Default MH People

Hello everybody, just came over from the MH Forums thanks to some rave reviews from some of the regulars over there... thought I'd start a thread for anybody else coming over like I did.

Looking forward to contributing here!

Welcome aboard, jayb!

I came over from MH a couple years ago, and have rarely looked back. If everyone from the MH boards responds, this could become one of the longest threads in the forum. That would be pretty impressive for a 1st post!

Ive been on both MH and JP's for a couple of years now...MH likes to do changes/upgrades quite often, which can be a pain. I usually go over to MH if I want a laugh or Im bored..if I want solid info, I will ask over here.

Welcome. As you can see, I just started posting here last month. I like to go back to MH once in awhile. However, the changes they just made this week are terrible. I am less likely to spend much time there. The people here at JPs are the best.

Officially a newbie.... again.

"Junior Member" seems so humbling...

This is about the 4 times in my posting career I have lost my post count. I am probably somewhere at 8 thou by now. I know I have hit 2,000 before and then 1 thou a few times. Oh well, shit happens.

(can anyone figure out who I was at MH lol)

I was at the MH forums a while back and came here for probably the same reasons everyone else did/has.

I lost the majority of my weight when I was at MH. Then it got sucky or I graduated to the advanced class.

I tried for awhile to keep up over there. I just can't.

meh.

I like to come here when I'm feeling a little too pompous, so that I can remind myself, by reading the posts of the regulars here, about how little I actually know!

Hey guys! I just came over from MH too. I'm so annoyed with the changes they made over there, however I'll probably go back and forth between the two. I recognize so many members from MH over here so I thought I'd try it out. I'm a newbie.... yayyyyyy!

So, how does it go; is MH like a "gateway" forum that leads to serious forum addiction and abuse here at JP's?

Hope so.

Stick around and you will see how a forum should be run.

Welcome!

I am not here much due to my work filters but typically get in a few posts each week.

Interesting thought... if this forum was already highly-touted and it's going to be adding a bunch of new faces... that should make for a top-notch operation here.

I was a convert from MH in 2004. Welcome to the new guys. It's an amazing little community we've got going here.

To all the MH evacuees ....welcome! To echo K-Court's comments, I came over here in 2003 and really haven't been back over there much. I don't need to...unless I want to check out the flame wars. Sit back and take a look at all the fitness professionals\trainers that hang out here. You'll be amazed at the knowledge of the members as well.

jayb,

I tried to bring my avitar over, but it was too big. Can someone please let me know if this one is going over the edge of permitable here?

Uh-oh.......

That is...um... kinda nice. But that may be pushing it. I'll let the owners or moderators answer for sure.

Lurked here over the last few weeks. Mostly reading Mahler's NROL log. Registered today as part of the MH exodus though I'll still go back. The MH Belly of Club got me from 240lb to 200, And I was just getting into the Training forum.

Haha I'm another convert! I'll probably lure around both forums, but lately (with school and finally--oh yes--warmer weather) I've been spending much less time online altogether. But I'll be around!

Cheers
Tony
