Besides Awesome! WTG! and Fabulous!

What are some of your favorites when you are commenting on exercise or diaries! I want to support my friends ... but awesome is always the first word that comes to my mind!

Well unfortunately we all get busy sometimes and have simple phrases that we use, but when I am not short on time. I love perusing my friends food and exercise diaries, usually making kind suggestions, or asking about a recipe, or commenting on some food that we have in common that we enjoy. . Things like that. . Hope this helps!:flowerforyou:

I use "YAY!!!" and "Nice!" A lot. A lot more than I should. But, personally, I like to get any comments whatsoever from my friends. It's not what they say - just that they're paying attention that matters. I figure everyone's busy, so just something letting me know people are there makes me happy.

I too am guilty of saying "WTG" or "good job" pretty often. I don't look at all my friends' diaries but I try to check in with a few people regularly, especially if they've asked for suggestions/support in that area. Sometimes I'll say "nice protein intake" or comment on their water, or something else, especially if I know it's something they are working on. Sometimes I'll gently comment that maybe they didn't eat enough to fuel their workout (specifically for people under like 800 calories) but not always. I have a few friends with private diaries and in that case I might just comment, "Hope you had a healthy day" or something like that.

Its not so much what u say as it is that u took time to say anything...its encouraging to see someone comment especially if u are supporting them as well...i write more comments than post topics...i try to say something to as many folks as i can...this helps me from eating in the evenings and it gives me strength when i get them back....

If you know the individuals on a more personal level, then i try to say something that matches their personalities!

I feel the same. I know everyone doesn't have time to write out a big note, but just knowing they took enough time to stop and encourage me means a whole lot. It's a push to keep on going.

I haven't been here too long, but I use the same encouragement you mentioned... Awesome!
