I was here about 6 months ago, but didn't commit to reading the board regularly and eventually I fell off my program and gained back all of the weight I lost.

I've been reading through the posts on and off today, trying to get a handle on who is here and how they are doing. This is just such a friendly board, but it's so hard to get to know people when you're the new kid on the block. It seems to take so long to get to know someone's personality just from scattered posts here and there. Oh well, I'll get the hang of it eventually.

Looking forward to making some new friends!

Welcome back... And congrats on having the moxy to keep at it.

I so remember you, but it can't have been six months, can it? Anyway, welcome back - and we look forward to hearing more from you!

I'm realitively new and I've found that it hasn't taken too long to make a presence. Not that everyone on the board here knows me or anything, but it really helps to join a "club". I post pretty regularly in the Accountability thread each week and it's helped me focus on a few members to really get to know, which is a lot less overwhelming th an starting with EVERYONE.

Hi, I'm so glad you've found your way back here. This is a very active, busy place. Don't worry about not knowing everyone and everything. Read away, post when ever you can and you'll get right into the swing of things. I have no doubt you'll be feeling right at home very, very soon. This really is a fantastic, supportive, informative, friendly motivating and encouraging group. Good luck to you.

HI Missy!!! I am glad you came back and please stick around!!!!

Hi there, Missy I have only been here a week, and the names are just starting to get familiar when I read the posts. I have found the threads that really helped me get going and am posting there regularly. Stick around and focus on your own program, and you'll get to know people in time. Just figure out what you want to do..and start doing it. If I can do it, you can...I have faith in ya!

Hi Missy, I know what you mean. It's such a big forum and can feel overwhelming trying to figure out how to fit in. I am new myself and not big on posting, so I am just concentrating on reading as much as I can every day to keep my focus on getting healthy this time.

Welcome from the new kid on the other side of the block

^^ back! Looking forward to seeing you post more & getting to know you, too

Hey Missy, welcome back. I'm glad you decided to give it another go.That's the cool thing, huh, I was gone for years and come back and everyone was just as friendly as before.

Hi Missy! I'm glad you decided to come back. It does take a while to get to know everyone, but please come "chat" some each day and let us get to know you. Visiting here everyday does help to keep us motivated and encouraged.

Hi Missy! I'm new myself, but am glad to meet another motivating sister

WELCOME BACK!!!!!!!!! It can take some time but just like weight loss, get to know us ONE DAY AT A TIME!!!!!11 If you need someone to talk to PM me.....

HI & Welcome Back!!! this IS a really fun board, and I give it a lot of credit with the (small) success i've had thus far! Just to check in every day, it puts the "seed" in your head to be a good girl

Looking forward to getting to know you! I think I saw you on the Accountability thread too... I think!
Have fun and post as often as you can!
