...WWers unceremoniously let their message board users know that they were shutting us down. Unwilling to lose the community that had been created, users fled to Proboards, MFP, LoseIt and FB. Some stayed with WW Connect. Others walked away completely. I'm personally grateful to DebDoesWW for creating this board when our first board owner changed her mind. This community, along with the GDT and my WW Facebook friends have allowed me to stay connected with people I really came to care about in my years on the message boards. Happy Anniversary.

Happy Anniversary! I was not very vocal on the other boards but definitely read them. itsrad, I know you are one of the moderators with DebDoesWW and I appreciated both of your efforts. Nosey rosey here wants to know if you know each other personally.

lmenglish, DebDoesWW and I did not know each other when this all started other than occasional conversations on the message board. We are FB friends now! We needed to spend a lot of time chatting when the board owner did her sudden flip on the other board and basically told us to gather up our group and depart.

Thank you to DebDoesWW & itsrad for keeping the boards and alive and well. I consider the boards a major part of my support system for maintaining my weight loss. I've learned so much from all of you and the inspiration and motivation are immeasurable. **Big hugs**

DebDoesWW & itsrad
Thanks for picking up the guantlet when the original board creator threw it down. It was unsettling enough to have to leave the WW web site and move to a new board the first time, but the two of you made the transition for the new board to this "new new" board seamless and painless for all of us.
Thanks for all you do in the background to keep this machine running smoothly. Our little community here is so much nicer than the WW boards ever were, and the feature set here is so much better than WW's clunky technology.
Happy Anniversary everyone!

I don't generally post here but occasionally read the general discussion board, but I wanted to add my words of thanks to Deb and itsrad for this wonderful board. Really, really appreciate your work and letting my regular group, repeat offenders, stay together after WW threw us out. This is a supportive, fun place and without it my weight loss efforts would have completely tanked. Happy anniversary to all of us and heartfelt thanks.

Thanks itsrad and DebDoesWW! I don't hang out as much as I used to, but that's a life choice from me and not that you two haven't done a great job. Since I'm not on FB, I definitely like being able to see friends I wouldn't see anywhere else. Thanks!

Thanks, everybody. I really wasn't trolling for compliments. Just feeling a bit sentimental when I got the notice on FB that Deb & I have been friends for one year.

Oh GEEZ itsrad thanks for totally making me speechless. And thank you everyone for the kind words. I can't believe it has just been a year it seems so long ago! Rad has been truly invaluable and kept me sane through that last board folks, if it wasn't for her I would have been banned a long long time ago and these boards never would have been possible because I wouldn't have been able to get the word out 🤣 keshet51 that is what these boards are about, we wanted everyone to be able to stay together, I am so glad everyone has been able to do that! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY EVERYONE!!!
