My Mfp Rant

There are a lot of people mud-slinging at Mfp and other members. So I'm going to join the forces and complain about the members... Here goes:
Not every one is here to lose weight. Some want to gain, others want to maintain.
There are different body types, dietary needs/preferences, and activity levels, as well as different stages of life. We weren't all created the same. Duh.
A suggestion? Embrace that and try to learn from those around you and take advice for what it is: a suggestion.
This isn't a dating site. However, like everywhere else in life, flirting happens and people hooking up. Oh, you have an issue with this? Don't go into the forums, don't answer messages, and make your profile private.
And this isn't high school, people!! Put on your big girl/boy panties and stop being so emotional about posts, topics, comments, suggestions, people being people, and bad food choices.
Geesh. How many people do you know need a good dose of either "grow the eff up" or "get over yourself"?

I agree but this is a beleaguered topic and posting about it isn't going to change minds.

what he said, but I hope you feel better now anyway.0 -
What Ket said is true...
But I still support this message0 -
I just ended my 2nd week! I must not read enough posts because I haven't read any mud-slinging. So far all the message board posts that I've read have been very supportive and positive. I've lost 7 lbs now and feel great. Good luck, Super Tracy, on your health goals. I hope you can stay strong and don't let the "bucket dippers" bring you down.0

Oh, the point wasn't to change minds. I'm well aware that posting one thing here, just like on Facebook, isn't going to fix the hardheaded dumba$$es. Children will be children. Er, I mean, people will be people.
Every one grows old, but growing up is an option. Just because I maintain my youthful spunk doesn't mean I retained the ignorance of childhood. Massive difference.
Yes, some of the posts are really helpful, informative, and inspirational. I applaud those sharing, and those seeking help, Especially since I was completely alone in my journey to a healthy weight (reached and surpassed in 2009).
I maintain, though, that Some people (not all) should get a healthy dose of "grow the eff up".0 -
Definitely agree! People need to do what they came here to do. They need to get help from people who are willing to give it, help those who need it (if they are so inclined), and leave everybody else to their own journey!0
