GOOD idea Ms T! Like Liz said, Unca COULD probably do that too..he's a computer wizzard ya'know:+)

Gosh you ALL truly deserve this "special" recognition...lord i have a LONGGGGG way to go to get'it...LOL!

You're well on your way, Chynna.

[Lizabette]

I wonder. Because isn't the "preferred member" or whatever just an automatic thing based on the number of posts? This would have to be done manually for each person who reaches maintenance.

Well, ROBIN, we could let UNCA iron it out whether it's feasible or not!
JO!!!!! Surely you're not comparing the Golden Globe Awards to maintaining a weight loss for ONE YEAR! You jest!
Like CHI said, girl, we deserve it!

[Tawanda]

He's able to add the yellow (gold?) star for hitting 110# lost, so I would guess he has some tricks up his sleeve or at his fingertips.... Anyone who can keep us all in line has to have some extra knowledge.......

[DogMa]

Well, I'm fine with whatever everyone else decides. Heck, I'm fine with just the little note saying that I've been maintaining since August 2006. What matters most to me is that I'm still maintaining and that I know it.

When I reach goal I am going to focus on sharing my experience, strength and hope with others who are still trying to achieve goal, not worrying about what is in my signature. If this is just about me maintaining, I can go on my merry way. I beieve in the principle of service. Helping others like I was helped. That is the point. We don't have many maintainers around.

You tell 'em, TEE!

Which is one reason I'm still around. I don't have as much to contribute about the program anymore, especially after it's changed a few times already since I started. But I at least want to be here to pipe up on occasion and just to show people that there ARE maintainers out there.

Right on, BIK! We're here to serve. But it's okay to have a little fun with it along the way!

I'm only half kidding, Liz. I was always taught not to toot my own horn and with my weight loss especially, I just feel a little uncomfortable doing it......or as my dad used to tell me.......we sound a little full of ourselves......though I KNOW that's not really the case. Don't get me wrong. I do like my medalion, but tiara's (sorry, bebes, you know I wear it all the time when I'm by myself, hehehe), and other recognition is not necessary. There are lots of people here doing amazing things to better their lives, and yes maintenance is really hard, but we could all drive UNCA nuts with suggestions for new recognition.

Yes, we are proud of our accomplishments, but a little bit of humble is good, too.

Sorry for the hijack, Robin, and of course, I'll go along with the group decision.

[DogMa]

No problem, Jo. I'm not sure how this became such a big deal in the first place. It all started because I mentioned celebrating being in maintenance for a whole year, which I do think is worth celebrating - especially when there are so few maintainers here. As for the rest, I'm staying out of it. I don't care either way (and Biki, I think we all ARE here to help others AND to keep ourselves on track; why else would we bother posting? I can keep track of my food and weight and workouts and whatever else on my own - and I do).

[Serendipity]

True, Robin. I know I could continue maintaining on my own because it means so much to me, but sticking around here keeps it in the forefront so that I can't allow myself to become complacent. Daily visits to the forum help me to stay focused.

As for this becoming a big deal. I don't think it is at all, we're just doing what we always do......a bunch of women with opinions that vary, talkin' it over.

Sure glad that's settled...now what was it we were talking about?
Love y'all,

[Lasi]

I am just glad that you are still here, posting, and encouraging others. You show us how it can be done, offer support, and show how you maintain. That is awesome

Hi, Robin.

From the very beginning, you have influenced both my journey and my sister Dayna's by sharing your experience, insights, encouragements, and cautions. Forgive me for not saying so earlier.
