Hello,
This a a message board, also known as a bulletin board. When you post a message, any replies will be shown underneath your message, after you reload the page. Sometimes, replies get put on the next page.

You can post messages in several places. The board is divided into separate sections by topics. On the main page (www.soulcysters.net), you'll see a bunch of different topics. Let's say that you want to introduce yourself, so you would click on the "Newbie Issues" board. Once there, you'll see that lots of people have started threads. A thread is where people post on a particular topic. It is basically a conversation, like chat. But you have to type your message and hit post every time you want to reply, so people tend to write longer messages than in chat.

In fact, I just started this thread there to talk to you.

I had to post this in a public thread because it was too much for a private message. But there are probably others who need help.

If you write a message in the "Quick Reply" box below, and click "Post Quick Reply," you'll be able to talk to me. Reload the page frequently to see any replies. And we'll go from there...

ok cool, I wasn't doing anything wrong then. I just wasn't watching the board close enough. I'll try to do better next time.

Yeah, you just have to wait for replies. Sometimes you'll get them and sometimes you won't... Some threads are pretty active, though. You can play around and see what you can find. The most recently talked on threads are at the top... well, underneath the "sticky" messages anyway. They're called sticky because they're always at the top, and have important information in them.

k, so I have a question about the IR diet, I read that you should not drink pop or flavored waters, anything with Splenda. I drink PLENTY of water, I drink all the time, but sometimes I like to have a soda or a flavored water. What is your opinion? It said if you were going to have a soda or something, link it with a protein...well it's kinda my treat in the mid morning or afternoon, I like to sip it. I don't want to rush and drink it just so I can link it with a protein.

Some of the ladies on the IR Diet drink diet sodas. I personally don't like them. I also typically don't drink the little bit of soda I have in between meals. I'll have a sip here and there of my husband's. But that's really just a personal preference. I know that sodas can make us gain weight because of the carbonation, or so I've heard, so I try to limit them completely.

It's interesting we were just talking about this on the IR diet support thread. Why don't you join us there? There will probably be some great tips from the others who like to drink diet soda during the day. Better than you'll get from me, since I don't.
