Thank you kindly.....

Thank you kindly for all your responses, I'm so glad you are not upset. And no, I haven't received any PMs in reference to my post. I just thought about it and realized that some people could have misunderstood my words.

Though, I want to thank from the bottom of my heart, those who kindly share their fascinating weight loss journey because their powerful stories and drastic transformationshave inspired me so much. I hope that they keep their profile public to keep motivating new users like myself. I also want to thank those with private profiles who had showed so much confidence offering me their friendship.

And to those who keep their private profiles but who take their time to answer questions so fully here every day or as often as they can, it is so good to know that there are people as generous as you with their time to answer questions that others ponder on alone for so long. You've made me consider my options and I'm really grateful for your time, supportive words and original thoughts.

I've got to admit that I never look at profiles on OH, so I have no idea what this is all about :)  

I was reading many profiles because I was undecided about having surgery.

Interesting!  I've stuck to forums and blogs for that.  I find the OH blog/profile interface to be pretty bad, so I don't bother with it most of the time.
