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!

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'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.
Boring no help at all 1 for you my lad!!0 -
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.

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 -

$4,597 isn't being rich though

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.
Here's the thing: some of the people who are on here aren't ready to really commit to a lifestyle change. And that's great, fine. We all get to our goals at different paces and different times.
However, you're also dealing with people who probably have a lot of self-esteem issues and who are used to be coddled and NOT taking accountability for their actions and just trying to get validated. Where has that sort of behavior gotten people? At some point you have to stop making excuses for yourself and own up to the idea that YOU are the one that got you were you are and YOU are the only one who can get yourself out. No one else can do this for you.
Now, if you're so overly sensitive that you cannot handle the idea of an alternative or opposing viewpoint, then you probably need more help with things beyond weight loss. Disagreeing does not equal bulling or making people feel worthless. It's just not all rainbows and unicorns and calorie-less-chocolate-sprinkled-covered-glittering donuts.
good job 7 for you0 -

It was the way they wrote it. You had to have been there.
Been there? I am here, it's the internet.
Maybe it's the way you read it? You know how it is, depending on what frame of mind you're in you'll take the same written words completely different. We all do it.0 -

Must have been pretty traumatic for you i would have thought, they obviously didn't realise the seriousness of the situation, we are talking 15 calories here, just ignore all the nasty nasty people, i have lit a candle for you0 -
OH MY GOD!!! Are you serious? People have been mean?! On the internet!!!?
Pretty sure some people were dropped in glue and rolled in cotton wool as children.0 -

I need another drink.
Be supportive and grab me a beer while you're up hunting for tissues, mmmmkay?0 -
Hey, OP, you're pretty!
And other than that, I don't really have very much to say about this thread.0 -
For what it's worth, I see very little shaming on the MFP boards, and very few genuine attacks.
What I do see, and what is often interpreted as meanness, is people correcting others who are preaching incorrect beliefs, and people defending their choices after they have already been attacked.0 -
Honestly .. this site is TAME compared to another site I belong to. If you want to see haters .. have I got a site for you. I have been bullied lately ... and it was not a pretty thing. I know why teenagers that are cyber bullied commit suicide from all the crap. It can be pretty bad.
Sorry to see that you don't find the people here to be supportive. I personally have found just the opposite and I for one really like not having to put up with the bullying here.0 -

if you are going to make accusations, there should be some evidence supporting your accusation.

This is substantially less interesting and funny than the things you normally post. Which, please believe me, says a lot.0 -
