Talking A Note to Newbies.

Welcome!

I thought I'd post a few hints to make it easier. (All you "oldbies" feel free to jump in!)

1. There is NO such thing as a "stupid question". We've all been confused at one point, so feel free to ask whatever's on your mind. However, it is really helpful if you read the book that corresponds to your particular plan. It's really hard to get enough information from a bulleting board to thoroughly explain the plan in a way that ensures success.

2. We're all here to help. If you feel you've been treated rudely, there's a "report post" link. 99% of people who post here are friendly and polite. We want what's best for you, but you don't need to tolerate being shamed, lectured, or ridiculed. We're all human, though, and have different styles of communicating. it's easy to be misunderstood online. Just something to keep in mind...

3. You can turn to us any hour of the day or night. There's usually SOMEBODY here. That's the greatest thing!

4. Remember, everyone loses at their OWN pace. We have some wonderful success stories here to learn from, but don't get down on yourself if your loss doesn't match theirs. What matters is feeling better, setting and achievng your OWN goals, and helping to cheer each other on.

I could go on and on...(and often DO!...LOL)
