Jewish Musings

[lee058]

Good morning everybody. I'm going to try and move the old "Jewish Musings" thread over here. I'm looking forward to our being in our new home!

What’s on your mind – how to make kugel? This week’s Torah reading? Life goals? Prayer? We are all engaged in weight loss/weight maintenance journeys and we are all Jewish or at least interested in Judaism. We like to eat, we like to discuss. It is our goal here to provide each other support on our journeys, to share experiences, to call on our rich cultural heritage and texts, and to help each other grow spiritually.

Some of us take weekly turns starting the thread:

Angelika
Holly
Lee
Louise
Lynne
Peachy
. . . . . . . . . .


We welcome everyone who is interested and wants to join in the conversation! This is a bit of a transition, but I think that everyone from the old thread is coming here. Thanks Becca!!!

Oh, wait, is this how to post instead of only reply to something already posted?

The Quick Reply at the bottom is like when you replied on the WW boards. 

The little comment box within each post is just to dash off a quick thought, like "me too!" You do not get notifications if someone posts in the little comment box so some groups prefer not to use them.

Hope that helps.

Looking forward to figuring out the new board together. 😊

A-a-a-a-and here we all are! Boker Tov! I'm off to the gym

Hi again everybody! I'm SO glad we are finding our way here. I think this will be great; lots of people are already checking our thread out, and hopefully some will be interested and join us.

I'll be back later. Have a peaceful rest of the day, Lee

Hi everyone and thanks to Becca and Lee. Becca is amazing, helping to move ALL the boards over here!
Can I just pose a question? What is WW thinking, deleting all the online support? What could they possibly gain from everyone losing their online support forum?
I have always defended WW, and do still follow it and attend meetings, but this one baffles me

Hi, this is Lynne, and I hope I am doing this right!

Hello everyone, I've been unbelievably busy this week and haven't caught up with this week's posts yet, but I wanted to wave a hello to all, and to thank Becca for her help.  And frum or not, you're always welcome here!  We come from all levels of knowledge, observance and general Yiddishkeit, and I personally love the contributions of everyone.

Be back later -- duty calls, everyone have a great evening!

Hi, everybody. Being frum isn't a requirement. All that's required is a thinking brain and a "Yiddish hartz" (a Jewish heart. Thanks, Becca and Lee.

How do you put a picture on?

For your avatar?

Click on Profile on the top blue bar.
Click the button on the right near the top that says Edit Profile.
Make sure to choose "Use only the Uploaded/Linked."
Then, where you see "Upload or Link your own avatar image," click on Upload and choose the image you want.
I think you then save it but am not on that screen right now.

Becca, how do I start a new thread for Friday? I don't see a button for it. Thanks! Lee
