I posted the article not to offend anyone just to share some info I felt was useful. I had no intentions to hurt anyones feelings. I only post stuff that I feel might help someone and someone else may get something useful from it and As I recall I have never recieved such negative comments about my posts before.I feel the above quote was directed at me and in my defense I am a different woman from it and I am not acting as if I am finding a cure for cancer but I know how I felt 35+ pounds ago. I can remember when I first came here last year I was looking for any information that I can and I would read posts like these or some of the members would answer my questions I had and it has brought me so far. I am just repaying a favor to someone else who might be in the shoes I was in last year. Gosh I just thought I was helping out, Tammy edited to add that I am not the one who posts a post to just b i t c h about what others are saying or posting about. I agree you should feel good about yourself at any weight but to be honest it is so hard to do in todays society. I am not saying that it is right but why are we all here in the first place....for support and motivation and I didn't think that the women who lost weight were suddenly banned or shouldn't try to pass on useful information here or offer words of encouragement. Hmmmm...well I wonder if this is why so many of the older phensters do not come around anymore
