I hope you won't be upset I started a new thread just to say "hi"! I wanted to just fill out the info in the bios section- but wasn't sure how to do it (sorry, not the most computer literate person!) If someone would be willing to tell me how- I will do it.
I really love the name of your group- I thought I was a pretty Jaded Lady before- but now I know for sure. I'd like to share this with you: I've been looking for a support group since I'm doing my weight loss on my own. Well, I'd lurked around here at 3 Fat Chicks- but it seemed that alot of the chat was about WW or low-carb- I was looking for something more general. I found another board that looked as though it might work. I mentioned that I am using Slimfast and I got alot of questions and comments from others about that. I responded to those people with information from my experience. I was then BLASTED by a bunch of others saying that I must be advertising Slimfast and they proceeded to say all kinds of nasty things about it and the way I answered people. I wish I'd never even mentioned the Slimfast! It's really not the most important part of what I've been doing, anyway. Everyone seemed to miss the points where I had said that in the statements I made.
So, here I am, girls, looking for a non-judgemental and friendly place to talk about the thing we are all trying to do, however we are doing it.
I have my good days and bad days, and would like to have the chance to share those with someone who understands.
So that's it- I hope you'll be nice to me- my feelings are pretty bruised!
Thanks- Barb
And I think if the method someone is using is working---well I applaud you!!
