Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / August 2006Hi to all
I haven't been here in ages, and I'm sort of surprised how few of the "old" faces are still around. Where did they all go? It does seem like the atmosphere of this place has changed a fair amount, but I suppose it's to be expected. In any case, greetings to you newer people--it's nice to "meet" you! And hi, too, to all you oldbies. For those who don't know me, I was here a few years ago, lost 70 pounds with the support of the fine people here at alt.support.diet, and kept it off for two years. Then, because of several things not worth detailing, I slowly started to gain much of the weight back. I've made a few life changes (or should I say "WOL" changes?) very recently, and weight is beginning to come off...so, being the creature of opportunity that I am, I thought I'd go with it. I haven't lost much yet, maybe 4 pounds, but so far it's coming off slowly but steadily. So I've set a first goal for myself, what I think is a doable one, to lose another 10 pounds to fit into my last years' late fall and winter clothes. I'm not going to do severe calorie restriction for now (which is how I lost the weight before), just watch what I eat and drink, and see where that takes me. After I've lost the 10 pounds, I'll assess from there just how much work I want to put into weight loss and how far I want to take it. It would be nice to get down to within 15 or 20 pounds of my lowest weight, but I don't know yet if I'm going to try to make that happen. Anyway, you may see me around...I just wanted to introduce myself to those who don't know me and say "hi" to those who do. Thanks. beeswing Good to hear from you even if it is to get back to weight loss. There are still quite a few of the familiar faces around. I think you've chosen a very sensible approach to getting back to goal. I never seem to hit the 140 mark lately but have been hanging around 141-142 with a big reduction in body fat % lately. I think that's from all the biking I've been doing this summer. Hope to see you posting often.

It's great you've been able to keep your weight so close to goal and that you're doing so much biking. I haven't gotten my bike out this summer, which is really a pity. It was easier to wrap my mind around biking when I was lighter, not that that's any excuse. I don't know yet if I'll be posting much or primarily lurking. But I did want to stick my head in. Thanks for the nice welcome back. beeswing > x-no-archive: yes > Anyway, you may see me around...I just wanted to introduce myself to > those who don't know me and say "hi" to those who do. Hey bees - welcome back. BTW, the other group is getting active again too (email if you can't remember what I'm referring to).

I checked in to the other group...but there didn't seem to be much weight loss talk going on.... :) Maybe I should drop in, though, and say hi sometime. beeswing > x-no-archive: yes > [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > > beeswing Hi beeswing! I am "the poster formerly known as determined", back when you were posting before. I am back here too only recently, after having a baby in december. Glad to see an "oldtimer" around again. There are a couple of us posting under new names. you might pick up on it...;-) > Hi beeswing! I am "the poster formerly known as determined", back when you > were posting before.

There are a couple of > us posting under new names. you might pick up on it...;-) Oh, so you're *you* only under a new name. I get it, now. :) Who else is hiding out on me *looks around*? I'm glad to see a familiar face. Congrats your new baby; how wonderful. Boy or girl? I'm so very happy for you! (My "baby" will be 12 in December...that's certainly hard to believe....) beeswing > x-no-archive: yes > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > beeswing I had a girl - Emily.

Pretty name. And that *is* a big age difference.

Meanwhile, let's look at your accomplishments: sock puppet who was too easily busted - how sad is that. People who have to create other identities just to have friends, pathetic really. > :: There are a couple of us posting under new names > > Obviously fake and invalid email addresses.

It's nice to see you again! beeswing Hey Beeswing, I'm an oldie, but not active. (also my screen name has changed, but I'm the Floridian of the group. :) I'll pop my head in here from time to time and if you are around again, I'll be sure to read and post. > Hey Beeswing, Hey to you too, Beeswing. I've been hanging out with absurdly athletic people over in Beginner Triathlete and have nearly left usenet for LiveJournal, but I still read and post daily when I'm not on vacation. I lost 80 pounds and fight tooth and nail to keep the last five pounds off. So far it's never gone much past that in terms of regaining, but it could happen easily with just one crisis of some sort or another. > I'm an oldie, but not active.

Dally 244/170-ish?/155 > LFM, are you someone I'd bike ride with around your town's canals? (If > so, I hadn't caught your name change!) Yes Dally, that would be me! I just showed DH your pic you posted the link to not too long ago, and I replied to that post stating that he's AMAZED at how great you look. Never would have thought it was you - but he also didn't see you the last time you were here - he only remembers the first time. > > Hey Beeswing, > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > Dally > 244/170-ish?/155 Hey, Dally, I'd wondered where you disappeared to! Congrats on the 80 pounds and the ability to keep it off. And kewl that you're having fun hanging out with the athletes. :) It's good to see you and I hope you do post. beeswing > Hey Beeswing, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > I'll pop my head in here from time to time and if you are around again, I'll > be sure to read and post. I *think* I know who you are, but I'm hesistant to guess in case I'm wrong. If I'm right, your initials changed. :) beeswing yes you are correct - my initial changed, in more ways than one, really. It was 2.5yrs ago I ran off and got married to the long time SO. and if you take the hint from another poster about checking the other group, you'd know exactly who I am. :) >yes you are correct - my initial changed, in more ways than one, really. It >was 2.5yrs ago I ran off and got married to the long time SO. > >and if you take the hint from another poster about checking the other group, >you'd know exactly who I am. :) LOL - I think I'm just falling in too.

I don't know you but welcome back! :o) LW Re-Start - 7/5/06 - 170lbs Today - 155.5 lbs Goal - 130 lbs Height: 5'6" Female. Age: 61 Don't worry about what people think, they don't do it very often. =================================== > > I haven't been here in ages, and I'm sort of surprised how few of the > > "old" faces are still around.

By the way, I was reading this group the other day with my 11 YO daughter in the room; we both enjoyed your sig quote. :) And congrats on the progress of your weight loss. It looks like you are doing great! beeswing >x-no-archive: yes > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >it's to be expected. In any case, greetings to you newer people--it's >nice to "meet" you! And hi, too, to all you oldbies. Hi Beeswing. I'm still around - good to see you posting here. You were successful at losing before, so using what you've already learned I'm sure you'll do it again. Hope to see more posts from you. janice > Hi Beeswing. I'm still around - good to see you posting here. You > were successful at losing before, so using what you've already learned [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > janice Thanks, janice! It's good to see you again. And thanks for the support. I have to sneak this in...As of this morning, I'm down 1.8 of the 10 pounds I've set my first goal at, so I'm encouraged. I think I *can* do it, again. Though the first several pounds are always the easiest, as I remember. Glad to be back, but not glad to need to be...if ya know I mean. beeswing Welcome back, beeswing! I'm not sure if I was around when you were posting (I started around fall 2004), but nevertheless it's good to see you're back on the health train! Choo choo! That was corny. Anyway, I am in a similar situation as you are --I lost quite a bit of weight doing a very low, restrictive calorie diet and unfortunately I think it messed with my natural hunger signals. I gained most of my weight back (plus interesting and now I'm trying to get over binge-eating by eating healthier, exercising, and the like. Hope to see more of you around!
