    Hello there. Feel free to comment any questions you might have.

    It's cool that you care about others - good on you!

    My question: How did you select you avatar? Is it a sketch of you? I love the colors in it, BTW...

    My next "journey" is to Mississippi tomorrow. I have to take United and then I will be driving around in what is probably the middle of nowhere. What should I eat? Do you think it is realistic to think I will find somewhere to take a break and get a run in, or should I just try to fit in some walking?

    If you're taking United, you may indeed get your run in! :mrgreen:

    I log my United flights as "Boxing Bootcamp". I subtract off time for layovers and time spent at the airport cantinas drinking margaritas. Calories in margaritas I log as "electrolyte replenishment drink"

    This is some brilliant thinking. I will be over here regretting my choice of airline.

    Sloth, I like the way you think! Does this electrolyte replenishment drink have a salt rim? So it serves a purpose then. I'll take two!!

    My shoe size has now shrunk to a 7.5. Lol

    my question is why did you make this offer and then never come back??

    The people. I thought the community would actually ask me about myself, instead of just instigate conflict. Im pretty much done with this community.

    Why didn't you start a post telling people about yourself if that's what you wanted to do? That's what most people do.

    People like it when you make the conversation about them. To have people talking about themselves and they feel like someone is listening. I dont wanna talk about my self unless im asked. But will gladly share any info they desire. In all fairness im not good at posting forums. But i definitely take this as a learning experience.

    You provided absolutely no information about yourself in your original post on which anyone would base a question, other than you seem to think you're qualified to help us somehow. Most of the early posts were either questions about what makes you qualified ("asking you about yourself") or questions about what you thought about various approaches to weight loss that are advocated all over the Internet (thus, inviting you to live up to your promise to "help"). You provided no response to any of those questions. I don't see where you have any justification for getting bent out of shape and doing a rage quit, but in any case, given the content of your three-post career in the forums, I doubt anyone will miss you.

    Doesn't bother me. Have a good day.

    Why would we? You didn't provide anything for us to ask about ... except about your qualifications ... which you've never provided us.

    Here's a tip ... forums are like conversations. You post something, people respond, you reply to them. If you wait days and/or never reply, people lose interest.

    If you genuinely want to help, simply dive in on any of the (many!) currently existing threads where people are already asking for help. That's the best way to make a difference. :)

    pretty sure people did ask about you - they asked what are your qualifications to help others?? I guess that wasn't the question you were hoping for??
