I know, it's really quiet these days. There were some personality conflicts, and then some server issues, and I guess people just never came back. And then some real long-time folks just disappeared (Jo and Lizabette, in particular).

But welcome back!

Yes, I had hoped for more of a cheering section as a restarter. I used to get on here daily, and it was so nice. Now, everyone is quiet.

What is the server issue?

I know I've had emails sitting in my outbox for a day or so.

Thank you Robin!

Well we are just going to have to keep this place going. I know I loved the support last time.

There always are personality conflicts, I've had some of my own. But looks like we can start from fresh now! lol

Just one question...how do personality conflicts even become a part of a forum where we are all here to lose weight?

This is a great program, if you follow it as you are supposed to. If I don't, that's my problem.

My plan is to be compliant and not blame anyone but myself for falling short.

Please keep it going. I need everyone's help to get to my goal.

AMEN

I guess because people share their life, not just having MF in common. So of course we all have different views, that's what makes the world go around, however caused drama sometimes also.

Exactly, Sharon. Even just in the weight-loss stuff, people's feelings can get hurt. It happens, with so many different personalities around.

As for the server issues, they're over. But there was some horrible slowness that lasted a couple of weeks, and I think some folks wandered off and never came back.

Plus it's also summer. Things start hopping every year in January when everyone starts their new diet, and then kinda slow down again when they give up.

There were some folks on here that were pretty brash in their comments.

Also, the journals were being used as conversations instead of as a journal regarding the weight loss and a some folks were offended by things that were said in some personal journals (we still need to adhere to the fact that this site is hosted by TSFL Health Coaches and they represent Medifast and TSFL).

That said, we've had some folks leave, some take a break, the server issue caused some folks to leave for a bit and seems they never made it back. There are always folks who get off program and stop coming here. Hopefully we can get this thing going again.

Perhaps you can help us ladies?

OK, I NEVER criticize grammar outside of my job, but ... that last part really would work better with a comma before the last word. :lol:

Now that is a revelation. We even stayed in the same room together and I didn't notice....:)

When I first did MF a couple of years ago, yes, this place was a madhouse! It is definitely a lot quieter, but there is still a good level of support. I still manage to find someone to kick my butt into gear when I am having a rough day. :shock:
