Some people can be so negative….
So far so good. I haven’t gained anymore pounds this month. I have put a stop to that. Now my goal is to start losing. I go to the gym everyday and have only missed 2 days this whole year.
My biggest problem now is that I thought this place was positive and full of support????
I’ve had nothing but back talk about one of my post, only the second I put on here since first signing up. Now I’m not getting any new buddies and no one sends me messages or booster notes. when I look at other’s pages I see lots of love going around but you all seem to for get about little ol’ me. I hope this will change or i just might have to sign out for good.. J/K
well I look forward to hearing from you all. Have a nice day.

The thing about this site, you get what you give. I was really disappointed when I first started for the very same reasons you are. You have to reach out and others will reach back. I started sending out booster notes and I joined one of the weight loss challenge teams (of course for some reason now I am leading it). I also participate in the exercise challenges. You can do it. I know you can. Don’t get discouraged
I know it’s hard. try not to let people get to u. i know it’ easy said then done. at work this lady who i work with every day try to give me bad food and she knows i’m on a diet i had mention to her i’m TRYIN to lose weight. it’s like it gose through one ear and out the other. i know it’s funny u should laugh. so this past mon.i said to her no more food i want to lose weight please no more. she said ok. just like that. funny? take care
I agree with both Lyssa and Lean. You get what you put into it. That’s true both in this site and weight loss.
Don’t give up stick in there and just try to stay in touch with others and you’ll see who are great supporters. Don’t forget, you must give support in order to recieve as well.
Good luck and smile.
I remember your first blogs and in the one where you introduced yourself you said: “I would love supportive buddies. Only positive ones please, I will return the favor!”
But then you wrote a blog about how another person on this site was wrong about taking money from her father in a weight loss bet she had going. You said she didn’t respect her father. I thought it was strange that you would write a negative blog like that about someone on this site and you were new and starting out. Plus, you had written how you wanted only positive buddies but then you wrote something not so positive about someone else. This is a positive place to write and meet buddies but positive treatment goes both ways.
Not just here, but everywhere in life you will get out what you put into anything, including life itself. There will always be negative people, and cliques anywhere you go so get used to it. It’s not healthy to let others affect how you feel. Smile, and don’t be so sensitive.

Whoa wait a minute. So many blogs so little time. Sorry we missed responding to yours. I would like to add you to my buddy list.Dont Give up
Thank you aggal73, Lena, Belle619, Laurie & 1fatdiva. You are all wonderful.
As for miss WonderWoman, I’m sorry I offended you. but that blog you are talking about was just a question for others to put thier opinions out there about that situation. Again I’m sorry.
“How honest are you being? It just seems like very little breaks from working out, hard to believe, no offense my dear. I just couldn’t do that.”

and this comment, to quote you, how is that supportive? or even in-line with your own blog?
Oh,no need to apologize to me. I was not offended. I was simply pointing out what I had read and what I thought. Weight loss is so hard that we all need to stay positive and stick together. Your thoughts are your own and you asked a real question back then. I just didn’t like that the question was about someone who has been a supporitive person on this site who is struggling like the rest of us. I wish you all the best in making some great connections and making great progress!
Okay…here to stick my own two cents in.
I’m a happy, motivational person. I believe that everyone has made mistakes in their life…and everyone on a diet would surely agree with that!! We’ve all had to “start again” after a bad day and a slip of the diet. We’ve all needed to get back on track with ourselves.
So…in the interest of maintaining the intergrity of this site, and it’s supportive side… why not just do a “start again” here…
Stop bringing up the past, and start fresh. Both sides of this silly, useless debate. Be supportive, to everyone, no matter if you agree with their means of motivation, or their diet of choice, or the colour of their toenails.
We all need help and support, that’s why we’re here. So let’s focus on that, and forget the crap.
To quote the great Thumper “If you have nothing nice to say…say nothing at all.”
So, I’m here to support…let’s have some fun, and forget the rest!
Thank you Chai, I will start over and be more supportive and positive myself.
And I will fogive and forget all about the past with “Miss” allabouttown and the comments she made about me.
Tomorrow’s a new day.

Here are my two cents: On this site, as in life in general, as some buddies here have also pointed out, YOU GET BACK WHAT YOU PUT IN! So, stay positive, be supportive and if you don’t have anything nice to say, just don’t say anything at all. I personally was offended when you blogged about Belle and the WL bet she had going with her father & her sister. I know you didn’t intend to offend anyone, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions. So dust yourself off and let’s keep moving forward. Best wishes to you, not only on this site, your WL but also life!
Read all the comments and all I can say is WOW !!! You are truly an amazing group of women and I feel honored to be a part of this group !! TO; aBOUTtown—can’t you feel the love here ?
