New OA private group

GrokRockStar

I know some of you have stated an interest. I have created a private group and I'm soliciting interest.
Any outsiders can only view the group game, but not the content. Anonymity is important to many of you, so please send me a private message if you prefer not to post interest here. Once that occurs, I will send you an invite. And remember, this is a safe zone for you to speak freely, without judgement.
The only requirement to join is your participation, without it, the group would not function properly. Once you join, please introduce yourself.

Thanks,

barbiecat

I would love to be part of a private OA group and would participate in discussion

Hi barbiecat, invite sent!

GrokRockStar

I've sent invite to all of you who are interested, but it appears the invite didn't make it your way. Here is the link to the forum: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/101992-overeaters-anonymous

In the mean time, I've contacted tech support.

Gamliela

I tried the link, hope it works! see you there.

GrokRockStar

Some have expressed that they haven't received an invite. Here is what I received from tech support:

"Please note that invitations to groups don’t currently show up in your main MyFitnessPal notifications, but in the community specific notifications located under the bell icon on the community pages."

@cloudi2 let me know if it works out!

MichelleOnWheels

I accepted the invitation, but still don't see the group. Will you send another one?

MSWDiet

A PRIVATE GROUP BASED ON OA PRINCIPLES IS A GREAT IDEA. PLEASE INCLUDE ME; AND IF YOU PLEASE, ADD ME AS A FRIEND. HOPEFULLY THE GROUP WILL BE ACTIVE ENOUGH FOR EACH OF US TO PROVIDE AND RECEIVE SUPPORT AS NEEDED.

I NOTED COMMENTS ON OTHER THREADS ABOUT OA INSPIRED GROUPS DISINTEGRATING INTO DIET ADVICE AND OPINIONS. WE HAVE PLENTY OF THIS ON MFP ALREADY. WHILE I RESPECT THE DESIRE FOR ANONYMITY, THE BENEFIT I LOOK FORWARD TO IS A PLACE TO SHARE OPENLY WITH THOSE FACING THEIR OWN EXPERIENCES WITH COMPULSIVE OVER EATING.

THANKS FOR PROVIDING A SAFE HAVEN FOR COE.

NO, I'M NOT YELLING AT YOU... I'M JUST HARD OF SEEING

Oh, that's why I didn't see the invite!! I made the mistake of commenting on two really popular threads (the NSV and drop a word, add a word) and now those notifications clog everything up so I don't see the real stuff I want to see. Does anyone know if there is a way to "unsubsribe to a specific thread?

Could you go back and delete your original post? Otherwise, I'm not sure if you can unsubscribe to a particular thread.

@michellesem, yes, I'll send one now.

GrokRockStar

@MSWdi, I'll send an invite, and the group is pretty active!

sanddollar

I didn't see how to delete my original post, however, I clicked on the settings for the "chit chat" section and I am not following that section anymore (since that's where most of the notifications were coming from). Yay!!

Thanks,

Id love to be apart of the private OA group. Im a new member to this group, but nor to OA. I was a member of An OA group for many years. Not recent years. Thank you.

GrokRockStar

@rosebod, I forward an invite!

fatdragons

I would love to be part of the private OA group as well. I'm finding it difficult to attend the local meeting each week due to it's time and my /my children schedules. Thank you!!

GrokRockStar

@fatdragons, I forwarded an invite.

linder4866

I've been looking for a group like this. I'm not well acquainted with OA---have looked for a local group to attend and haven't been able to locate one. May I ask to join?

sebedina

Please could I have an invitation to this group? I am really in need of the support as I am off the rails at the moment.

GrokRockStar

Hi @sebedina,
I sent you an invite. You should be able to accept by clicking on the bell icon on the top right of your page. Otherwise, visit this link:

http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/101992-overeaters-anonymous and click on the "Join This Group" button

See you there!

frustr8tedgal

Me too, please!

GrokRockStar

Sure I'll add you! You may also visit this link: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/101992-overeaters-anonymous
The group is pretty interactive as we are working on the steps (soon to be moving to step 4), discussing OA topics, challenges, and regular check-ins, and also providing OA related events that may be of interest.

GrokRockStar

Just FYI, the other OA private group has changed to One Day at a Time (ODAT) to provide a broader focus of support whether in a recovery program or not. We still have a lot of OA tools as well. Here is the updated link:

MDAPebbles67

I would also like an invite. Thanks.

MDAPebbles67

Ah, now I see that this invite was from a year ago.

GrokRockStar

The group is still active!

moe0303

FYI, we have now started a daily meeting thread in the ODAT group. These are simply threads which try to follow a normal meeting format. A reading will be selected and posted and members will share on that topic.
