I just have one thing to say...

Hoping4change5

I have been on MFP for several months and to date I have lost 60 pounds.. and although I am not an active poster (due to the fact I am still learning how to lose weight etc and don't have the knowledge to give someone else)...I have read many , many posts and responses on here. Many posts have answered questions I myself had and some comments have gave me new thought to things I didn't even think could be a possibility. So for that really, I want to thank posters and the people who comment on some great topics. You all take time out of your day to help others achieve their goals and for someone like me that had a big weight loss journey it has been a tremendous help.

So thank you all for your wise words and amazing advice you have given through the many months i've been here

I am glad to read this.

Sometimes those who give advice get to feeling like why bother...and this post demonstrates why.

Wonderful, thanks for the post. There is a wealth of information on the forums, you just have to weed out the nonsense.

I am also glad to see you post "due to the fact I am still learning how to lose weight etc and don't have the knowledge to give someone else" There's a whole LOT of folks on here who don't let lack o knowledge stop them from giving advice, which is VERY dangerous at times, BUT MFP is free so we take what we get and leave the rest, right


Congrats on the AWESOME LOSS!:happy:

Great post, OP! I don't post on the boards much either, BUT I have gathered such valuable information from those that do post regularly. I attribute most of my weight loss to learning about TDEE and to weigh everything! Feeling the best I have in years!
Thanks all!!

I agree, I see more good than bad happening. I have learned so much from reading posts and searching for topics I need answered. I spend a lot of time going "wow - I didn't know that".

@skippy - That is like a glass 3/4 full - Yes! :flowerforyou:

At first I was like: Oh, no, another mean people thread.

Then I was like: Oh, what a wonderfully pleasant surprise!

Finally, I was like: Self, stop using like incorrectly.

Great sentiment, OP. :drinker: Very refreshing.

I feel the same way as well. I don't post much because even though I've been logging for almost a year I still feel like I don't have enough experience to give solid advice ^^;

But can I tell you what a relief it is to see so many well informed posts about every subject imaginable? It has made my journey that much easier and I really feel like I better understand myself and how my body works.

I'm a researcher at heart so I don't comment often but I READ. I read and read and read a lot of post on here every day just to see what people go through. I finally feel better about myself in terms of what I eat. I may not exercise all the time, but at least I'm active and try to do something instead of sit on my butt. I may not eat 100% unprocessed all the time, but I give myself treats and work them into my day so I don't feel like I am depriving myself. I also may not lose when I expect to lose, but I can at least understand that it maybe water retention or something to that effect all because of the wonderful posts on here.

It's all because of you, MFPers, that post all the time and offer your wisdom. For that, I would like to thank you ^-^ cheers! :drinker:
