Enough of the Complaining

I am tired of seeing all the posts lately where people are complaining about everything from the way the site is set up to people logging things wrong. I would like to point out some good things! (SHOCK OF ALL SHOCKS)

1) This is a FREE site that Mike made for people who are tryig to achieve what he did! It makes life easier

2) NO ONE is forcing you to be here

3) I have made some great friends and learned some great information (for FREE)

4) I now know that there are others out there fighting the same fight I am fighting. There is strength in numbers!!

5) I don't know of anywhere else that I can get a huge pat on the back for eating right and exercising EVERYDAY!!

Come on people!! This is and can be a great site to be at but you have to learn to overlook the rude people and move on. Chances are, if they are rude they won't be here for very long because this site is all about encouragement from others and if they are being rude they will not have support for very long.

If you post a BLog or a Topic EXPECT other people to read them and voice their opinions on it. Is that not what the purpose of a Blog and a Topic are? To get others points of veiw? If that's not what you want then I suggest you go get yourself a journal or a diary to write your personal thoughts in.

Stop complaining about what others are doing! I mean really! Are you them? Are you the one that is lying? Are you the one that is eating those things? NO so don't worry about it! Fight YOUR OWN fight and get encouragment when you need it! This is becoming worse than the dayhome I run! It's like everyone is tattling on everyone else and it gets tiring!

Despite the fact that you may run across some people with differing opinions then your own there are some GREAT people on here! Stay clear of the ones you don't see eye to eye with and absorb the good energy and motivation that abounds on this site!

What would the world be without a little diversity? Just because others are different doesn't mean we all need to turn into haters and complainers!

    tend to agree with this.

    I just ignore the complaining, their loss if they don't just move on to something that works better for them.

    Amen! Especially the part about being offended in blogs/posts. If you're easily offended...it's probably not a feature you should use. =)

    Thank you! I LOVE this site! The free part is so amazing because of the extensive ways it adapts to individuals. There are other sites out there that either aren't free or don't adapt. Thank you for touting the great things about it!

    Best post I've read on these forums and sums up exactly how I feel.

    We're all in this together!

    Group hug anyone? :)
