supporting the newbie and those that are struggling

Prestonofcourse

unfortunately i am a chronic relapser and have been up and down on my weight loss for 9 months now, although over all i have lost 18 pounds since the beginning of the year. what i have noticed about mfp is that people friend people that have lost significant weight and congratulate them for their every move. certainly grand amounts of weight loss are a worthy and admirable achievement and some back slapping is called for; but what about the newbie?? what about those that are struggling? this is my call mfp community- lets look out for everyone. lets support and congratulate everyone from the 100 pound + weight lost to the 2 pounds lost. every one of those pounds was work and effort.
