I thank God for you people

I was cruising thru another LC forum today and I have never seen people be so mean, nasty and hateful to each other!

I found this forum when I first started this WOE and I am so glad, because everyone of you have been supportive and helpful. If I had hit that other forum first, I would be eating a Wonder Bread and fried potato sandwich right now.

A BIG thanks to all of you
God Bless

Me too - the challenges I have set myself in this forum have kept me on track this time.

I reward myself every day by updating my 'cheat free' logo. Every time I'm tempted to cheat, I think, "is it worth going back to Cheat Free for 0 days?" and the answer is NO!!!

Odd motivation I know, but it's working atm so will stick with it!!!

We must thank our moderators. They make all of the difference in enforcing respectable conversations. They do not allow them to get out of hand and they keep topics on the appropriate sites. Other forum moderators could learn alot from our moderators.

Great thread, Mary!

I am very thankful indeed for this great forum, for its members, founders and moderators. It is worth it for me to pay the $25 a year as a vested interest. Somehow belonging, investing, holds me more accountable (I would've spent $12 a WEEK at WW)!

Mary and everyone: If you are interested, we have an ongoing monthly buddies thread. We began it in September. This month it's called "Friendly October Challenge". We'll start Nov thread on Saturday. It is a GREAT group of people who work towards losing 4-8# each month, with something special besides. This month it is writing a letter or postcard to someone who needs to be thanked for something, or just an "I'm thinking of you today". The remarks have been so uplifting! Our challenge for Nov will be 4-8# loss for the month and sharing a favorite recipe of whatever you want.

Mary I tried to PM you about this but your PM box is too full to receive.

Everyone....keep up the great work and positive, honest comments!
Blessings, Annie-Pie

Yes, three cheers for the moderators.
This is such an excellent site...I haunted a few before I spoke up on this one, because I kept coming back again and again. Ya'll are a great bunch.

Nah, the forum wouldn't be here without YOU guys. We have the task of picking up the "rubbish", as the analogy in the forum rules go, but those posts are an extreme minority. There are so many knowledgable, friendly, fun people here... you guys make our job easy.
