I must agree, people should ignore the people with 15 years of G7 experience because they might be tainted by their actual experiences.
Stick with the impression of guys who just started and have not had the chance to have had their opinions tainted by real world experience.
It us all a matter of attitude, you get out of it what you put in.
Woman after her first week in Auschwitz, "They keep us working 12 hours a day, we all live in a dormitory crammed together, food portions are small. We all have the feeling of being together for a common cause, nobody is overweight anymore, and I lost 5 pounds my first week. For the first time in years I've been able to control my weight. Overall it has been a very positive experience. Thank you WeightWatchers-Third-Rich!"
