Not to get all mushy

But I guess I'm just feeling a little sentimental today.

In light of recent events, I was thinking about our huge support group here. I love the fact that everyone is supportive of one another regardless of whether you have 10 or 110 pounds to lose. There's always someone to cheer you on when you finally dropped a pound or ran your first mile. I know that I am not alone when I marvel at someone who has dropped from a 22 to a 12! :noway: That's a huge achievement and it bolsters all of us to keep going. The bottom line is that everyone is struggling and that's why we all sought out a board like this. We joke that we read the message boards to stay out of the pantry, but it does sort of work that way. I feel fortunate that I've found a place like this.

Happy Friday everyone! Make it a good one.:flowerforyou:

    Here here!!

    I 100% agree with you Pam.

    I survived and did well before I found MFP...but the support I have here is something I know will help me reach my goal and STAY there.

    I have made such wonderful friends that I know will be in my life forever. How lucky are we???

    :heart: to all!!

    This place is one of joy and positive reinforcment. I know for myself I would have quit before now if not for MFP. The pounds aren't comming off... Im still stuck at 296... and here I thought obese people lost faster hmpff lol. BUT my jeans are fallin off even if the pounds aren't, so I know Im doing something right. Thank you all for the support and love and the giggles and laughs that make up my everyday. I am truly addicted , better MFP than food I say hehe :flowerforyou: Luvs ya all!

    Wow Pam I wish I could have said all that. I agree completely with you.
    I know somethings happed yesterday but we cant let a few spoil it.
    One thing to keep in mind is that a lot of people are on this site because they are unhappy and depressed with themselves and therefore a little on the edge. Sometimes I am sure sex talk and provacative pics just remind them of their unhappiness. All we are doing here is trying to cope with ourselves and work towards achieving a better us. The joking around is just to help us forget for awhile.

    I think this site has been an absolute shot in the arm for me (see pic :bigsmile: ). Have a great day all.

    I totally agree with you. Until yesterday I hadn't thought that we were being judged by each other by what we weigh. Thankfully it was just one bad apple trying to spoil the bunch, but we have proved that we won't be spoiled, and that is in thanks to all the wonderful supportive people here, that really don't judge!!
