We are missing a bunch of old timers, her anniversary was up on the 8th of Feb. Anyone know if she is okay. UpNorthGuy???? I hope all is well with everyone we have not seen in a while.
Hugs!

Haven't heard from her. Like you, I've been missing a lot of the folks who were really active here when I joined early last summer. Where is everyone? I hope they are all having great success...

I haven't seen her and have been thinking about her... I saw UpNorthGuy on here the other day so I know he's around... at least on the advice area.

Miss 'em... Especially since it seems that once people who hit maintanence seem to not be as active. Oddly enough, we know how we really need each other to get over the initial hurdles but truthfully I'm thinking it's the maintanence area that we really need each other for or at least I will since this is really (my opinion) where the real work begins for some of us like myself!

How's it going for you Lilith? Great to see you :) What's working for you these days?

Thanks for your replies so far! Hi Colleen, you look great! Well, I am almost up on my year, March 1st, I am down a whopping 130 lbs since my very start. I could not be more thrilled. My nutritionist is a little concerned that I am a bit too thin...imagine that...lol never would I have thought that could happen. I am tall, and bones are sticking out everywhere. I am doing my best at eating. I am really and truly not hungry ever. But I have to eat to live.
I will put up new pics on my anniversary day!
Hugs to you all!

Its tough when you hit maintenance...Alot of the questions and posts u see are people seeking info that you've bypassed months ago and shared 25 times with 25 different people...then the newer folks are answering the questions....so you are not really "needed" as much anymore.
Its tough though....stay away from your supports for too long and old habits start sneaking in..eek...I hate that when it happens.
Its good to know that when u come back here the group is still moving and the information flowing.
When u go offline for a little while and come back to see heaps of new faces/names...it makes u feel a little akward even on the other end of it...cause commenting as a "stranger" as opposed to a "regular" feels different.
Ahh now i'm just ramblin...but i sure get what you ladies are saying..>If CrystalK and the rest are out there...Hope your doing awesome....
