Need to Lose 100 LBS -Robins Thread !

RobinsEgg

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to our discussion. We are a great community - both men and women
- and provide excellent support and motivation for your personal weight
loss journey.

This is not a group. This is an ongoing discussion of support and motivation and you can easily participate. There is no "joining" to do. Just post a comment! happy That's all it takes. Go to the last - most current page (600 and counting)and write a comment - whatever you feel like saying, and click the REPLY button. You will be welcomed by other people posting and hopefully you will return often. I try to send a welcoming message within a week of your first post.

After posting, you can find your way back by checking your "COMMUNITY"
tab, then on the "MY DISCUSSIONS" listing, and all the DISCUSSIONS you
have posted to will show up. If you click on the STAR to the right of the
DISCUSSIONS, that selects them as your favorites. Then you can click on
the Titles of the DISCUSSIONS and doing that will return you to the most
current posting on the DISCUSSIONS thread.


GOALS and IDEAS for daily posts (Not mandatory)

Monday - Check In (how are you doing? Had any successes or struggles this week-end?)

Tuesday - Goals (do you have any Goals you want to update us?)

Wednesday - Wishes (what do you wish? It can be weight related or not, can be realistic or not)

Thursday - Truth (got anything you need to fess up to or get off your chest?)

Friday - Fitness (what are you doing to get fit? How are you preparing for weekend eating?

Saturday - Success (what have you accomplished; focus on the positive of the week, NSV=non scale victories)

Sunday - Sharing (tell us a little about yourself....update your personal life)


Welcome to each and every one of you as you start this journey - Robin

Got it. Thought I'd been thrown in the deep end and couldn't swim there for a little while!! Didn't want to lose you guys.

Long may we prosper.

I am so frustrated. I can only allowed to send 5 PM's every 10 minutes - at that rate it will take me forever to contact everyone in the group. Any volunteers? I've contacted Karenleona, Patty Nava, Toots Anderson, you guys, LaurieK, Naceto, Heather Ryan.

You could just cut and paste the message I sent you and say you're forwarding it for me pretty please? :sad:

NAcetoLang

I will tell them to forward on as well. We'll get them all YOU are such a trooper, Robin!:flowerforyou:

RobinsEgg

Lauriek70

Hi Thanks for the heads up. I will find a few more members as well. Will post when I check my friends list.

That moderator was not very nice.

I am surprised it was a problem.

Robin- Thanks for starting this thread again. Long may it live.

Starting on page 11: regojess, ravenlaramie, allyjoy83, Annie 219, Cia_Clayton, Linder 4866, Big Aug

RobinsEgg

I'll jump to page 10 then thanks laurie ................

susan2396

I found it too. I've been on 2 weeks now and slowly learning names and stories. I know it gets tough as people jump on and off, but we're also looking for those people who are going to be steady and support us along the way. You understand the struggles of losing 100+. We're all in the same boat and have different circumstances. I'm so thankful for Robin though and her willingness to coordinate. Thank you!!!!

I did not understand the comment that the moderator made before the thread was locked down so I am grateful that Robin messaged me.
glad to see it will be continuing

MFP Management is working on putting a link in the locked thread so people can find this thread. Oh boy, I really stepped into it when I decided to put that CLOSED statement at the top of the thread. Someone complained and all H-E-L-L broke loose. The mngmt was very polite about it in their PM to me, but their action was very swift! I am also not to use the term Moderator, since I am not an official one. So I am now your humble facilitator. :laugh:

a link would be helpful cause i went back to the thread and it was just locked with no info on why or where to go after
i beleive the thread had been closed before and there was no problem but i can see the point now that i have figured out the difference between forums and groups.....i am a bit slow on the uptake some days :bigsmile:

vickimieth

ok, so occasionally MFP admin can be sticks-in-the-mud.
Thanks for getting the word out, Robin!

Lauriek70

Update on my progress for getting the word out/

Working on page 11: Messages sent to rejojess, ravenlaramie, allyjoy83, Annie, Cia_clayton, Big Aug, Falcom, trmjnnmin, mjsylva, vinsonh42, tekavincent, monachris.

Once the 10 minutes are expired I will send to beachgirl 613, alley kat 69, uskhii, doomcakes and krisslim.

I did have a good night rock climbing but my arms are tired.

PAGE 10 DONE:bigsmile:

tootsanderson

oh good grief. what was that chick's problem? she couldn't stand not being welcomed to a group she's very unlikely to be welcomed into anyway based on her behavior? wth? anyway, whatever. i'm terrible remembering names but if you give me some peeps to contact i will pm them

RobinsEgg

Laurie - thanks - I got pg. 9 done - will go for page 8. Thanks for listing names so I dont repeat. Here's who I got:

Taratruex

What happened?! I'm on vacation so I'm on my phone.

parias1126

I'm a bit confused. Is this a thread to make a group for people who need to lose over 100 lbs.? If so, I would love to be apart of it!

Hyzaarc

Just got the email on my phone, Hadn't paid much attention lately to the boards except at 3AM when I'm "Bored" and by that I mean having a case of insomnia.

Good to know that the thread is available now.

Lauriek70

Robin will go to page 7 thanks for the names so I don't repeat either.

Toots do you want page 6

vinsonh42

Thank you Robin and Laurie for letting me know. Glad I got the email to my phone letting me know that I had messages on here.

lizmil79

It's very late. Why don't we just close the group? I loved that it was open but sometimes...

Hi - this is a thread - not a group - anyone is welcome to make comments - you are welcome to participate. Most people here have 100 lbs or more to lose and the first post at the top of Page One are guidelines to follow for each day of the week, if you are unsure what to post about.

RobinsEgg

Update on names I've done Hyzaarc, DoomCakes, trhjr06, Monarchris, OperationNorm, Beachgirl613, Believe1213, Vanimelda, LMZimmer.

BigAug - you think you're tired of this! :grumble: I have done this for 2 years now. I would go to a Group format but YOUSE PEOPLE leave me!!!! I need fresh blood every once in a while!!! :smokin:

Lauriek70

Robin you are fast with the emails.

I just sent Heather Ryan, Lizmil, vickimieth, Janak2004, tungstem93m Beieve 1213, tbrp and vanimelda.

AngelikaLumiere

RobinsEgg

LOL - I am fast. I'm gonna take a little break for now. Be back in 10 minutes.

ravenlaramie

Markin my place here for future reference. Feeling like crap at the moment though so I'm probably going to crash. If I'm up and about tomorrow and more pms need to be sent out, I'll be happy to help out.
