Just to clarify, old MFP vs. new MFP

kerrilucko

I was reading the post from yesterday that got locked up... the one about Jo leaving the website. A lot of us mentioned that MyFitnessPal has really changed a lot lately. Some people had a lot of negative things to say about the fact that that was said and I just wanted to clarify. I DO miss some of the people that have left. It's hard because you make friends with some people and then they disappear. But I never meant that I'm not fond of the newbies on here, actually I love a lot of the newer people. I think that a lot of us that have been here long-term (many much much longer than myself) are finding the site a little less laid-back though. Obviously it will take a group effort to correct this issue. I think that a lot of people are intimidated when posting questions/comments because there is often a really negative reply. I think that is what we were trying to say yesterday, not that the new people here are no good. Like I said, I love love love tons of the newbies. In fact there is nobody that uses this website that I have a problem with!
Anyways I just wanted to clarify that for anybody that had hurt feelings yesterday, it was not the intent! :flowerforyou: Let's get MFP back to where it should be. We all have something in common, let's act like it! :drinker:

Couldn't agree more, if it weren't for the support and motivation I get on here, I would still be battling with my 1st 10 pound goal, but, I'm now on my 3rd 10lb goal and LOVING MFP!!!
Let's not waste time bickering, life's too short, some of us - me included, have a long way to go on this road, I'd hate to think that any one of us could get stuck in a ditch and not be able to climb back out - lets pull each other out, and keep walking !!!! :drinker::flowerforyou:

Old MFP as in... how the mfp atmosphere used to be as oppesed to how it is now. There was a discussion about it yesterday.

I still say we spray everyone down in hot fudge and lock us up til we get along....or eat each other. :laugh:

Everyone here is great.
Don't be afraid to ask stuff...make sure to double check to see if it's been answered but don't let that stop you from asking. Some of the great people on this site found out all their amazing info because people had questions.

I think it was locked for a reason. If we continue to discuss this, there will continue to be unhappy people.

Please can we please please please let this die and move on.

I am a newbie and I really enjoy everyone here. I enjoy reading everyone's profile and seeing the success, I really enjoy the tips, ideas, and questions from everyone, but more importantly, the support we get from you veterans is second to none. I have gotten more out of this site than any coach or personal trainer I have ever worked with. I have only been here less than a week and I love this site. Keep up the good work, people!!

Hmmmm... well if it makes it feel better it was in reference to my "cannibalism" comment. :happy:
Which could lead to a gross factor.

This I completely agree with. So times I don't even look at the Forums because it seems like nobody looks to see what has been asked. I've been on here for over a year and for a while I quit getting on because it seemed like everyday the exact same questions were being asked.

I really love this site and tell everybody I know about it. With out it I would have never lost.

I agree! I'm not a "newbie" as much any more, but I think y'all are great! Well, except that Marla chick. She seems like trouble. :laugh:
