I have been members of many different messageboards. All have been filled with negativity and arguments over opinion. I have yet to see one negative comment on this board and I love it. To me this is an expression of what exercise and this type of attitude can do not only for the body but also the spririt and mind. Just wanted to give everyone a pat on the back. Oh and the total loss now is 191 pounds, Im hoping to make it 200 by my one year anniversery mark on June 18th.

Julia, wow, congrats on your tremendous acheivement. 191 lbs in a year??? That's fabulous!

I love this board, too - I've also read a lot of different message boards and this one is the most respectful of everyone's different opinions, goals and acheivements as any board I've ever seen. I may not get a chance to post much but it always gives me a lift coming here. Glad to see you!

I agree totally, a lot of the boards out there are filled with ignorant people who simply cannot stand being wrong. Everyone here has an opinion, BUT, we are able to talk and agree or disagree like adults. I am sure a lot has to do with what an awesome job the owners AND our moderators are doing by keeping it an awesome forum to discuss health topics in a fun and professional manner. And congrats on your achievements, keep up the great work.

I agree with you about the boards. Everyone is able to put across their "differing" opinions without it turning into a mutiny. Makes it a lot healthier and happier for everyone using the site.
Also, big congratulations on your weight loss. It's stories like this that help to keep everyone else on the right track.
Good luck for the anniversary. I'm sure you'll make it.
