On a serious note
So a few days back a got an anonymous email from someone apparently in the forum. Before today, I had posted an email address for my msn messenger posted in my profile.
The email basically said that now that I've lost most of the weight, maybe it's time I joined the fitness forum instead. The letter went on to state that they felt I was rubbing my success in their face.
I'm unable to reply to this person because there is no indication who it's from. The email was probably sent through a site such as anonymizer or something. Who ever wrote the email, I wish you would have given me the opportunity to reply in private, but you left me with no choice.
First off, I do want to apoligize to you. I can assure you I do not mean to rub my success in any person's face. In all honesty I am proud of my achievements, and I do think I've helped a lot of other people stay motivated within the forum. If and when other members come forward and what me to leave, I'll do so. I do feel that even when I reach my goal (which in all honesty is closer to 10 lbs away now) I can continue to be a possitive influence toward others.

Mike,
I am STUNNED that ANYone would send you an email like that! OK - the word isn't so much stunned, but APPALLED!
OK - I just had to erase everything I just typed because it was just down right mean....
To the person who wrote that email - perhaps if you spent more time working on your own issues, then you won't have to feel intimidated or jealous of people who have worked their asses off reaching their goal!
Mike, You are a HUGE inspiration to this forum.
When anyone reaches their goal, they are living testimony that it CAN be done! They are continual reminders that it is a constant work and a journey NOT merely a destination.
The emailer hiding behind anonymity is a coward and down right petty and rude.
Mike, that emailer CLEARLY does not speak for the entire forum!

I can only speak for myself but.. you have never given me the impression that you were trying to rub success in the face of anyone. You should be very proud of your achievements because you've worked soo hard for them. I'm motivated by your success because I know these goals I've set for myself are possible. If you leave Mikey I will be very very sad. 
Ps. I think you should put your story back in your profile.

m2m, and pequin,
Thanks for support, I appreciate it. I can assure you the only way the forum is going to get rid of me is if one of the moderators drags me out kicking and screaming

Good morning forumers lol
Woke up this morning in a panic... I slept in, so had no time to shower (although I showered last night at the gym), no time for breakfast, but I did have time to brush my teeth. Remember kids, oral hygene is very important. Brushing your teeth helps fight the the plaque and tarter which are known to cause GINGIVITUS. (I tend to stray off course)
As I was rushing out the door I managed to scarf down a banana, and yeh for me, I made it to work at the nick of time. No deduction in pay for this guy! *stands proud*

Hello Mike,
Wow I must of overlooked the whole "email"
comment! I can't believe someone would say something like that.
We read diaries to read about success as well as other's up's and
down's.I personally don't think of anyone on this site as rubbing
success or snotty ect in anyone's face!
I wouldn't worry about it sound's like 1 person that isn't haveing
any success and has to bring another down to make them feel good
about thierself!Anyhoot youi better not be thinking about going to
another diet forum site because you'll be missed bunches here !
Lol congrats on getting your teeth brushed atleast yesterday I had
to walk the kids to school and didn't even get a chance to brush my bed head, just through up in a ponytail and prayed no cuite people would be out lol!Have a gr8 Day Mike! Tammy

Holy moly about that email dude, thats just odd.
I mean i can understand the rubbing nose in it - ive seen a couple people who were in peak shape and never been out of it on here and ive just ignored them. but most definatly not you! Absolutly not!
Dont you even think about it! i need you to kick my ass into winning the race in 3 weeks!
Then I need you so I can kick YOUR ass in a race one day! lol
Keep up the fantastic work!
