That all of you whiners and excuse makers ran off someone that I looked up to.
You all have your group and those that didn't quite get there and are angry at those that dare to step up and say I made it. WOW are we in high school hating on the high school cheerleader all over again?
Shame on you all................. for someone that was striving for perfection to hold her weight and do it the right way. Shame on you for overreacting in your tiny little worlds of underachieving.
You all stopped losing because your f'ing up... you know it I know it and she knew it.
Stop your whining... look in the mirror and stop hating on someone that gave information and said NO I wont accept weight gain.. good for you all....
You won. I for one will NOT contribute a single morsel of information to people that will whine about it and toss it out.
I'm moving on as well... I am a good friend of Linda Anne's and have grown to know her...
To all the newbies.. follow the "norm" of the board and your setting yourself up for failure. Follow the rules and prepare to be a WLS success.
WOW.. how petty can a bunch of women be... like cats at a bowl of milk.
Shame on you

You took the words right outta my mouth!!! AND may I add were DEAD ON!!!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!
I hope we can meet someday, as I too cherish Linda and all the advice she gave me, all the words of truth that helped me get to goal!!! This board has lost one amazing lady.....*sigh*

You are what you EAT and WHO you hang out with! Choices=Outcome~ what's YOUR choice??
I'm not perfect but I am going to die trying!!!
Wow.
I must have missed the running off post, and I keep a pretty close eye on this board and have for about 6 years now.
Maybe a private message to the ones who pissed you off is in order rather than a finger wagging to us all?
Enlighten me. Or not.

It's better to be imperfectly happy than perfectly unhappy.
She's not finger wagging to us all............those to whom she are KNOW who they are and most likely will not reply to this post so that means your safe..........
You've been on the boards long enough so you should know and agree that one's success at WLS is in how they use their tool. ANd you should also know that if someone is successful that they shouldn't be made to feel bad because they fight every day to not gain back and remain a success rather then let one little slack lead to 20 pounds....just saying. SO in her defense and in the defense of the one ran off...THIS NEEDED to be publicized!
No offense to you....just thought I'd fill ya in

Mind your own business.. I don't see your name on that post so back down little man.
Oh I'm not leaving.. I'm just not helping anyone anymore.. but trust me I'm still lurking.
In the meantime...way to "Not contribute to the drama"
Good job now........... your dismissed

I agree with Lori & Paul on this one. "All" to me indicates everyone that participates on this board. Clearly not all participated in the posts that lead to someone leaving the boards. Nor are we all whiners or excuse makers! I know that I'm not and I know many others who are not!!
I agree that Linda Anne is inspriational and has so much to offer to these boards. I'm disappointed that she decided to leave the boards. I have learned alot from her in the time that I have been on my journey. I admire her for striving for perfections on her journey.
However, I think we all need to remember that we all are entitled to our opinions and thoughts whether we agree with them or not. I do not believe that anyone ran anyone off the boards that is a choice that was made by that person. We all make choices and no one can make them for us.
I try not to get involved in these conflicts that happen on the boards but this post really makes me upset. This post seems very high school to me.
