    I agree...there is no easy way out, you're either all in or you're not! If you want to lose weight, guess what? It's going to HURT! I weight 133 pounds and it still hurts now to work hard like it did when I was 240 pounds. No gimmicks, no surgeries, no pills, just blood sweat and tears poured out...that's the right way!

    The "rules" of success are easy - eat right and work out. Following them is not always easy. It's hard work and it takes discipline. You *will* spill blood, sweat, and tears before it's all over. Save your crying and your tears for the workout where you've hit a new personal best, and spare us your crying on the forum when someone didn't beat around the bush and gave you some straight info without sugar coating.

    Don't be lazy. Don't come crying about lack of support when people advise you to avoid bull****.

    The first time I spilled blood on a run I cried, not because it hurt, or I was frustrated, but I had doubts about my own commitment to getting fit, and in that moment, bleeding on a particularly long and hot run (my first 5miler!) I knew I was serious, and that felt...amazing.

    So AMEN and well said!

    Well said! And to Taso too. I really can't be doing with all the fluff - it's one thing being positive and supportive, and quite another being sycophantic and saccharine....especially when it's evident that someone could be putting themselves in danger.

    Oh and yes, use the Google-Fu!

    OMG yes yes yes!!!!! This is so true! I have a very overweight friend (she's not on this or any site...but should be). Sometimes the things she says and asks!?!?!? My god, I want to smack her upside her head. How many calories is lettuce? Really..you think lettuce made you 100 pound overweight. (no I did not say that to her, wanted to tho). She's all over fad diets. She tells me I don't understand because I'm 'naturally thin'. This is soooo not true! I have been working out all my adult life and practicing a healthy lifestyle.....it's hard, it takes a lot of discipline and hard work. It doesn't come easy. To see a change, you have to make a change!

    You a**hole. How dare you tell us to be accountable for our own actions... and stuff.

    I'm with Taso here.

    I've got no problem with giving support. I have a huge problem with giving validation to choices that won't work in the long run, or are unhealthy and possibly dangerous.

    And before anyone chimes in with "everyone's journey is different, you shouldn't judge!" - I'll judge as much as I want. If you ask me the question, I'll give you an honest answer and tell you that HCG is not a great idea, that doing a cleanse won't help as much as eating clean, and that lifting weights is good for you. (And, no, ladies, unless you're a genetic outlier, you won't turn into She-Hulk just because you put some plates on a barbell.)

    Health is hard. It takes work. You can't short-cut it.

    Yeah, I'm judging you. But that's because I know what you're unwilling to admit to yourself - the shortcuts don't work. When you ask, you already know the answer. I don't have to support stupidity.

    I put this in a post not too long ago. I forget which. But it went something like...
    I judge everyone. Including myself. Some measure up. Some don't.

    MFP is as much about accountability as it is about support.

    Maybe you asked a question that was already asked 5 minutes ago and will be asked again 5 minutes from now, and people are sick and tired of hearing and answering the same thing over and over?
    I agree with your post, except this ^this^ part.....if the forum thread search feature worked at all in a sensible way, then the above-problem would be alleviated. MFP, pleeeeeaaaaase fix the forum serach feature.

    I'm glad you asked and not me. I don't want my head bitten off, because I didn't go look it up myself in the gazillion other posts out there.... :tongue:
