I have been sadly MIA lately, and so have a lot of other long-time poster's. Where are you guys????????????

I have been reading faithfully but just not posting a darn thing for no real reason. I promise to do better!

Come out, come out, wherever you are!

I admit to doing a bit of lurking about once or twice a week. DS fixed much of my computer but for some reason altho cookies are enabled I am having a hard time logging into anyplace. Here at 3fc's I'm able to log in, but often after posting I get the screen that I'm not logged in again. So, gets frustrating til DS gets it fixed cause I lose alot of posts.

I am alive and making it thru each day with struggles like everyone else. But keep counting the Blessings.

Ok, who's next? No more hiding my chickadees (and that means HER too! lol )

Hugs

J - now lets see if this post goes thru!

Hi ladies! I haven't posted much in the past few days.......okay week or so. No excuse.

Next.............

ok, I'll admit it, I am in a full fledged funk. I don't know where I am going or what I am doing food wise (except for eating quite a lot of it) or what I am doing or where I am going surgery wise.

I am not writing, I am not paying attention to much of anything except my kidlets and cleaning.....btw....orange oil is a pleasant thing.

Frass! Peachie, you did not use the word for which I was waiting! Dammit! I hate it when that happens!

I guess it's my turn........... I've been in a serious funk... I've not missed all your posts, I've been a big-time lurker, but I haven't felt able to post.... with so many of you "rededicating" to induction and SB, etc etc etc.......... I feel like a VERY FLUFFY granny............. <sigh> - I'll try to do better...... however, i'm going to dd's tomorrow for overnight, so I may not get back here after the morning until Saturday.......... (does that count as another "skip"?)

BTW, thanks, Sherrie, Deb, Janice, and Peachie for not making me be all alone here in lurkdom!!

Me too, me too, me too!!!

I am a lurker too. I faithfully read here EVERY morning with my coffee, then come back later to check for updates.

IMHO, no one should feel funky, down, guilty, depressed, etc. because there are chicks here that are OP and losing and we are not. It is just not our time right now. It has been our time in the past and it WILL be our time again in the future but right now we are just not there. The fact that we lurk here is a good sign that we DO know what to do and we will do it when we are ready.

I, for one, have really come to care about quite a few these very fine women and I rejoice with them, cry with them, pray with them, laugh with them, rant with them. They are a part of my day that I would miss greatly if I didn't check in here often.

Kel, you go! I think some of what I'm hiding is ENVY that everyone seems so dedicated and I'm so, well, NOT! The thing is, we are friends here, and we need each other! Besides, my time is coming soon, and I hope yours is too!

and i'm sitting here at this hateful job eating pretzels <???>

Well it could be worse, Jiff! Hang in there, sweetie!

I'm out of the woodwork as well! I agree with Jenny...when I am posting and participating, I do better. I haven't been posting here much lately, but I have spent a load of time getting the recipe exchanges moving along. Somehow that kept me active enough while I bit down and de-carbed. However, trading recipes won't keep me in line, but these threads will!

For those of you who are discouraged, don't be. Something is going to click inside of you that will lead you on your weight loss path. Stay here, stay talking, maybe you will find it sooner! Dig down deep, it is there. You can find it! I am back on low carb as of April. The first two weeks sucked. I had major carb withdrawals, and I kept cheating. It got easier though and now I have a goal meal coming up and I don't want to blow it! Hopefully I will stay on track, as long as I keep up with you guys.

If you aren't sticking to plan, it isn't too late to recommit! Heaven knows I've done it many times. I do feel like this time is 'it'. I hope you get that feeling soon too!

Jennifer so nice to see you again! How's life and stuff? ((HUGS))

Can you let me come back also? I started posting here, a little bit ago, but then life happened! You know how that goes! I have been to other boards, and I must say......this one is the most supportive and the friendliest!!!!!


I am just in a flunky funny funk...and I have been wallowing in a wonderful self-pity party WAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Can I join back in....sheesh I don't even know where I belong anymore!

Did I say that I was also in a funk?!?

Anyone need a friend??? I need one!!!!!

Okay, back to your regularly scheduled program.

Caroline

I'm glad to see all of your posting again, I've been pretty much of a lurcker latedly too, but just because my life is so boring that I've had nothing to say!!!

I started the South Beach diet two weeks ago and it's going okay, I'm still going to the health club and doing water aerobics and my mom and I have started walking at the outside track. Other than that it's the SSDD!
