Have any of you noticed what I have, that due to the support here, and my support of others, cheering folks on in difficult challenges with the daily comments, that I'm tending to treat all of my friends more positive...cheering them on in different areas? Just an interesting side effect. I think being positive is really infectious!

    I agree the more support the more postive I feel and also feel towards others.

    My hero is my daughter who is a cancer survivor and is the most positive person I know....she only surrounds herself with positive people. I have learned from her that you are always better to think of the glass as half full!!

    YES! I have the most amazing and supportive friends here! And now, just all the positive feed back is flowing into my 'regular' life - I compliment people more, have more positive things to say, and feel like I can reach out a little more!

    YES!! Totally! I know that you might just be saying " well done or great" to all the statuses that you read, but you mean it and when you talk to friends in real life, it really does bleed over and you are a lot more positive in your reaction to them. :bigsmile:

    Absolutely! I find myself looking forward to my friends weigh-ins. I love that success here comes not only from our own success, but from the success of our friends :D
