its funny, i seem to be the only one who read the OPs comment as encouragement to keep going all the way and not give up too early, as opposed to putting people down for their goals. maybe the expression "REAL victory" was badly worded, but i honestly dont think she meant it to be insulting.
to everyone who said something about minding ones own business.. this whole place is based on discussing other peoples business. if everyone kept to their own, there would be no forums!

MFP is a judging site. Why else would you dare put pics up for everyone to see? These rules are in place for a good reason and they are the only reason we have survived this long. You will not be shown an ounce of leniency. You have broken the chain and the Covenant! You must be judged!

No matter what you say or do on here. There will always be smarta$$es and know it all and newbies. When you post on forums this is how it has always been. You take it with a grain of salt and move on. You will always have people that take it the wrong way or see the bad instead of the good. Better to stick with your friends list and stay off the forums. Too many arguing people for the sake of arguing.0

There would still be forums, but they would be boring.

I see it a lot with women, especially. For example, a 5'4" female starts out with a weight of 350 pounds, and her goal is to get to 175 pounds. That's still obese! I see this a lot where people set goal weights when they are probably underestimating their potential! I understand people want to set realistic goals, but why go so far when you only just a little more to go before your REAL moment of victory? The "healthy" range! Really, if you've set a high final goal weight, consider the fact that with a little more time, you can do even more than that! All it takes is a little more time.
Are you these people's personal trainer or doctor? If yes, address this to them directly. If no, GTFOOOPGW.

YAY FOR THE FIRST BODY SHAMING TOPIC OF THURSDAY!
From a 20 year old.
Who has a lot of life experience.
Lol, right?0 -
oh yes, and in my profile pic, I'm 190 lbs, 5'7". My GW is 170 or until I LOVE what I see in the mirror when I'm naked. I don't care what that number on the scale reflects as long as I'm completely happy with my physique.0

This. How we do things is nobody's business but ours unless we ask for help. Another good example of the old rule of "mind your business and i'll mind mine" has gone out the window. As long as the person is losing who cares what they do. It's the goal not how you get there as long as you do it safely that matters.0 -
This doesn't seem like "Fun and Games"
But really, for some people it's easier to focus on accomplishing small goals and also a weight of 170 or 175 is attainable and maintainable. And if someone can go from over 300 pound to 175 pounds, then they deserve massive praise.0 -
Oh no you didn't start this thread LOL.

OP- You mentioned in another thread that you don't think 1100 calories is too low and that some days you only eat 800.
Tell me again why you are asking about other people's GW when you clearly need some help with your relationship with your own self. You have given dangerous advice and have shown that you are not healthy yourself in your own calorie intake. You also mention in your profile that you are insecure. It seems to me your are projecting those insecurities onto other people. Please focus on your own health, then you might better understand why people set goals the way they do.0 -

Wrong.
It was moved OUT OF Motivation & Support because it's stupid.0 -
This thread appears to be going just as the OP planned.
Well done, OP!

Motivational or not it backfired. it's like when that guy wrote that aricle about the fat woman at the track. Sometimes people who are well intentioned end up being inadvertant jerks. Intentions don't change that.
What's the quote? "The road to Hell was paved with good intentions."
Poor wording ruined it. If they OP ever took the time to come back they could have defended it.0
