So...Normally I LOVE this site and all the positive energy that comes from it, but sometimes I have seen that someone will post a great topic or success story and only one or two people will comment even though hundreds of people view the post. What gives? :huh:

For example, I posted that I had hit my half way point, and only one person commented.

Thanks for reading!

    Idk. I think that most people reply to posts if you are their friend because it shows that you posted a topic on the news feed. Not sure.

    I think you're right on about the friends thing. Also, if you look at most threads, the number of viewers is way higher than the number of posts.

    Sometimes, when you post at night, the threads don't get seen as much. And by the time morning comes it gets pushed down because there are so many other topics posted.

    But, congrats on getting your halfway goal! I'm sure it's an incredible feeling!

    I am so proud of you. :happy: I wish I was there already. Looks like you have just about the same amount of weight to lose that I do. maybe we should buddy up and motivate each other.

    I am new to this site, and so far I am just getting to know the features. Hope to hear from you soon. Keep up the great work!!!

    I know for me, it really is hit or miss. I don't have a lot of time to go searching the forums and tend to just read things that come up on the main page section.

    I do want to say CONGRATULATIONS on your weight loss and keep up the great work! I am going to send a friend request so i can keep tabs on you :-)

    Take care

    I have experience that myself also. I thought that my friends would reply to my posts but sometimes they don't. It can and has been disheartening to me. I have to pick it up and keep moving on. I know the couple of friends that will post on all my updates and that is what counts! I will do the same for them and know that they will appreciate it. :bigsmile:
