thanks all!

Hey all! I just wanted to say thanks for your support and also for such a great welcome to this site. :bigsmile:

I have lost 7 lbs since I joined! You all gave me the much needed support to get back to sticking to my workouts. I was only going a couple days a week and always tried to find excuses. Now I look forward to them again and am excited about seeing the tone coming back to my body.

Anyway, thanks again. I really needed that encouragement. It has been a rough past year or more, and I somehow lost that drive to take good care of my body. Everyone should love who they are and I certainly felt like I was no longer loveable. Now hopefully I will get some confidence back and maybe get back into the dating scene?! :ohwell: ehh..not sure I'm ready or not yet but who knows haha :happy:

'aight so I'm not much of a 'talk about your feelings' kind of guy to people I dont know all that well, but ya'll have been great and I feel like I need to share my appreciation for your friendship.

Thanks!

TY

btw - anyone notice Cubs are still in 1st and won again last night?! I know you are excited Jen!!! haha.

Hey Ty,

As someone who went through a pretty hard year himself (divorce *SUCKS*) I know where you are coming from. The best thing I ever did was resolve myself to control the one thing I really had any semblence of control over....myself.

This place has become so much more than a weight loss site, it's become a place where I go to hang out with friends, to catch a laugh, and to feel good about myself. I don't think Mike could have ever known how much impact MFP would have on so many lives. (I mean, I have met some people here who are truly like family to me. I have even managed, even though I wasn't looking for it...did I mention that divorce *SUCKS*, to meet someone that restored my faith in relationships and people in general. I have a feeling she'll be a major part of my life for a very, very long time to come. *And no it's not you Fatsis*)

Anyway, I know where you are coming from dude, all to well. Thankfully though, it looks like we are both well on the mend and ready to look to the future instead of the past. *raises glass* So here's to the future, great friends and MFP.

We're glad you have joined us man, the people of MFP make it all worth while, and I have a feeling I will be here long after I hit my goal. (Hey as long as there are people that are here trying to lose, they are gonna need the gutter gang around to help support them).

Give a yell if you ever need to talk bro.

Thanks J. I appreciate your encouragement. This site has completely blown my mind away. So many supportive people!

Gutter gang ey? :huh: Hmm...how did I miss out on being a part of this? haha.

Congrats on finding someone that has taken such a special place in your life. I am very thrilled to hear that! Gives me hope that maybe the next time around i will end up w/ someone that I can truly be happy with. I am tired of always feeling like I have to change for someone else. Change is good sometimes, but not always... (*yes those are my words of wisdom for the day :laugh: I am a dork I know..)

Dude, seriously, it was when I stopped looking that I found her (or more appropriately, she found me...) Never in my life have I ever known someone more perfect for me. She's an amazing human being (although I'm not sure just a regular 'human' can be as cool as her....she might be an alien...or a really hawt hairless Sasquatch....or maybe even....a CHUPACABRA!!! :noway: :noway: :noway: )

Ok, now I past that ridiculousness, all I can say is that there are still amazing people out there. And no girl, no matter how...well you know how they are (no offense meant towards any women who haven't ripped their husbands hearts out, stepped on them a couple of times and then feasted on them for their own pleasure)....can take the hope away, even when it seems like it's fleeting.

She'll show up dude, there are still beautiful women out there that are ready and willing to sweep you off your feet. Trust me on this.
