A NOTE FOR NEWBIES
Welcome to the weight loss board!! If you need to lose between 5 - 100+ pounds, then you are in the right place!! We are glad to have you here and promise to support and encourage you on your weight loss efforts. Here is a little bit of what we have to offer you here.
1. We have a weekly weigh in. You are invited to participate in it.... no invitation is necessary. The stats that you see posted are starting weight/present weight/ and goal weight. We usually post how much our weight has changes (either plus, minus or maintained), and some of us include a little bit about our week, goals, etc. We prefer that you post your weigh ins under the thread set up for this purpose (It is headed weekly weigh in for whatever dates it is for, please post here). This helps to reduce our archiving time, as well as helps to keep everyone together.
2. Measurement reporting. Some persons may wish to report their measurements in addition to weighing in, or instead of weighing in. As with the weigh in, just jump right in and post your measurements. No invitation is needed. Please post your measurements under the Measurement reporting for the week of XX/XX/XX please post under this thread.
3. Journal reporting. Many of our members keep a food, water, and exercise journal. Please feel free to start your own thread for your journal and record each day under your thread. Our members will read it and provide you with encouragement and helpful suggestions.
4. Question of the week. This is a feature in which all members are requested to answer a question. If you have a suggestion for the question of the week, it can be mailed to me at cl-weberdns0@ivillage.com.
5. Newbie introduction. If you are a newbie to the board, please feel free to introduce yourself to the group. We will do our best to make you feel welcome.
I just love sending e-cards to members when they have done something good, for special days, or if they are blue. If you would like to receive e-cards, send a confidential e-mail address to me at weberdns@yahoo.com.
Please feel free to post any comments, questions, suggestions, etc. One thing that we ask is that if you disagree with a post, do it with respect and not attack the person writing the post. We are free to disagree here!!
Again, welcome to the board!! I am very glad to have you here!! If you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to post them or send them to me at weberdns@yahoo.com. Just be sure to include your member name with any correspondence so that I’ll know whom I am talking to!!
