Aloha and welcome, Don🤙🏼 I joined FS in Aug 2019 and found it can be a great forum for encouragement, support, and tools to find what works to successfully reach weight loss goals. I checked out member profiles and followed those who are consistent, focused, and health minded instead of those who just use FS for a personal diary, popularity contest, or social outlet. You're at the start of your journey...be encouraged to push through from red to orange and beyond because YOU deserve your best life! Btw, NICE drop😊 

Congrats! Love that your knees aren't hurting.  

Right on Don! Slow and steady as she goes! You are killing it man and adding days to your life! Above all don’t injure your body at this critical time. No setbacks! 😇 

👋Don, I hope u don't mind that I address Celtic's comments on ur journal since they're directed to me. If u do mind, then u can delete🤙 

Celtic, it would be appropriate for you to address me on your own journal post or perhaps in a PM. That said, I suppose I should be flattered that you're spending your time reading ALL my comments to other members, BUT tbh, it's disturbing. I actually take the time to read other profiles and, along with general welcoming comments, I add specific words for each individual as I follow their posts. As you have probably noticed in my profile, I am very discerning and purposeful about who I follow and who I accept as followers. Also, I have no other social media presence so I certainly don't have a platform and I'm definitely not interested in "collecting" followers. I believe I care enough about other people who come to FS for true acceptance, empathy (not sympathy), and support AND to forewarn them of my experiences and observations about other members who use FS to commiserate about personal problems and make excuses as to why they can't be consistent about achieving their weight loss goals on a Calorie Counter and Diet Tracker for Weight Loss site. Ultimately, everyone has the gifts of choice and free will; going forward, I hope that you use those gifts wisely to reach your own goals. 

I second what CelticPhoenix has said. acomondr you are the old who follows people that you don't like so that you can start some kind of argument. Go away! 

👋🏽Ireland...you have emerged as well. Please know that you too can address me on your own journal post or perhaps in a PM, instead of on someone else's journal🤙🏼 

Don, gotta love that green down arrow! Be mindful, keep focused, and stay the course to reach YOUR goals🤙🏼 

That’s great, Don! One step at a time. 🎉 

That’s so great!! 💪☺️💜💚
