Yesterday, I made a mistake. The wonderful quote was from our team member @readyornot1234.
Dear Ready, I apologize and thank you so much for your wonderful post.

Wow O! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
It's sure a pleasure to celebrate with you in this forum.
Please permit me to appreciate you on behalf of us all in this forum.
I am sure I am speaking for most people, especially those of us who have been in this group for a long time.- Your dedication has made it exciting to be here each day.
- Your motivational quotes are very helpful reminders of why we are here.
- Your warmth is very permeating. The group is the most welcoming and involving group in MFP
- You include everyone. Winners and consistent loggers, even those who log in for few days
- This is the most successful group in MFP because of your management and dedication. There is a purpose, there is a goal and there is a process of achieving that goal. There is a proven method to achieving the goal.
- Track everything
- Stay within your daily allocated calories
- Exercise for at least 20 minutes
Some people touch and impact people in big ways. But some people touch and impact people everyday and empower/facilitate people to change their destiny and their family destiny. You have been doing that in this group.
Congratulations to you and Rose for your 70th birthday. Many happy returns and God's blessing and prosperity.

And I’ll add:
@RangerRickL
You & UAC have enabled me to lose this last final pounds over 4-5 months & to maintain my 70lb+ weight loss for nearly 2 years this month. *happy tears in eyes*
I’ve been obese since Jr year of high school with two loving, awesome obese parents. Crohn’s, kidney disease, workaholic, chronic restaurant eater (often all meals).
All the odds stacked against me.
But now, because of you & the successes of folks in UAC at maintenance, I’ve realized it’s NOT impossible and it’s NOT (for me) harder than weight loss.
You are an angel 😇 on earth, truly. I am delighted & proud to have you as a dear friend. Happy Birthday!!! As I have always said, “Age is just a number. I know young people who seem “old” and “set in their ways” & 85 year olds who have an attitude towards life of liveliness & curiosity, As well as a drive for connectivity often associated with youth.”
Happy Birthday to you, the youngest 70 year old I know!
And remember, “it’s not the number Of years that matters, but the number of moments that take our breath away!” With Rose & your beloved extended family, I know you have countless such moments.
With Love & Gratitude,
Maddie 💞💞9 -

@MadisonMolly2017 I loved your beautiful, heartfelt comments.
About editing your posts: if you refresh the page within 1 hour of your post, then the edit button usually appears -- at least, that's how it works for me. I can't edit anything ever without hitting refresh. Hope this helps!
