    I'm going to go out on a limb and say that your extreme loss in such short a time might be the reason. 25lbs in 6 weeks is about 4lbs/week, so unless you're something like 400+ that's a highly unhealthy weight loss. Some might be reluctant to say anything based on that.

    ^This.

    That loss is intimidating, well done for getting it down though -really.

    I came on to MFP for myself, didn't do the fora. Did venture in and got more woo''s than likes and hugs - somehow I'm still here.
    Accept those who may travel a few miles with you and discount those who discredit your efforts even if they are not according to mainstream beliefs.
    I have found quiet corners on here and have been able to grow within a support group, the friend stream -nah, hasn't worked out. My advice is find a thread with which you are comfortable, a challenge group possibly - fixed time and accountability.
    That isn't a sure fire answer either, folk have all the best intents and fall by the wayside, some stick it out and you can see who they are and extend a friendship request.

    Al the best.

    My thoughts exactly.
