BCB FORUM G.U.I.D.E.
[Getting Useful Informative Departmental Education)
***AFTER JOINING THE BCB, TAKE A FEW DAYS "VISITING" THE DIFFERENT FORUMS. AFTER "LURKING" AND/OR FINDING A GROUP THAT MATCHES BEST YOUR INTERESTS/GOALS/LIFESTYLE...INTRODUCE YOURSELF IN THAT PARTICULAR GROUP AS A WAY OF COMITTING TO IT AS YOUR "HOME GROUP"
1.POST ANY & ALL THEMES IN "HOME GROUP" FIRST
(95% of the threads found on the Daily Thread "DT" can be placed in a "HOME GROUP". We encourage a "relationship" with a "HOME GROUP" so that threads will be disbursed throughout the site and NOT concentrated in ONE Forum.
2.QUESTIONS OR NOTICES THAT NEED IMMEDIATE ATTENTION OR ATTENTION OF THE ENTIRE BCB "FAMILY" BELONG IN THE "DAILY THREAD" (All other questions or notices can be placed in your "HOME GROUP" or disbursed. Perhaps Oprah has a "weight loss show" scheduled...it's on NEXT WEEK?, that belongs in ENTERTAINMENT FORUM. It's on TODAY?,..."DAILY THREAD-DT"
3.QUESTIONS OR TOPICS REGARDING WEIGHT LOSS, WEIGHT GAIN, HITTING GOAL...SHOULD BE DISBURSED ACCORDINGLY
(Weight lose can be shared with your HOME GROUP or THE "SHOW OFF FORUM" for ALL BCB-er's to share. Weight loss concerns, AGAIN...YOUR HOME GROUP, FIRST or, how about bringing it to LIFETIMERS or SLOW & STEADY BCB-er's that have experience to share.
4.RECIPES,(those giving specific ingrediant amount) BELONG IN THE INDIVIDUAL RECIPE FORUMS. IF YOU ARE INQUIRING ABOUT A RECIPE, THAT CAN ALSO BE PLACE IN THE RECIPE FORUM OR FOOD & LOW POINT FORUM (Tried a delicious meal last night? HOME GROUP, FOOD & LOW POINT. If your meal contained a NEW FIND, FOOD & LOW POINT or NEW PRODUCT FORUM.)
5.ENTERTAINING STORIES, JOKES, WITTY CONVERSATION BELONG IN HOME GROUP, LAUGH A LITTLE, LAUGH A LOT FORUM
6.EXERCISE RELATED INFORMATION OR CONCERNS BELONG IN HOME GROUP or WW & EXERCISE
7.ACHES & PAINS, CHRONIC BACK AILMENT...T.O.M. WEIGHT GAIN, HOME GROUP or WOMEN & HEALTH ISSUES (Perhaps you are concerned because your back ailment is keeping you from exercising, WW & EXERCISE
8.LOOKING FOR MORE BCB-er's IN YOUR STATE, OR PLANNING TO VISIT ANOTHER STATE IN PARTICULAR, BUDDIES IN USA
9.SOME "BUDDY" IN YOUR HOME GROUP NEED HELP BRING IT TO THE DAILY THREAD SO ALL BCB-er's CAN HELP
10.POST A THREAD AND CAN'T FIND IT? CHECK THE SPECIFIC THEME FORUM. (If a thread is placed in the DAILY's that belongs elsewhere, IT WILL BE MOVED.
Without knowing each persons HOME GROUP, it will be moved to a forum that closely matches the theme. YOU CAN SAVE THE MODERATORS AN INCREDABLE AMOUNT OF WORK BY CHOOSING WISELY WHERE A THREAD BELONGS.
YOUR HOME GROUP SHOULD BE YOUR FIRST CONSIDERATION
ANY QUESTIONS CAN BE DIRECTED TO WW QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS CONCERNING SUBMISSIONS CAN BE ANSWERED BY THE GENERALS OR PERHAPS YOU MIGHT POSE IT IN YOUR HOME GROUP FOR FEED BACK.
WELCOME TO THE BCB This is an "ever-growing "family" and with numbers increasing on a daily basis we count on our members for co-operation. Your co-operation is best displayed through READING OUR PHILOSOPHY, ADHERING TO GUIDELINES OFFERED and ABOVE ALL RECOGNIZING THAT WE ARE MANY. MANY PEOPLE COMING TOGETHER FROM MANY MANY DIFFERENT PLACES. BY JOINING A HOME GROUP YOU ARE NARROWING DOWN THE DIFFERENCES WHICH WILL ENABLE YOU TO HAVE A BETTER SENSE OF BELONGING AND MAKE YOUR JOURNEY MORE REWARDING AS WELL AS LESS ARDUOUS.
THANK YOU FOR BECOMING PART OF THE BOOTCAMP BUDDIES. WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU.
