 Quote From: mistybug1 Is this board indeed closing? I discovered it about 2 weeks ago but have had a tough time getting my membership verified. I'm 36 and for the first time feeling that I'm reaching a crisis stage over my health to a point that I feel compelled to reach out for help. I've never asked for help before but not sure where to start with improving my life and my presence in it. This board seems most geared toward my particular problems and I really hope it will stay...more later if I find that I should post here or could be recommended to another board possibly. Thanks, Misty C. Welcome Misty!
I'm glad you found this board. The only reason it would be deleted is if no one posts for more than 2 weeks. I guess I get discouraged when I see that the old regulars are not posting, and there seems to be few newcomers.
This board over the last 2 years has seen so much progress in so many people that you wouldn't believe it (unless you went back and read the archives). There have been people just like you who have had terrible health problems coming in - who thought there was no hope - but with the love and support and common sense of board members have lost hundreds of pounds, found lives that they had only dreams of living and have improved their health beyond their wildest dreams. I'm one of those people.
At one point we had such lively and educational discussions that it was as if we were on fire. I miss that. If you would like to stick around perhaps we can get going again with the help of all the rest of us who post once in a while. We used to have monthly challenges which were sometimes very good. I stopped that after we dwindled earlier this summer.
I hope you choose to join in and I'm looking forward to getting to know you better. There is hope for you and I promise you that if you choose to never give up on yourself - and you choose to never let those negative thoughts get the best of you, you will indeed improve your health! I will be here as long as you need the support and along with all the others we can help you in the ways you need. Just let us know.
I have fibromyalgia, diabetes and several other health difficulties that make loosing weight difficult. For the last few months I have (for the first time in a year and a half) have been gaining weight again due to hormone irregularities (middle age). But after seeing my Dr. and getting things straightened out somewhat, I have lost 2 and 1/2 pounds in the last 2 weeks. That is so much better that what I have been doing lately that I'm thrilled.
Take Care, Karen |
