Thank YOU!

I just wanted to say Thanks to ALL of you on the December board. I had a bad weekend last weekend and had some issues with some temporary weight gain and was embarrassed to show my issues but you guys were more than caring and understanding.. you opened your arms and you hugged me. I don't know how much you can really understand JUST how much this means to me everyone... go**** just brings such tears of happiness to my eyes to know that I can come here and not be judged or scolded.. that I will be loved and cared for. What a *WONDERFUL* message board we have here.. I love you guys so much.. so thanks.. thanks a million for being there for me and most importantly for each other! You guys ROCK! (((((Group Hug)))))

YES YES YES how I do understand! How many times have I messed up and you all always welcome me back and have always been so supportive and understanding. It is only giving back all that you have given us. You have done so very well. You have passed the 100 mark which is where i am praying to get to. You will get back on track I know you! So you had a gain, just have to work a bit harder this week, Hugs back to you have a great week, we are here for you Kelly

Thanks Kelly, that means so much and I know you will get past the 100 mark soon.. we are here to help you make that dream come true.. thanks for being so awesome! *hugs*

We could have a confession post just to throw it all out there on the table and no matter what anyone confesses to, I have no doubt that everyone on this board would support them in any way they could. Melissa- do you know why I don't post on your daily eating posts? Because I eat like crap! Compared to you I felt like I was failing. Now, that you have admitted to making mistakes just like the rest of us I do not feel so guilty. So, your confession did not and would not result in flaming or anything like that, it results in positive feelings and support. At least on this forum. I started smoking after surgery. I just quit a couple months ago. I know I can tell you guys this and you will not flame. Last night I had some potato chips and this morning I had two hershey's kisses! Am I worried about not being supported on here? Not at all! Neither should you. You are here for us the same way we are here for you. This is the ONLY message board on this site that is completely supportive and caring and the only one I post to regularly. The people here are wonderful.

Awe sweetie... never feel like you are "failing" this is life.. we will all have our ups and downs and I am glad you feel you can post now. You are right this board just doesn't judge and is so open and honest with each other.. its a great great thing. Yes the people are wonderful, fully agree and you are a big part of why it is so wonderful Thanks for being a great friend. *hugs*

I've popped around on a few boards just like everyone here and found that there's "No Place Like Home". Older MBs have gone silent long ago. Hopefully we can last the test of time together. We have a lifetime of managing our weight in front of us. Doing it together and sharing our highs and mis-steps makes this MB strong... and a great pillow to land when you need it soft! (((((Group Hug)))))

But...our landing pillow is getting bonier and bonier every month as we keep losing weight. We've got so many people getting close to onederland and getting near goal. Over time it may get a bit crunchy to land here. LOL Molly

True.. very true! Ah more bones.. gotta love it!

Yes, this board is so strong, I am so proud of us for all the traffic it gets and the way we keep the fire alive.. we are awesome!

all I have to say is that we are all in the same boat and are here to help each other out thru good and bad times. Hughs and more hughs. Beatriz
