Abi's weightloss diary - post jaw surgery

oh hell yeah it is!!

my team doesn't really seem to be around. bish bosh posts, and me, and the others seem to be missing in action. not really what i'd expected of joining a team i have to admit :(

i have asked them whether i should leave because they aren't giving me what i expected from a team... but of course none of them are around to respond... *sigh*..

hi abz, hope you don't mind me popping into your diary, i know what you mean about others not being supportive sometimes, i don't have a team as such but am part of the mini Oct challenge on the 100% bit and the last 2 weeks i've posted my loss and heard nothing from anyone! makes me feel a little abandoned sometimes especially as i try and congratulate anyone for weight loss asap! sorry for ranting!
are you feeling any better?

What I don't understand is when people say they really want to be on the team, then they go quiet (I'm assuming due to a bad week).....it's not fair on the other team members.......
 
well last week when somebody questioned whether the team was still a team everyone kind of showed up and then since then they've all vanished again. me and bish are giving it a shot. but everyone else seems to have gone. and that's not a problem. if they are getting out of the team what they want then i don't have a problem with that if they don't have a problem with me leaving because i'm not getting what i wanted. they are all doing well, losing weight, but they aren't around to pep me up when i need it. i seem to be doing all the pepping.

but then i have you guys :D so i shouldn't complain should i? :D

nope. or i would have shaken it up a bit by now i reckon :) ha. possible of course that they've all gone on holiday, had computer blow ups, been busy etc. i wasn't on the team long enough to get to know them before they went really.
 
So are you on the lookout for a new team? We might have an opening soon......if I don't get all results in by the end of the week. Will see what unfolds in the next day or so.
 
let me know if you do minz. but i don't want to just sod off and leave the others without good reason... by the end of the week i suppose i'll know...

It is a real problem with teams. As you might remember I moved teams recently for the same reasons. I really can't understand why people join a team and then disappear, and not even come on for a couple minutes to post their losses weekly, which is the bare minimum. I couldn't bear to let other people down like that. If I didn't post for a whole week, I couldn't imagine that at all, but if I didn't I would expect them to find a replacement immediately.

On each team there seems to be 2-3 people on there daily and the rest dropping in once or twice a week. I was thinking wouldn't it be great to create a new team of Minimins Addicts! I don't want to split the teams up or anything, I think it works well, but maybe us nutters who are never offa here, could create a Team Minimins Addicts so that we have a place to go and chat, but still stay with our own teams? Watcha think?
 
it could be a plan. although sometimes i do have to vanish for a couple of days. i can't always be this liberal with minis at work!!

We could cope with that. I shouldn't be on here as much as I am these days cause I'm not getting much work done! It would just give us more regular support when we are on, because it would be very likely that someone else would be there when we do come on?

We could go for 6 people, who have posted 500 or 1000 times, who would commit to popping on daily, where possible of course, and barring holidays etc. Just not to go AWOL!

i like the idea of that frances :) i don't want to just abandon my team because they aren't around at the mo. but i do like the idea of having daily support where needed, mini-challenges. that kind of thing.. which is what i thought i'd be getting in the first place, ha.
 
I'm the same. Don't want to leave my team but want more! It could be a solution. Let's see if anyone else on your thread takes us up on the idea.
 
well guys. i'm going home :D :D

i will be around at some point tomorrow. possibly not for 14 hours like today... :S it's my day off. i need to attempt some semblence of having a life, ha. but i will be around :)

good morning guys. i feel SO much better this morning :) i got up just before 10 because the water meter man knocked on the door. i didn't get it because i happened to be naked at the time... so i'll have to fill out the little card. they should tell you when they are coming!! ha. but at least i caught up on my sleep. poor thomas was so so tired last night so hopefully he's ok at work today. he was not happy leaving me in bed while he had to get up, ha.

another lb down. surely this can't continue. that's 2lbs down already and i'm not getting weighed until monday... last time i did ss i had really shoddy losses. i don't think i ever made it a 3lbs a week loss except for the first week...

i have also worked out i need to lose one stone 10 before i can train as a cdc so the battle is on!! ha. hopefully i will be able to get close if not there by christmas :) would be great to be able to train in january :)

am walking up to the university today to meet up with some of my friends from the uni library where i used to work. really looking forward to it :) but i need to leave in about 15 mins if i'm going to make it so just a quick update this morning :) well, quick as i do :)

all this walking must be helping!!

how are all of you doing this morning?
