StrayCat58's Journal, 02 Jun 18

Don’t give up on Fat Secret! It IS a great community. Keep posting and make sure you check “everyone” as to who’s journals you want to see and not “featured”. I haven’t been around too much but hopped on just now and saw your post. Hi! 👋 See...you’re not invisible after all. 😜. 

I journal. I upload pics. I weigh in every other week. I update my food diary almost daily. The other day I updated my food diary for 4 day, submitted a recipe and nothing posted. This is the first post in a long time that has actually appeared. I have emailed FS without any help from them on the subject. I see post after post of support for others and cannot help but feel "cheated" somehow even though it costs me nothing in my membership. I joined for the support. 

Love this community, make friends with me I check it daily. 

I can see you post! Click a button to "follow" people and you will get responses. 

It does matter. I see you. I’ll support you. I had my setting on ‘me’ not ‘everyone’ for a long time. When I figured that out, I reset it and now I can interact with lots of cool folks. Great ideas 💡 out there and encouragement when you need it. 

I see your post, too. Comment more, interact more, and definitely don't stop posting! 

Hope you will try and post again, Straycat58. How much weight have you lost? I am new to the site also, it takes a while to figure everything out. Don't give up! 

What the others said! I came here to record what I ate. One day, one of my pictures was featured, and suddenly, I have dozens of friends. 

I just went to your profile and was able to view all of your previous posts. I'm following you now so keep posting and completing your diary. BTW - great job on the weight loss to day! Well done! 

Just so you know I do post stuff myself and nobody notices either, so you are not alone..I just go on here to see what everyone is doing. Don't feel bad. I will notice your post when I see it again.. 

Sorry if you did not get welcomed when you joined FS. This group is a great bunch of people , somehow we missed you. So welcome, we hope you will stay. Good luck on your weight loss journey. 

At least you figured out how to post. I've only been able to make comments-never originate a post. It's not hugely important to me but once in awhile I'd like to pop in. Mostly here to count what I take in. But other people's posts can be encouraging or offer ideas of something yummy to eat. 

Sorry you feel this way! I think this site is amazing. I joined to log in food, and bam! I gotta bunch of support! We are all in this together, and like it or not the long hours all. I most like the Ho Etsy, support and o er all acceptance. Oh ya, and support is huge! Good luck! 

Straycat I will follow you because I feel the same way. I NEED the support and I have very few that see or interact with me on here. In my 4 yr hiatus, no one seemed to notice. It's hard to do this alone when you feel no one else really cares what you're doing. (My local friends/family don't ever ask) I know everyone has their own life to worry about. I'm looking for people on the same (seemingly endless) journey that will talk, listen and share. If you have good food ideas or exercises please share. If you have frustrations, please share. If you have a great day, share. I'll share mine too. If you will, follow me too. 

I see your post and I'm supporting you. I came to FS to track my intake. I had no idea what FS was about, now I love it. I would have given up on weight loss by now if it were not for FS. Lots of great support here, as much as you want.😘 

i felt that way at first but i voiced it like you are & got alot of support. Are you signed up for everyone or just followers? im following u now! hi! 

We all start somewhere - takes time when you decide to invest in yourself and others traveling the same journey alongside you. Much success to you! 

I see all of your posts and I see many with support and comments from people from weeks ago. you may need to look again! :-) welcome and good luck. 

I look each and every time I post something. Also some have mentioned the "featured" posts, I could care less about my posts being in the featured posts, I look under "MY GROUPS" only and I still do not see anything. 

did you look at your filter? who sees your posts everyone following or featured?
