Hi Jazzie!
I posted about the 15 calories I went over in my food diary (just wondering how to make up for it) and I was told that "maybe I shouldn't worry about it". People will be rude. Just ignore them sweetie! That's what I do!
Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ii!!!
That's not rude, that's good advice!0 -

Can you just leave your butthurt in the thread posted above, please? Kthxbye.0 -
why?
who cares???
worry about you, and only u.
Gonna give you a 4 for that statement0 -
Oh let me be clear, no one has been rude to me. I've just seen it many times and when I reached out to the person who was hurting, they were very upset by it. I knew I was going to get bombarded with rude comments and unfunny gifs but it was worth it because of the many people who are thanking me via msg. The good people far outweigh the rude ones on this site, it's just that they don't post anything from fear of retaliation. Just letting other people know that there is kindness out there..even if it is behind the shield of a computer screen.0

I've been using MFP for a while now but have only been active on the website and boards for the past month. I read a lot of the posts and comments on here, and I must say that some of you are very mean. Most people on this site are not fitness models and pro body builders. Most are trying to lose weight...some a lot of weight. You don't get to be obese by having all of the answers and having a great support system. That's why they came here. Some of you will argue that you're offering "tough love". There's a difference between giving someone an honest opinion and making them feel worthless. I'm sure this post is going to bring forth some rudeness but I don't care. If you are really trying to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle, and want the support of honest, nice people, feel free to hit me up. Have a great day everyone!
links? please.
Seriously... I get so tired of seeing "you people are so mean" threads without real examples of said perceived meanness!!
Oh wait... pointing that stuff out would be against forum rules, wouldn't it? So instead, let's just make a generalized statement that could pretty much be directed at the whole community.
Well guess what, OP, it's our MFP too!

I agree! AND being healthier means being emotionally healthy too! Carrying anger to spread around at other people doesn't seem like a healthy thing to do.0 -

I just copied and pasted this. See..."tools, tracking and SUPPORT".
If MyFitnessPal is only for the tools and tracking, then the powers that be need to take "support" out of the description of this website.
So does that mean by signing up, I am therefore OBLIGATED to support other members using this site?
I had no idea.

I find 95% of people on here are helpful and kind. If you come across some of the other 5% you can walk away, or lurk, watching the thread for the laughs.
How the "top" contributors from the 95% don't go MENTAL answering the same questions every day, I'll never understand.0 -
