    Oy vey . . . nevermind. Methinks this post was a mistake and if you few who accidentaly stumbled upon it can manage, please disregard. I started it as a confusing mess and now it's getting worse. Adue until we post again.

    There are no dues here. It is a free site!

    Hi, I also joined the site without weight to lose. Just working on my fitness and health and being preemptive as well. Sometimes it's difficult to explain. Sometimes people don't understand or have various misconceptions. I get that. And while certainly a lot of people on here are here to lose weight (as would make sense considering it's a calorie counting site), some are here to work on fitness, maintain, or even to gain. But, no one in my life has any issues with me. I think some people wonder how I eat treats and stay slim, but that's because I am here and I eat within my goals and I'm active.

    Well isnt this just perfect. We so called "Overweight" people post stuff like "I lost 2 lbs last week!" or "I move my belt a notch in!", and we get maybe one or two responses. But post a comment about someone that is not fat or doesn't need to lose tons of weight and all hell breaks lose supporting that person and how they are misunderstood or whatever! This is what is wrong with society in general. We fat people are looked at in a different light and are made to feel as if it is completey our fault. I just once would like to see this type of support for us trying to lose lots of weight and not just for the ones that are able to maintain a healty body and lifestyle. SHEEESH!

    that's not true. You told her to leave MFP. That was rude. I know most people here support other people regardless of where they came from or are going, but not when they want to rain on someone else's parade. Try changing your attitude. Live a little. Smile. :bigsmile:

    If I post on my profile that I just lost 2 lbs or was able to move my belt a notch I'll get 30 responses from my friends - the people on MFP that I have connected with over shared goals. If you see someone in the forums posting info that you can relate to, add them as a friend. When you have a bunch of friends with common goals you'll definitely get more support than looking to the main forums for it. The interactive nature of MFP has been HUGE in my success. Add some friends with common goals and you'll find the support you're looking for.
