I'm torn apart by what is happening on this board.

I hope you don't leave! Normally I try to ignore "those" posts and move onto more positive ones (many of which involve you!) but I'm ashamed to admit that this past weekend I had enough of it and make a couple of remarks.

I really don't know why people feel the need to be so hateful and full of spite in a place that is meant to offer help and support.

But I do know if you were to leave here then the board just wouldn't be right.

Cheers

Mary, Please don't leave our board. You have done sooooo well and been such an inspiration for all of us. We don't want to lose you. Please don't let a few people ruin this for you ( and if you leave us it will ruin this board for us, too).

Hang in there!

Mary, hang in there ok? I would hate to see you leave but I could also understand why. I guess some of us are just used to it by now and maybe that is why its easy for us to get "involved" like we are doing.

But....you are losing weight, you are doing great and I think you need to stay here! I think we need your smiling face, big dreams and tapping feet as much as you need to to hear us say "Go Mary!" The others are right, the board would not be right if you left!

So all I can suggest is to talk to Joyce, let her know what you think and stay with us :) I wouldnt be happy with any other result.

Mary - I am coming out of lurkdom for this one. I hope you don't leave, although I can understand how you feel. I stopped posting for just the reason you want to leave, and believe me, I was here all the time back a while ago.

I just want to let you know that I read your posts good and bad times you have, and I just warm up to you b/c I can relate. You make me smile with your sincerity and your success you are having now is just unbelievable. I saw you go from a shy, uncomfortable poster to someone who knows what to do and when to do it! You are woman, hear you roar! That's how I feel about you. I can only hope someday, that there is a bit o' Mary Ladyirish in us all!

Good luck to you and I hope you don't leave and even if you do...I will always think of you!

I just wanted to apologize for everything that's going on here.
