Soooo... I joined the list before there were numbers. 
My first number was 25, and I made it to 3 before he proposed!
I'm still waiting, but I want to play too, darnit! Haha
I was #111 when I joined the list, I'm currently at #9!
ETA: I've been on the list since 7/12/10
I haven't joined the list...But I'm not going to lol. If I end up moving up the list I'll get sad. lol
I went from 120 to 94 before he propsed. Around the holidays it seemed like people were droping off the list like flies.
I can't remember exactly but I think it was 20 or so.. I'd have to look up the old threads to know. I think I was a waiting bee for 2-3 months?
I joined the waiting list 10/24/10 at number 141. I was proposed to on 4/28/11 and was at number 33. So 108 spots is 6 months!! Good luck waiting bees!!
Ok I lied. I just asked to be added to the waiting list. Lol..It might be fun to see the numbers change.
I'll play, too, even though I'm still on it :( I started at spot #130, and I'm currently at #13. I've been on it since September 2010.
@Wonderwoman217: I'll tell your SO to hurry up if you'll tell mine! Lol I'm hoping to be engaged sometime in the next 2 years. Then again, that's what I was hoping for 2 years ago. Le sigh.
my stats: joined waiting list on 10/30/11 at #146, currently i'm at #126. jumped 20 spots in 2 months! wow!
Aww, I kind of wish I could have watched my name move up the list. I've been #1 since the list was numbered (I'm another who's been on the list since the beginning) so no movement for me.
I've been on it for a year and I went from #168 to #25!!!!!!!!! Uggh hahha I need to get off that list :(
I'm also still waiting, and will be another year =/ I started at 146 and have moved to 116 (30 spots) in a little over 2 months! I'm sure I'll be towards the top by the time I'm crossed off.
Started at 135 on 10/30/2011 and now at 116. Still waiting though. I'm hoping to be out by the 70s but who knows :)
I am still on the list I was like in the 100's somewhere when I joined last Janurary. Now I"m number three on the list. I told my SO about the list and he looked at me and laughed.
I think I started at 120-something. I believe I was right around 100 when FI proposed. I was only on for a few months, I think, because I hesitated joining for fear of seeming insane - then I realized that the rest of the waiting ladies were just as insane as I was. :)
@armychica06: You were number 160 the first time you were on the list, and number 138 when you were crossed off! Let's call this sleuthing, not stalking ok? ..haha
Sorry, I think I crossed the line into creepy.
I just went to go "research" my word how many pages I had to search through-
when I was "officially" put on the list, I was #161 (two girls were marked in one spot so the recorded number is wrong). If I had known about the list earlier, my number would have been like 120/130s- a lot of new girls were added before me.
When I was crossed off, I was #138- (but really #141 because I wasn't marked off in time before the new list came out.)
However, I joined the waiting boards toward the end of my wait because I didn't know anything about it. I was waiting about 1.3 years and joined about 3 months before my fiance proposed. So imagine if I joined the boards when I first started waiting.... I would have been in the teens or single digits.
@MissBoPeep: LOL- how did you find it so fast. I was going through pages on pages reading the memories LOL. (I saw your message after I posted).
@armychica06: I was on a mission... lol I think I have a bad habit of taking things as a challenge!
I was on the list before numbers as well. I had been waiting for awhile before so I was number 7 and moved up to number 3 before I left the list. The higher you get I feel the slower the crawl.
Okay, after doing extensive research my first waiting list was Christmas of 2009 and when I was first crossed off was 1/16/11. I was engaged 1/7/11. Phew, that took awhile.

I was just curious to see the average number of spots a bee moves up on the waiting list before they got engaged. What number did you start with and what number were you when you said "yes" to the big question?
Just for funsies!
