Hey Mike,
welcome! There is a lot of new people and sometimes someone gets lost in all the posts, I am really sorry you didn't feel welcomed. For me it was hard sometimes when I write for 3 or 5 days and get no feedback at all... but then you know, this is something I am doinf for ME not for them, if they want to tell me I am doing good, then that is great, but I cannot count on people I don't know and for all I know have 2 million things to do at their homes to keep telling me how great I am doing and to keep me going.
This is for support but not compulsory support, and actually I am getting some support (I am fairly new because I came and left and now came back), enough to keep me going.
Again I am sorry you don't feel welcome, I hope it gets better and good luck with your weight loss, xxMilaxx
