    The Points I 100% agree with: 3, 4.
    The points I 50% agree with: 5, 8, 7
    The points I have to kindly disagree with: 1,2,6.

    For 3 & 4 I have found that all the members who post get positive feed back about their sucess and can/are inspirations for others to get motivated or keep going.

    For 5, 8 & 7 I have seen many posts where people have disrespected or come straight out and told others that they opinions/excercise regime/food diet/weight loss diet where absolutely rediculous and how could they be so dumb (I put that nicely) for even thinking that what they are doing is even remotely right. Then there are other members who are not like this are will give SOUND, REASONABLE advice as to why they disagree with your choices without being threatening or rude about it. I would say that many of the people are APPEAR friendly, but you must realize that this is the internet and what you think and read about someone may not be who they truely are in person. But then again some people are genuinely nice and kind people who want nothing more then to support and provide a helping hand to others in need.

    For the rest of the points: 1) I have read posts where people rip apart others eating habits after the OP made their diary public.
    2) NEVER fully unviel your secrets/insecurities/deepest darkest fears on the internet or to people you don't know. Period. This is true in every aspect of your life. You have no idea who anyone is or what will happen with the information you put out there.
    6) Though many of us are trying to loose weight, not all of us are doing it the same way or have the same goals in mind. Some are trying to gain weight; some are trying to loose bf; some are trying to gain muscle or completely bulk up; and this is the REALLY sad one, but I read two seperate posters who's goal where trying to loose weight and "seemed" to promote a pro-ana life style.

    My suggestion is to stay longer and realize that not everyone is on the same page and we all just need to learn to get along....though some members are already at that stage of getting along and their AWESOME!

    I'm sorry that you've seen such negativity. I guess I'm lucky, I've only pretty much come across caring and supporting MFP pals. In terms of goals, I meant health and fitness.

    I'm not naive, I am totally aware that you shouldn't totally unveil yourself, especially on the internet. But in terms of bodies, weight loss, nutrition, fitness and the like, MFP is so much better than anything else in real life.

    I love MFP because all of my friends are wonderful! I accept people who log in everyday and the ones that we motivate each other. If my friends can not do that automatic delete. I'm not here to see how many people I can get to become my friend I am here for myself firstly and to those who I can help motivate as well. I have become quite close to my friends and even though I've never met these people they are my biggest supporters I have! I am thankful to have them as to them I hope I am helping them as much as they help me.

    I love MFP and here's why:

    1. You can add someone as a friend and they don't question your agenda.
    2. You can unveil all your fears and insecurities and people will support you.
    3. You can show off the smallest success and people will be proud of you.
    4. You can show off the biggest success and people will cheer you on, without judging you for posting pics of your new sexy body.
    5. People are friendly here.
    6. People have the same goals, and they work together.
    7. It is pretty much IMPOSSIBLE to make enemies here, or to be disrespected or mistreated.
    8. Everyone is so welcoming, and you'll always belong on MFP :)

    Just some reasons why I love MFP and the gang here.

    For the most part, it's what you make it. So you must be pretty awesome.

    :drinker:

    True :heart:

    You probably haven't experienced a lot of negativity because you're a positive and not argumentative person. You seem great, and one of the things I love about MFP is seeing folks like you.

    Seeing the before and afters, a picture of someone you know is ashamed of their body and feels totally out of control - - and then right next to him/her, a twin from a different universe is this gorgeous, confident person who is proud of their body and in control of it, and making it do wonderful things for them.

    But mostly? Satire. This place is the most target right object for satire I've ever seen. From the orthorexia to the 'my way or the highway' to the ignorance and the arrogance, the perversion and overmoderation . . . it's just darn fun to joke about.

    Anyway. Thanks for this thread.

    This post reminds me of a thing I read yesterday about a woman watching 2 dogs go into a room. The first comes out wagging it's tail like crazy, the second one comes out growling with it's hackles up. The lady wondered what in the room could make one dog so happy and one so angry so she went in.
    The room was full of mirrors - one dog was happy so saw lots of happy dogs, the second was angry so saw lots of angry dogs.

    I suspect you see happy dogs - I'm making an effort to see more happy dogs.

    I like using the food diary, which is of course useful, and I do get surpised by the outlandish claims and sob stories that are on here.

    Agreee!

    But the best thing about MFP is the nutritional support and guidance you get. I always say that I've found the perfect 'diet'. How many successful weight loss programmes out there will give you the freedom to eat whatever you want?

    I love MFP because it got me through the dreaded Day 4 of transitioning back to low carb, a day when I tend to stumble and fall into a pit of cupcakes. I'll be on here a lot for the dreaded Day 7, too, another bad day. If I would just stop going off it I wouldn't have to put up with the first week of going back on it. Grrrr. Dummy me! So if I seem a bit grouchy, hopefully I can be forgiven, or at least not get my silly self banned!

    Sounds like you haven't had any junk pics sent to you yet, or maybe you're into that.

    Lots of agendas with people. I don't accept FRs often anymore because it's just creepy most of the time.

    I used to get into all the rah rah and WTG stuff until I saw the same people lose the same 2 lbs week after week after week and decided it's stupid.

    And, I have many people on block. There are a lot of *kitten* here that say stupid things and act like they know everything about diet and exercise, but really, they don't know anything and base their knowledge on myths.

    So, I dig your positivity, but pretty much disagree with many of your points. It's not really all that positive nor friendly.

    Fully agree!!
