    I've realized most people in these groups tend to attack those who maybe don't post as much or who they think they can say whatever and that's it. This started because I was laughed at because I wanted to join a weight loss group then some lady became sarcastic.. But I know better ;) So now, I just laugh it off and continue to do what I came here to do.. Get knowledge, lose weight, and fit into my wedding dress! And I hope everyone else does the same (except he wedding dress part)

    I have to admit back in November I was running two groups and i had to leave MFP for 4-5 months at a very short notice to to work and personal circumstances. I am amazed at how people welcomed me back.. but at the same time I am truly sorry and have remorse for leaving some people hanging

    It was the longest 4-5 months of my MFP life!! :sad: :sad: Glad you are back.

    But to stay on topic. OP, find a reliable group that has been around awhile and find friends who are committed. You do not need a group to get you going. True motivation comes from within yourself. Good luck. :flowerforyou:

    I generally find that the most lasting, and inspirational groups are the ones where people post their noodz. None of them will let me in anymore though.

    You should start your own group for that.

    I mean, *I* won't join...

    ...but maybe you can trick...er, I mean, persuade others to join?

    I'm just throwing out some ideas here...I hate to see you depressed like this.

    As if you haven't already sent me a TB drive's worth. 10/10 would not invite.

    That's fair.

    Thought maybe you had a hard drive crash or something...

    ...as if you didn't back that 10/10 every night and twice on Sundays material up in the cloud already.

    I'm just curious about this because I joined up with a group just over two weeks ago, maybe 90 members. Some of us were doing daily weigh-ins, 10 days ago about 7 did them, today is the third day in a row where I've been the only poster on the daily weigh-in thread. I'm not exactly sure why this is, the group is for people with not much to lose, so you'd think it would be reasonably active.

    People lose interest in weight loss, I get that, but have you noticed a pattern?

    DAILY weigh-ins? Maybe they all died of boredom.

    Or maybe it was your charming, welcoming personality. "Ha ha. Classic."

    The group in the OP could literally be the pee drinking group, we wouldn't know...

    i don't think she realizes she's not posting in a group forum.


    among other issues she may have.
