To a disgruntled blogger
I hope I’m not out of line here but I felt the need to comment on a blog I read a few days ago from what seemed to be a disgruntled blogger. The writer claimed that this site seemed to be too much like myspace and nobody answered your questions anyway. I beg to differ. Since I registered on this site, I have been encouraged, welcomed, and educated by some very kind people whom I’ve never even met! For example: two awesome ladies responded rather quickly back to me..one answered me back after I commented about her lost progress pics and she was encouraging..and the other responded to me twice with encouragement and nutritional info. I don’t communicate much here as I don’t want to labeled an interloper, and I really don’t know anyone, but after a long day of taking care of kids, household duties and much errand running, its a pleasure to sit down in the evening and read what others have to say. From what I’ve read, these people here are funny, entertaining, serious, supportive, intense, and sometimes even sad, frustrated or dramatic at times. But one constant remains the same..when someone needs something no matter what it is, there always appears to be someone close at hand to fulfill that need. So..I’m not quite sure what the bloggers issue was…maybe a bad day, tired whatever..give the writer the benefit of the doubt..my suggestion therefore is maybe you should try giving someone another opportunity to answer your inquiries and not pass judgement on those that have only your best intentions at heart. It’s not always about you. Have a great day and thank you again to those who have welcomed me, encouraged and educated me! Hope to hear from you soon!

I agree with you. I have found the people on BB.com to be very helpful. What I particularly like is the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle. I suppose there can be some real jerks on here. You have to be careful that the one bad apple doesn’t spoil the whole bunch. I suppose it won’t be for everyone. I like it! I love my bb.com friends. We seem to have a lot in common.

I enjoy this site as well. There are a lot of serious fitness minded individuals here.
I'’ve only came across one rude person but thank goodness for the blocking button.

I’ve gotten nothing but positive feedback from everyone that I’ve communicated with on these boards. Hopefully I’ve encouraged someone at the same time, because at the end of the day that’s what I’m here for. To motivate, and to be motivated and encouraged. Hopefully that person will give it another try!
