[Guest guest]

Sharon,

I am new to this group but have belonged to many weight loss groups in the last

couple of years. From my experience, people are reaching out for support and

this is one of the things that happen in all the groups I have been a part of.

People want to get recognized for the HARD work they are doing. I know it is

very important to me. That is why I seek out supporting weight loss groups.

5K's or how many pounds they have lost, etc. very competitive. We are not all

runners, wo do not all lose at the same rate, etc. and I get tired of opening

posts that says 'I lost a pound', open another post that says 'That's great',

yada, yada, yada.

This is all wasted time to me and I am very seriously thinking about dropping

the group as there doesn't seem to be anyone talking about the problems a person

with a weight problem has or how to overcome it, etc. Don't mean this negative;

just stating some posts I get real tired of. If we lose, that is great, but

can't we share it with our family or close friends.
