negative posters

[kline1972]

I have read many posts on this website, with most being positive and friendly. There is however some moderators/admirals here who are constantly pessimistic to others. I don't find this helpful or encouraging. I wish everyone here good and want everyone to reach the results they desire. Yes we all share our hopes, goals and ideals here, but don't forget diets and weight are a very personal thing and negative energy or the so called "tough love" is not nice. So please if you can't post something functional or positive please refrain from posting. Maybe the negative people here didn't find the happiness from weight loss they expected- hmmm.. just wondering....

Re: negative posters

Well at first it may come across as negativity! But in reality, these ppl are being 100% honest about the diet and what it takes to succeed!!! If it wern't for some of these negative comments, I may have crashed out before I even began!
I see your point, but sometimes you have to be hard about the facts to really GET this diet!!

Re: negative posters

Kline, I'm sorry that you feel that reminding people that Atkins has 4 phases comes off as negative. I don't see it that way. People can take or leave the advice not to stay in Induction until goal, but it is only responsible to let members know that Atkins is not just about losing the weight as fast as you can... it's about gaining the knowledge and skills it takes to maintain that loss for a lifetime. As someone who lost the weight and reached goal, I can sincerely say - losing the weight is the easy part. Maintaining that loss for years - NOT SO EASY!

Re: negative posters

Kline, Let's not go there again.
It seems you are not happy unless you bring this subject up every few weeks and get everyone all mad at each other.
Of course, this is an open forum and it is your right to do so,

but everyone, you may agree or disagree with Kline,
but let's all just have a great positive day, and instead of this leading to a big fight as usual, and everyone getting their blood all boiling, let's all go somewhere else and spread positive thoughts to everyone.

Disputing this point always leads to nothing but ANGER.
Let's spread some happiness!


(IMHO)


Smile and everyone have a great Friday and a Great Weekend!

rs. Maybe the negative people here didn't find the happiness from weight loss they expected- hmmm.. just wondering....

I disagree I think that they have found great success, and want the same for everyone else, which is why they are truthful and blunt!!

I couldn't have said it better! Let's not start the day getting our feathers ruffled and bringing down the energy of the board.

Kline, you speak of wanting to keep the board positive... I don't think starting threads like this achieves that. If you have an issue with a particular member or post, please take it up with a Mod or Administrator privately.

Re: negative posters

Oh but I am happy and not negative. I have had great success on this diet and haven't had to do it through negative energy. I think the biggest point about Atkins ,after the chemistry aspect of the diet, is to eliminate guilt association from food. Also to learn self discipline that will lead to a life long pattern of better eating and weight control. Also notice I did say most people here are positive,friendly and encouraging

Hey Q-

The sun is shining out here, but it is a little chilly, how about you? It is a sunny 27 degrees, and it was almost 70 last week!!!!

Re: negative posters

I posted a similar thread a while back and it was locked.

The fact is, those of us who ask that people, even the "straight talkers", do so in a manner that doesn't leave others feeling abused.

While several others responded in agreement, the "straight talkers" took control of the conversation and it was then locked.

Some very nice people, in this thread have emphasized the need to keep the mood positive and sunny. But they forget, those who get "told like it is" tend to have there day a little less sunny than those who do the telling.

Why not tell it like it is, while being supporting and positive instead of being hurtful to others?

Hopefully, my agreeing with you doesn't get your thread locked too!

Re: negative posters

Threads are usually locked when they turn into personal attacks.

I'm really hoping that this one doesn't go there.

Remember, people - you have an ignore feature. Members have different styles of writing... if you don't like a certain person, don't read their stuff.
