bandwidth and just check in as I usually do. Oh my! I se you can also attach a file!! I am going to try this right now. I will check back later since I'm going to be snowed in for the day (watching the Sopranos since we taped it last night!!).

First off, OVERCOME-THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my gosh, I had no idea I was able to do that to paste things into the board, so this was a great accomplishment!

As you can tell, for those of you who have already visited the board this morning, I changed my original post to put the board back to the way it should of been, and deleted my post. So, here I go again with my post.

As you can see there are a great many changes to not only our board, but all the site. I'm sorry to put a damper on things, but I'm not happy camper.

We lost all our vital and important boards.:crying: I've contacted Suzanne via e-mail to ask her if we can somehow get these boards back up-I pray she comes through for us. We all worked so hard to get this information on the boards. If I knew this was going to take place I would of at least brought these boards to the top, or copied all the info from them. Just cross your fingers she is able to get these boards back up for us.

Thanks to all of you who have sent me e-mails of reassurance, as well as you all on the board this AM-I know we will rebuild like we did before (this happened back in July when the boards were updated). I know with all your help and support we'll get this board back to it's grand glory it was before. The most important thing for me is just having you all present and accounted for.

On a more personal note, nothing new on my end, nothing much to report. My weight is still up. I'm hoping to see some loss soon, it's getting depressing to of hit 134 and then be back up for such a long time (seems long in my book). Oh well, at least I am still less than 10lbs to goal.

Anyhow, I must run, but you can be well assured I'll be back on many times today checking out all the "newness" of the board.

Good Morning... just testing ! Hopefully I will be able to post later today. Everyone is in my thoughts and prayers.

Fillise · 03-05-2001, 11:50 AM

This is my first post to the board since registering last Friday (before the big collapse). I've been following SB since July 10, 2000 and have lost 40 pounds. I got a little sloppy over the holidays--didn't abandon this WOE altogether, just let some things creep in that are not healthy. In order to get my self back on track, I've made a strict adherance to this WOE my Lenten observance. It's really helping. I feel back in the groove and when I'm tempted to do the easy thing, I remember why I'm doing this and so far so good.

I'm glad I've found this board. I've posted my bio--and enjoyed reading everyone's story!

Good Monday everyone!

didjaever · 03-05-2001, 11:59 AM

FILLISE - WELCOME, there is a really nice group of women on this board. You will enjoy it!! I have only been here myself a week!!

Congrats on the weight lose!!!!

Annette2 · 03-05-2001, 12:00 PM

Hmmm. This will take some getting used to... What were the reasons for doing this? Just curious. I will deal.

Good news: I think I am almost all better from the bronchitis... geez I thought it would never end.

Bad news: TOM and up - I am only down one pound from beginning weight now. Not sure of all the culprits, but I am going to blame TOM and sour dough bread. Back to the drawing board!

Gee Didja: Congrats on the 6 pounds! I hope I can get there soon! I have not been near as successful as you have been. But I read the book over and listened to the book on tape, so I am ready to start over!

Overcome: Go Girl - thanks for the computer hints!

Deb: Thanks for all your e-mail while the board was down. It kept me going - I think I would have said the H___ with it this weekend after the scale went up if it weren't for you! As I said above, I read the book again and am ready to start again!

Viv: Just stay inside and make a fire!!!!!! My mom (in PA) is doing that today!! It was great talking to you the other night!

For those of you who don' t know, our little Viv here is quite the Big Wig!!! She keeps these little secrets well!

Glory: Are you ok up there; Haven't seen you on here lately

Barb: Good morning!

Well, off to get some work done. Take care!

didjaever · 03-05-2001, 12:05 PM

Annette2 - I would say the sour dough bread is a HUGE interference (ah, I can smell it now). I have stuck strickly to SB in the past week, except for Ketcup. I am unable to give up my Heinz regular ketcup yet. Oh yeah, and a couple of slim fasts. I am actually surprised how I have no cravings for anything and when craving has hit I automatically picked up the fruit. I feel like someone has taken over my body....me eating fruit....hehehe

Stick with it!! You will see improvement soon!!

viv · 03-05-2001, 12:17 PM

Annette, you crack me up. Remember that was then, this is now, and I drive a minivan

I am feeling so slim today.....I hid my scale under the bed so I wouldn't be tempted to weigh every day - those little ups and downs are so annoying....

So they closed school today for nothing it seems - the snow has stopped - I know there's still some on the way but it made life so complicated!!!

I am on a bagel hunt. Everyone, tell me about your bagel experiences. If someplace has a sourdough bagel,, or pumper nickel, or rye, are those automatically legal or do I need to grill them about sugar?

I am so hungry - headed home to feed the kiddies and myself now. I am tellin gyou, if you have not tried the unsweetened carob covered nuts - DO! They are great to munch on, if you keep it under control. I used to hate carob, now I really like it, but not so much that I binge.....

Poor Deb - I think she is going to go into board withdrawal....with these changes. DEB WE'LL DO WHATEVER YOU NEED TO GET US BACK 100%%%%!!! Do ya hear me????

later gals - good news is I braved the snow and have two-almost-new clients about to join.....

And I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo looking forward to our Disney trip that I can taste it....

Hello EVERYONE!!! Gee, I'm away for a week & everything has changed!!! I logged on this am & when I got all those email messages I just knew something was not right with the world. Looks like I missed all the STRESS over the week-end, but that part was ok. LOL I have enough stress going on here as it is..LOL No kicking, glad to see that we are back in business here.

Welcome to all the newbies since I've been away.

Annette, glad to hear you're felling better too.

Debbie, HANG IN THERE!! You have done a really great job & have NOT let any of us down. We will survive this change. Thanks for the email updates while all this was going on, even if I didn't get them till it was all over...LOL
I'm at a stand still with my loosing too, but am hanging in there & definitely NOT giving up.

I have really missed all of you, but am hoping to be back on a regular basis again.

karen3000 · 03-05-2001, 03:20 PM

It's good to have posts to read again! Hope everyone had a good weekend

Can someone explain these new extra symbols? I noticed there is a key at the bottom for some, but not all. When I hold my cursor over the similey face, it says "angry."

Just got back from errands. I had to stop at K-Mart and HAD to walk down the food aisle with the nuts. Needless to say, I have overdone it on the cashew/macadamia nuts. Otherwise, it's going great!

Debbi - thanks for all the work you have done to keep these boards going. I'll keep my fingers crossed that we didn't lose anything permanently. I also edited my bio and added my e-mail address. No one really said they had noticed any more spam after putting in their bio info. I just hate all the junk I get about debt and credit and mortgages, etc. In fact, I finally started using filters and I have a folder labeled "spam" that gets 4-7 emails a day.

Have to go and get my son at school. I will check in later.

I'll try this again...got kicked off...

I was thrown by the changes, but I found you all! Eeek...I thought I was going to have to go into treatment for withdrawal!

ANNETTE - nope, didn't retire, just got burned out & quit private practice. Took a consulting job. Steady paychecks, paid vacations & holidays, no more managed care...in short, bliss!! Now I work mostly with disabled veterans in a Vocational Rehabilitation program run by the Veterans Administration. All the cool stuff of therapy without the emotional intensity or the endless horror stories.

CDM - glad you didn't quit SB! I decided to wed SB with Weight Watchers - many here have done that - and I'm finally losing!! It provided the structure I needed.

Okay, I just have to gloat!

I'm switching my weigh-in days from Wed to Mon for convenience...so I'll let ya all know....down another 3/4#!! Yippeee!!!

MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY
My motivation (hope this works - I'm trying to attach the pic) - remember that Little Black Dress I told you about? Check it out! That's all the motivation I need!

didjaever · 03-05-2001, 04:48 PM

MSLIZ - you look GREAT!! Congrats on all the weight lose. That is all the motivation I needed today!!

Now I have a confession. With all the bad weather here, I didn't feel like hunting around for a good place to get something that was almost or all SB legal, so I stopped into a checken place next to school and bought 5 chicken tenders that were dipped in white flour. I think I will live but now I am mad at myself.
