  1. Well, it's Jan 2 and here come the resolutions again. I've lurked here for
    years, rarely posted, not at all in the last few years. Did LC fairly
    faithfully, was successful for a while - note the WAS. I have totally gone
    off the LC wagon and need to get back on. It's been so long since I've truly
    done low carb that I'm resetting my "since" stat to this year.

    I have to get healthy! Part of this is loosing weight. I had a back injury
    from a car accident about 16 months ago and have totally stopped moving due
    to pain. I MUST add exercise back into my life. I have to regain some
    flexibility even with the back problems. My husband is disabled, I need to
    be able to take care of him as well as myself.

    I have asked for spiritual help with loosing weight and not craving chips,
    Cheetos, and other carby, salty, snacks. Well I got it - just not how I
    expected it. I have developed an allergy to the cheese/dairy type flavoring
    on things like Cheetos, flavored chips, etc. I develop a very painful skin
    reaction. Guess I haven't been listening to the gentle hints so my attention
    has been grabbed with something stronger.

    They say if you publish your goals, you're more likely to meet them. So here
    goes.

    Initial goals:
    5 pounds per month weight loss
    Exercise daily - on a daily basis will do one of the following: aerobic,
    weight, or flexibility (pilates/yoga/stretching)

    So, I am participating in the challenge and am coding my sig line to take
    advantage of the robo challenge automatic stat capture.

  2. You have asked for help with losing weight, not loosing weight.

    Don't be irritating and read the FAQ.

  3. then you should already know that JC never says anything to help
    others. I'll give him 1/4 pt for recommending the faqs. but otherwise
    he is just here to pick on people. I suggest KF'ing right away. I'm at
    work using google groups so his posts show up o/w his is invisible to
    me unless someone quotes him. (never fails that someone does)
    good wishes for your success.

    That brings us back to the "ethical" question.

  11. JC's been KF for ages, just not worth the attention he gets.

    more by the end of the month. 🙂

    Now JC, start the year off with a slightly more charitable outlook. the
    whole "loosing" - "losing" mixups really get on my [censored] too, but take it
    in stride, man!

    Ok, it skips people that are too close to goal ;-) Keep sending in
    suggestions and comments, it can only get better.

    I also fixed the url to be aSDlc not aDSlc ;-)

    Sure it can. It is *negative* attention and it is not what someone
    wants. I know from experience because I did the same thing in this
    very newsgroup regarding a few ppl here and because I was so angry and
    bitter about a fellow I had met and had a private relationship with
    from this newsgroup. The relationship was not working out as I hoped
    it might and I took my anger out on everyone.....most especially him
    but also a few ppl here too. I am still disappointed the relationship
    did not work out but I have learned several lessons from it I can take
    through to my next one.

    I still feel horrible about what I did (especially when it comes to
    the guy involved) because everyone has called me names and
    killfiles me and no one wants to get to know who I really am because
    I have shown myself to be someone who I am not in person.

    People do not want to bother with people who do not conduct themselves
    in a good way in all aspects of thier life and I did that. It was my
    biggest mistake ever and I am paying for it now. I've apologized to
    the guy in question but he chooses to believe that I am not sincere in
    my apologies and I am sorry for what I have done in the past here
    because everyone thinks I am a crackpot now and I do not feel very
    comfortable here very much anymore and feel like I must always be on
    the defensive. I only stay here because I need support in order to
    get to my normal weight and I want to *proove* to everyone I can do it
    eventually.

    Negative attention is not a good thing.
