It's Only What You Make It
Unfortunately I have heard severak times that the Kentucky Board is slow. Ever wonder why? Well a board is only as good as the contributors. Why not let everyone be who they are. We can be more helpful and less critical. If you feel a few are a click. Don't get mad, get your own click. Better yet, why care if some are closer than others. It happens.
To be honest we all have issues some of us even get a little jealous when one person loses more than we do, especially if we feel that they didn't work as hard. But so what.
So if you don't like the Kentucky board or the people on it, work harder to make it better.
We all are food addicts or we would never have been hear in the first place. We will not always agree or get along but let's just help one another get where we want to go.
That's my two cents.
Take care,

Well said Z. The only reason I come to the OH Ky Board is to help and receive help. I hope everyone else feels that way too because no matter what surgery we had, we are all in this together. I think I understand that more than ever after Chicago.
Good to finally meet you. BTW, change that avatar. You are much prettier that it is.

I must have missed something too. But then I've only been on the board about 6 months. The only issue I have with it is sometimes the regular posters get busy (they have lives too) and can't post all the time. That's the time that the rest of us who are sometimes lurking more than posting need to start getting busy and creative and post. I think some of us did step it up in the past week or two.
As far as cliques go, that is the impression I used to get at the beginning but that was because I didn't know anybody and I was kinda shy. I didn't put myself out there. When the regulars all know each other because they've gotten together at support group meetings in person and have get-togethers at some of their homes it might make newbies feel out of place like I did for a little while. But within a few weeks there were members that made sure I knew I was welcome too, they even invited me via this message board to come to their parties/cookouts, etc. I believe they welcomed EVERYONE. So if anybody feels left out, it's not intentional. There's not a mean person on here that I've encountered - everyone wants to help and everyone has been really supportive.
If someone HAS been critical then I agree - let's not do that to each other. But I believe 99% of the time members on here are positive and helpful. And I will never be jealous of someone's weight loss on here. Their young age, maybe! LOL But I know we all have different lifestyles, body weights and metabolisms and our goal is to get healthy. As long as we're traveling in the right direction that's the main thing. The rest is patience - and that IS hard. I have patience with other people a LOT more often than with my own self.
Let's hear it for our wonderful KY board members! Yeayyyyy!!!!

I'm sort of new around here, but have found people to be open and helpful. This week I wish there was more chat simply because I am recovering from surgery and pretty bored.... But I don't have much to chat about myself so I can't be critical :)
I must say I LOVE OH. I have learned so much here. I enjoy reading peoples's success stories. I skim through the posts both here and on the main board and read anything that might interest me. This is great!
