To all those posting about starting their weight loss journey and not seeing many upvotes or interaction from Reddit...

I see you.

I know it’s disheartening not seeing people answer your questions or give you the support you need. I had one look at the new posts and the vast majority of them are questions and Day 1 ‘Accountability posts’ that get little interaction over the span of a few hours.

While you could play devil’s advocate and say that the answers to these users’ questions are in the FAQ section, sometimes they need more than that. Individual experiences and motivational stories stem from reddit user’s posts, not articles that are linked to the subreddit!

A lot of the posts that get upvoted here showcase a person’s successes and weight loss achievements. Unfortunately, this poses bad for the newbie who sees their question fall through the cracks against the backdrop of all these ‘success stories’. While these stories keep me going on my own weight loss journey, sometimes it’s easy to forget that they once were in your shoes and had the same questions you have. It would be great to see more support and encouragement for the new users starting their Day 1 or looking for support.

Not a rant, just to say I see your posts guys and you will reach your goals! Please don’t be disheartened by downvotes or a lack of comments, it’s not at ALL a reflection of the legitimacy of your question or the invalidity of your need for some support!

Peace.
