We did start a group. What type of information are we supposed put in new thread? We were just trying to find a place so we could stay together and find each other more easily. We didn't mean to scare, offend, or break into you house.
Wow. That's what I get for trying to be helpful. :indifferent:0 -
I don't mean to be snarky. I am serious what other info should we give to identify ourselves?0

Do you mean just make a post here? Or put it in the title? I know you didn't say we scared you but any idea how we scared people?0

I'd put in the title, "For new NS Members to MFP"....just make sure it doesn't sound too much like an advertisement otherwise people might think it's spam.
In regards to "scaring" people...I'd more say they were concerned. There are times the MFP forums get bombarded with people selling products or/and services (like beachbody shakes, for example) so when the community sees something being coined and pushed out (like the term Restarters), they get a bit :huh: and they'll ask and probably joke about as well.0 -
We truly didn't realize we were doing it wrong. When asked who we were I said we were dieters. But that was in response, to a question about our religion. That is why I came across as snarky. We thought he (or she) was trolling us. I'm sorry if I offended you. We felt a little like we were being attacked but not by you.0

Thanks, we don't want to sound like were selling something and I completely understand about keeping this a product-free zone. No inside joke meant, and we did want to become a part of the community... that's why it was started in the public forums. I appreciate the explanation and we'll do our best to make sure it doesn't happen again. I think you can understand what would happen if someone announced they were shutting down MFP in a few days... we're just trying to fit in as best we can. Probably not a way to re-name this thread, is there?0 -

Unfortunately, no, not outside the editing time frame. (Then again, with the changes, not sure if you are still able to rename threads anymore)
I'd just let the thread die out, basically, and I'd wait a day before making a new thread with the link to the group available.0 -
Thanks again... we'll do that.0

Wow. Someone asked a question and I tried to help out since you guys hadn't given an answer yet. I'll stay away from you NSers from now on.
If that person had of read the posts back in history a bit they would have had the answer to which they asked since NS was all thru the posts...
I apologize for sounding snippy tho...:) I was driving and couldn't get back till now0 -
We've got a group already and an identical thread title. We will vacate your living room.... Lol0

Hi everybody! Found you! It took some doing for sure. I went to nutribuddies thru the quick link on someones post on the NS discussion boards - I tried to join but got nothing in return unless maybe there is a day(s) wait? Went back a couple of more times to the old NS boards - said you were under motivation and support - then on and on until FINALLY- Through various directions and over the joining speed bumps of joining and reporting I am currently also on the facebook site, the "pro-boards" nutrisystem refugees site, and the nuMi. Of these that I got onto an hour ago looked promising too - similar to this site, I guess; but you guy's weren't there A special thanks to Andrea and Rose for your messages in my N.S. inbox. Tricky to get to the old board too. Does all my efforts to find you guys count as due penance, whew Now I feel scattered all over the place- backwards from simplifying! I a little bit cursed with being overly thorough. In an effort to overcome that a bit, I think should drop the facebook and ns refugee sites off my bookmarks. Any thoughts on the other places that might help me out with the obsessive part of me? ( No it is not obsessive-compulsive, and no I'm not at a clinical level ) But, I do need more smiley face options Hey,what was that pop up when I put in my own smiley face symbol (of which I know only a few, but do have a print out on them laying about somewhere, I think). I have been so off program for so long now, so I'm back to being miserable about my weight - angry, sad, disappointed.... Sorry, no more downer typing here. I am happy to have found you guys. Don't plan on posting often and hopefully not sooo much! But, will be keeping an eye on you guys. Hey, btw, our principal from hell moved up to the high school! Thank you, God. Claims it was by choice, I doubt it. While I am one of the more sensitive of staff members and one of her favorites to bully, all my teacher co-worker friends also received hurts from her. The new principal struck me as a softer person. Everyone is hopeful. I hope to regain my sense of not minding going to work. TT Y'all L. (P.S. not editing this )0

Ken, enjoying your graphic inputs. Thanks for the smiles! Is there an easy way to put pics from the net in?0

How can I get here quickly vs looking down recent posts/discussion board lists? I am going to try taking of the last two things of(#latest) on the address above and see how that works. I also just star bkmrked. this site and clicked on "mark catagory viewed" under the account options above.0

Hope this works.
WHOO HOO I hit the edit thing and it worked! I was concerned. I read all the previous posts here to catch up. If I am understanding correctly my posts will be here forever or at least until a major solar flare takes down the grid; but, this vip (very important post) would probably still be resurrected. Or maybe the receding o-zone layer resulting in global warming and therefore the demise of polar ice caps which in turn could result (as shown in previous history and supported by physics) an ice age. Now, just to be clear let me tie this into WEIGHT LOSS, which is what this thread is all about. Such events would cause weight loss. Peace out0 -
I have trouble finding my posts too.0

I got banned from Proboards because I dared question the wisdom of admin about sending out spam messages.....
they called it disrespecting the admin?.....and they did not have the manners to email me or even make it just a suspension for a duration of time....very unprofessionally ran...oh well0 -
