Where have all my good friends gone?

I've been on CC since May 08 and many of my on-line friends have dropped out.  Some have made their goal and moved on, others just quit. 

I do miss the opportunity to talk to people about this process and being motivated by their efforts.  I can't really have this kind of conversation with people in real life, mostly because they aren't interested in talking about diet and exercise.

Anybody else in the same boat?

People come and people go. It's the nature of life. Since I started here in '06, I've met countless new people and watched countless others move on with their life away from CC. It happens.

I'm your friend!

Hey tciherr! I just joined and I've noticed a few long-timers. I'm staying and I'd love to get to know you-or anybody else for that matter! I like everyone I meet-we just all have different opinions, thoughts and ideas. That's what makes CC so interesting...

Have a great day! Linda Jo

I think people come and go here all the time, I was here for a year, then left, gained back almost 15 pounds and came back.  Clearly I'm not allowed to leave or I swell up.

I have experienced the same and it helps me keep my online 'friendships' in perspective. I have some relationships on here that I really value but I must realize that any day they may decide to stop posting. Life happens and they just aren't getting what they need from here, I guess. Or they are tired of failure. Or they just don't have time. Etc.

I always hope that the ones who have met their goal have gotten all they need from here and are off enjoy strong, healthy lives.

Ok, I guess my post sounded a little whiny after I had the opportunity to look at some of the responses.  I realize that on-line "friendships" come and go.  But seriously, most of my real life friends are skinny and aren't interested in talking about diet and exercise.  However, on CC, there are a LOT of people who enjoy talking about it!

Thanks for the reality check.  Have a great weekend!

I keep leaving and returning. It's kind of the nature of online communities. Some leave for good, some take some breaks, some stay on faithfully.

You can always make new friends

:)

I hate it when people just drop off the face of the cyber earth and are never heard from again.  I have had old friends show up again and I'm so glad to "see" them. 

Keep making new friends, which is easy to do here.

I haven't been on in three weeks, but I'm back, because I need the support and accountability that CC gives me.  Got to meet that goal or get close soon.  I want a baby!
