Can we combine this thread with the "eating back calories" thread, tie them both to a large stick, and set them on fire?0

Some people in this thread are being ridiculous. Of course I'm not going to say which. This way no one can say I was attacking them.
Did I do it right?
OMG, is it mammamaurer?
Read my post. Geez, reading comprehension.0 -

Finally reached my limit and did something I haven't done in at least six months.
Being excessively evasive and intentionally obtuse is never "more fun". It's counter to effective discourse...and it's annoying.
So, back to the original topic...wait...what was the original topic? Have we been on it at any time since page one?0 -

I don't see anything wrong with her post and think FB should not have banned her, it's her free speech, right? Don't like it, move on!
Everyone has an opinion, not everyone is gonna agree, that's ok, but at the end of the day, my fb I'll post what I want, as long as it doesn't go against FB policy and she did not. I believe she tries to post from her belief's the bit that got me was how people got all mad about her posting a photo of herself and her kids and saying "What's your excuse" That saying has been around before she did it.
I say leave the poor girl alone, she is doing her and if it inspires others so be it, if not, move on, don't hate what you don't wanna work for. (in General).0 -
:indifferent: i did in but then you became annoyed, and folks replied (including the OP) after me, but you must have missed all that what with all this evasive annoyance :flowerforyou:Finally reached my limit and did something I haven't done in at least six months.

Yeah, I made a couple of clicks, the first being a little triangle.0 -
AGGRESSIVELY HIGH-FIVESYou only need an "excuse" if you want to look like that. If you don't, and you're happy with what you look like, that post has no reason to offend you. So if you want to look like that and now you feel challenged by some random mom on the Internet, well, getting her banned might make you feel better, but it won't get you any closer to your goals.0 -
13 pages? Good grief, bumping to read later0

I did not find anything wrong with what she had to say. The FB Police violated her 1st Amendment rights of Freedom of Speech. If people don't want to hear, or read the truth they don't have to read or listen to it. She is trying to help people battle this epidemic called obesity, but some people take it personally which they shouldn't. Oh well, some people just don't have it.......
No they did not. FB is not a government agency.
Why don't people understand the most fundamental and basic premise of the BIll of Rights?

WHO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh wait, you obviously don't have to answer if we're going by past behavior of other posters in this thread.
It must be trending.0 -
I'm crushed. If you tie this thread to anything, please have the decency to tie it to the "eating less than 1200 calories is fine" thread before setting it alight. Give me some dignity.Can we combine this thread with the "eating back calories" thread, tie them both to a large stick, and set them on fire?
ETA: I've eaten less than 1200 calories a day lots of times, if that helps start the fire...0 -

There are a few dozen threads you could add to it and make an awesome bonfire.0 -

Agree. Save your torches and pitchforks for the truly deserving threads. I would vote for every single one of the "What am I doing wrong????" ones. But that's just me.0 -

How about just the ones where it turns out that the OP isn't logging at all.0 -
Everyone does not have an hour a day to spend in the gym. I'll admit it's about priorities. I put my husband and three kids above having a ripped body.
^ lol
Yea, that one hour is hard to find for those with 90 hour workweeks. Everyone else? Not so much.
I think a more accurate statement would be that not everyone has the *desire* to spend an hour a day at the gym. For some people that just isn't what makes them happy, and they are fine with not having a ripped body. Nothing wrong with that.0 -

Most people can probably never look like her, because they have more important things to do in their lives.
It takes an hour a day. Anybody who wants to, can.
No, not everyone can workout an hour a day. Wish I could. But I can't.0 -

I won't argue with you...because I know how pointless that is...
...but at least acknowledge that you can't workout an hour a day right now. Perhaps with a few different choices in your future, you'll be able to.0 -

It also ignores the fact that most of what you weigh is made up by what you decide to put in your mouth. You don't need to spend an hour a day in the gym to look good you just need to watch what you eat and workout a few times a week. If people were willing to work hard you could get away with max 45min workouts and if you can't get to a gym then you can workout at home.
It comes down to priorities for the large majority of people. Not I can't but it's not a priority. If you want something enough you find away.
Another thing I found amusing about a lot of the comments on this story is the people who seem to think she is neglecting her children by taking care of herself. Odds are she'll be around a lot longer and in better shape to spend much more quality time with her children over the coming years.
Oh and another point of observation is that I bet her children eat a hell of a lot healthier than most of the people who were commenting on the story (not the people on here). I think people who allow their children to get severely overweight are practising a form of child abuse.0 -
I was watching some old movies from the '40s this weekend. There were fat people in those movies. No one ate fast food then. No one had the internet or watched tv, because it wasn't yet available.
I have two sisters-in-law, my husband's sisters. One is naturally thin, the other tends to put on weight very easily. You could see the difference in baby and childhood pictures. Both are slim now. The one who tends to gain easily runs marathons and runs every day and must watch every bite she eats. The other exercises, and has always been able to eat whatever she wants within reason. They both look like specific women from earlier generations in the extended family, too.
In short, I don't find it helpful for people who have no scientific basis for their claims, to finger wag at the rest of the world, about eating and exercise. Work with what you have, do your best, but don't beat yourself up if you don't have a six-pack.0 -

One day when I choose to be healed of my heart condition, then I can and will.
My point wasn't to be argument active but to remind everyone, that blanket statements are not always the best. Not everyone is healthy (and the illness is. to always relative to better choices, soMetimes our bodies just don,t work right)
It depresses me often that my health limits me and there is nothing I can do about it.
And, with the hypoglycemia, No, I can NOT skip a meal unless I want to pass out. Been there, done that
Sorry to be a nuisance, just having a super bad week..month.0 -

Nearly all recommendations should be assumed to include a disclaimer that it is not for those for whom health conditions are contraindicated. That does not invalidate the recommendation for those for whom this restriction does not apply.
We see this a lot in the forums here:
1. No one should eat gluten...ever.
2. Why? Gluten is not a problem for those who are not celiac.
1. Well, I have celiac. Are you telling me I should eat gluten even though my doctors says I shouldn't? How dare you!?!0
