Kind Words About Sopers...
From Sweet 'Lurkers'...
Hi SOPERS! I'm an oldbie, although I've been away from WW for a while. I've been lurking on your thread for a couple months and I just feel really compelled to let you all know that you are a really wonderful and a big inspiration. Even on your bad days, there's always such a positive, knuckle-down and "git r done" vibe. Being honest with yourself and others about your daily struggles is really tough to do. It's really made me look at what I'm doing and I've identified the personal changes I need to make in order to start the scale going down again. AND I've managed to kick a lifetime soda habit. "clean" for 2 months this week! And I really have been reading your thread for moral support. So I just wanted to say THANK YOU for your tough, but positive support of each other... it really is motivating for anyone who reads it! " GINUNIT (Ginny) 04/28/10

"Hi, i can really relate to your feelings of wanting to just give up....unfortunately i don't have any words of wisdom, but like the other posters, you just have to get to that place in your head where it is all about YOU doing this....there is a group on this 'out of control' board called SOP (seriously on plan)....they have a regular group of posters there. i am not one of them, i just lurk, but if you are looking for tough love, serious criticism in a helpful way, go there.....read them for a few days first to see if you can emotionally handle them...i mean that in a good way....they really do support each other...including suggestions, comments on meal plans, criticisms, etc, they might help you out....they allow no whining, no excuses, they are really serious, and their stats show it....they have gotten 'pinged' a few times from other boards who don't seem to agree with their methods, but to each his own....i read them faithfully and am always amazed by something.....some days they have 60-70 posts on there....people come and go after they realize they cannot handle the 'truth' but there are many faithful followers over there....just a suggestion, and really hon, good luck to you....your stats show you have come so far, it just is not worth giving it up now..."
