Ice and water in the door?
Of coarse!0 -
Agreed. Everytime I wrote a reply, I would have him in mind. And now a few other intellegent individuals.
You mean me, right?
uhhhh.........sure.......:ohwell:0 -
I never intended any remarks to be sounding as if I was "brushing" off Banks or to be offensive. I simply pointed out he is one person. There are many on here who have helped and continue to help--You, Tam, give great words for one. Songbrydsweet does, too. so does Healthier-Me, ViviaKay, lovelylady--there's just too many to name on here who help. And, I don't think I told anyone how they "should feel." If my attempts to cheer up some were taken that way, I apologize. I was attempting to help some not hurt anyone.0

In all seriousness, Banks was more than just one person here.
He was a wealth of knowledge and brought more to the table than support and pick-me-ups.
Which really, this place should offer support, but constructive support.
Its not okay to lapse, yes it happens and we move on, but its not okay.
Im not going to dare try and think what banks does, but I for one don't like seeing the
"I ate a full restaurant full of food, what do i do?" posts.
Pick yourself up, DONT do it again and exercise hard.
Its nothing to do with self hate.
Its that there are people that refuse to learn. People who are content with continuously relapsing because they like where they are, but want to put up the facade of progress.
Im sorry if this isnt supportive, but it needs to be address.
I think EVERY new person on here should just read banks' posts before EVER posting.
In fact, any minor research on google will answer most questions.
No, starving yourself after youve eaten too much is not the answer, OBVIOUSLY.
You need to create consistency, not this binge and purge mentality.
You DO need to eat your exercise calories, it is pointed out as you create your profile that an amount is already taken out for you to lose weight, at your specific pace.
There are people who dont read these things, arent committed, looking to lose 10 pounds in 2 days etc. that just destroy the basis of what this site is about, healthy, committed weightloss/maintenance for life.
Simple common sense is often lacking lately, and harsh words and resentment is held, and some people have taken it upon themselves to shun those who have disappeared due to this. Shame on those people who take it upon themselves to dictate their agenda onto unwilling people.
I think for these and many other personal reasons, you have noticed a decline in comradery and togetherness in posts. So stop blaming others, stop "self hating", wipe the dust off if you fall down, and don't accept it, but strive to be a better, healthier person.
"Stuff" happens, yes, but if you don't learn from it, you are destined to repeat it.
This is a wordy post, and at times not very supportive, but its honest, respect that for what it is.
I still think this site is a great tool and Mike has done a great job. It has helped me a lot, and I have been the recipient of support myself. Many have binged or had a little too much cake on their birthday etc. But what is lacking is follow through. As banks said, and I agree, I feel this is indicative of the entire country.
However, I think the boards and such have turned into a broken record. Yes there are new people, but there is also a huge backlog of information here as well.0 -

:drinker: Now that is what I have tried to say be hurt peoples feelings. Thank you for saying it without attacking. :flowerforyou:0 -
Well, my feelings are hurt for not being listed above. :sad:

Banks wouldn't have wanted it any other way.:bigsmile:0 -
I am fairly new to the boards and did not get to know BANKS.However, I think the boards and such have turned into a broken record. Yes there are new people, but there is also a huge backlog of information here as well.
But I agree that members post repetative information. A simple search in the Message Boards will bring up hundreds of posts that can probably answer your question. And a lot of the posts are by BANKS. So, although I did not know him as well as most people here, he did help me in his own way. Now I say we stop talking about him like he's passed away.:brokenheart: This board is starting to sound like a funeral home. We can ony hope he'll find his way back in time.0 -

I stumbled on this post by accident .
But MJ, you are right.. I think we all want eachother to succeed.
I stopped posting for many reasons but continue to use all this site has to offer, I have completely changed my life, and my body.
Because of Mike, and his hard work putting this together. Banks is my friend, and I will miss him on here. Lucky for me, I will have him in my life.
I really, from the bottom of my heart, wish you all the best.
Good Luck.
