1. No one should be telling me or anyone for that matter what they can and can't talk about. THANKS!
2. I didn't know there was a special moderator here.
3. Calorie counting IS a life change. My friend has been doing it for over 3 years and lost over 90 lbs. Now no, she didn't go through a "program," but she had the willpower to do it on her own. Unfortunately, I didn't. As I stated in my first post, Jenny Craig teaches you how to change your life and eat right...that is why I am at my midpoint weight beginning to rely not only on her food, but what I gradually bring in myself. I have learned a lot from that program and thought that if someone else needed help, they would benefit from hearing my story. And, I heard someone joined Weight Watchers. GREAT FOR YOU!!! That is a weight loss program too. It may be different, but it still helps. And if people need help, then they should be able to get it. Just like they are getting help from this forum. Will you be giving/getting support from these people for the rest of your life to aid in your loss? Highly unlikely.
4. I was told by a few people that the threads on here can, let's say, not be nice. So I'll tell you what I told them...I don't take anyone telling me what's right or wrong for me...and I'll let them know about it. I am a VERY nice person and will help anybody (have already tried to help about 3 or 4 people on here already with numerous things, and I just joined).
5. I thought my posts were VERY nice to everyone. I would NEVER EVER start any bull, but I will not take it either. Whether I am new or not. I came on here for info, and to make friends, not to be belittled by others by my beliefs/decisions.
6. Just because I am 29 does not mean I don't have a lot of knowledge in many areas. I do believe I have my master's degree..o yeah, I do.
7. I have some good news for you...don't worry, I won't be joining your weight loss club because if this is the "support" that your "members" will be getting, I hereby resign my membership.
8. For everyone who's doing their best to lose weight...good for you, I hope you all reach your goal no matter how you do it, but I would rather the positive support given elsewhere.
Good luck!
