Congrats to all the "losses"...

and Sending HUGS and PRAYERS to Erin...(replying to yesterdays post)

I have to share- with my 15 lb loss so far I was able to fit into a long skirt that I LOVE, that was hanging in the back of my closet..! I wore it to an American Girl Doll Tea today, held in town here. I was asked to style the 'dolls' hair. I brought $30 worth of small colorful hair accessories and styled 32 dolls in 3 hrs! Some 'little ones' got a braid or two in their hair to match their dolls. It was so much fun!! I took pics of the dolls only, and hope to upload them tommorrow morning before work on my picturetrail acct for all to view.
I can't believe how much prettier I feel with losing this weight!!! : )

Maybe we should THREADS like this-do a 4 day sunday thru wed thread and 3 day thursday thru saturday thread... ideas???

HOPEFULTRICIA - I posted to you on yesterdays thread because it wasn't closed. I don't know how to do it.

EVERYONE - Can't we go back to Monday - Friday Thread and a Saturday & Sunday? I feel like we're losing posts with daily threads.

i agree, a weekday and weekend thread are much easier for us memebers to handle. would there be any opposition in me making a weekday thread for aug 16th-20th right now? well, i'm going to anyways;)

Hey Everyone!

We can see how Ruth and Leenie, our moderators, respond to a 2 thread a week idea. HOWEVER, we have been asked SEVERAL times on this forum to switch to daily threads. I have also been asked to switch us to daily threads in PM from Ruth. Given these ladies are monitoring threads for multiple diet forums and they have a job they are trying to do, just my humble opinion, but I think it would be nice if we could support them. We don't get to see what happens in the administrative side of things. Also, they recognize many people are still connecting by dial up and the longer threads make things slower for people to open and participate in.

I know it is a bit uncomfortable to get use to this format. It was just as hard to go from a general thread to a monthly thread. Then we went through it again when we went from a monthly thread to a weekly thread. All of that has happened in the last 9 months. We WILL have to go to a daily thread soon. There is no way around it. We are fortunate to have a large amount of participation and a growing group. We have had some weekends get nearly 300 posts in 2 days! We are one of the more active threads on this forum! With the way we have grown just this summer, We really need to get it set up in the final stage, daily threads, and stick with it.

I am sorry if that seems a downer or a bit "bossy" for some. No one, not even the moderators, want to be a "heavy" on the topic. But, I have it on great authority that it HAS to be done and the sooner the better.

Thank you for continuing to try and to support what our WONDERFUL, HELPFUL moderators and administrators need to keep this support and helpful space available and functional for all of us and all who come.

:)

All of the above was said with the kindest of thoughts and feeling and I hope I haven't hurt or offended anyone! :hug: If I have please feel free to send me PM. I am truly sorry if it happened as it was not the intention.
