Just wanted to say I feel like I've met most of you personally, everyone is so caring and it really shows when everyone shares their true feelings.

I had signed up for some Yahoo Groups and OMG, talk about a lot of less than pleasant people. Not everyone mind you, but nothing like the comfort that goes on here.

Thanks to my new friends and supporters.

Warning, Pat, this forum is very, very addicting! LOL

I totally agree Pat!!! I think we all love this sight and pride ourselves about having a family type atmosphere. Best wishes to you, Teresa

Love you right back Pat, Teresa, Marie, Delarla, Donali, Michelle (both of them), Vera, Carol, Ryan, Jack, Ginny, Leatha, Babs, Megan, Becky, Betty, Blossom, and anyone else I have forgotten to mention.

I'm new to here also and have been on a few other sites. There are a lot of very unpleasant people out there! I'm here to learn and lose weight like the others so have no clue why there should be anger or hatefulness among us. We have enough problems with the world seeing us as fat slobs to be made fun of without treating each other like crap!

I agree! This site is wonderful! After I found it, I stopped looking at all the others because they made me uncomfortable. Just about all my research was done right here, and I feel as if I have made many new and important friends, as well!

Hi Pat..Remember Me?

My name is Michelle, we have corresponded a couple of time via email about Dr. Ortiz.

Glad to see you here! This place is so much different then the yahoo sites I agree with you 100%. You can feel the love here! Many on those other boards are not so friendly and you do not feel the connection with the members. We all support eachother , we are like family here...Hope to see you here often!

I am also addicted. I feel like if anything new has happened with the way I am feeling I must come right away and make sure someone else felt that way too. Everyone is so nice!

Yes Michelle, of course I remember you. You've answered my concerns many times, though not always directed to me, the information you've given to others has touched and consoled me as well.

Everyone here has a unique personality. There are the Mom's in us that shine through, the girls next door, (you know who you are), the guys that keep us company and enlighten us with knowledge, not to mention poems and often humor. There are those who just cruise the sites, but we know you're there, the numbers show it, LOL. Most of all it's obvious we all CARE about each other.

Thanks guys...I'll be counting on you to help me through Dec.
