Come on guys! Surely some of you can think of things to write that are great about this board! I'll start.
When I came here for the first time, just over a year ago, I was feeling pretty low and looking for people who understood where I was coming from...actually where I'm STILL coming from. The support and advice I have received has been so wonderful.
I have made quite a few "internet" friends because of Ivillage and this board! I love coming here everyday and seeing what my friends are up to, seeing what everyone is doing, sharing a laugh, or a triumph or lending a shoulder or sharing some tribulations. This is a great place because of the women who are here!
The 100+ board has always been a great place for me to come to because we all understand what each other is going through. Its also a place for a reality check, when all my excuses are used up....and everyone reminds me what it really takes to get fit! I appreciate everyone's honesty, support, comfort and humor. I don't think I could have come this far without this board. Even if I don't post, I come every day to see how everyone is doing and get my dose of motivation!
I am new to this board and am SOO glad that it is here. It is a uniique board in that all the people here are looking to lose 100lbs or more. The other boards I looked at had people lamenting over the 10 lbs. they plan to lose in the next year. I found it difficult to relate. On this board, we all have a long haul ahead of us. I am truly grateful that I can come here.
Seeing the struggles, challanges, and success other people are having is what keeps me going on. I realise I am not the only one with struggles and issues. Alone I can get discouraged and might give up, but when i visit here and read the posts, I know I can keep going on.
