First let me start off by saying I am not trying to offend anyone, however, there are several people on these boards that do exactly that. I browse through these boards quite a bit, and find people all the time who are just starting or even been here for a while and are proud of what they have accomplished or proud that they are able to pick a better food option, however some of you don't see it for that. For example I seen a girl who posted her lunch on here and was extremly proud and it was a healthy lunch however bc of her bread choice MANY of you decided to tell her she was wrong instead of telling her what she did right. yes i know most are trying ot help but they way your posts come off it comes off as more like a put down bc "she didnt eat whole wheat bread" maybe she couldnt afford whole wheat bread at 4bucks a loaf or maybe she doesnt like the taste *i dont know about many of you but i dont like something i wont eat it* but instead of telling her that she did a good job on picking veggies over chips you run her in the ground for white bread..and that is just one example, I see people tellingothers that they are not doing well if they don't wear a HRM..well sorry but some people just flat out can't afford one, and instead of telling them that all there efforts were for nothing howabout saying thats a great job and just leave it at that..What happened to if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all... I know that the majority of you are here to help but it just really bothers me when i see some people thinking they are better than others because they "whole organic" foods homemade never from a can and definatley nothing with HFCS or bc they burned the "EXACT" amount of cals with their HRM..we are all here for the same reason, but we are all different so we will obtain those goal differently just keep that in mind. and no im not here ot put down those of you that use HRM *i do* or eat organic whole type foods i think that is great and if that is for you and it is working then i say keep doing it but just odn't bash those that dont. thank you!! and sorry if i offended anyone

EXACTLY! I CAME AND STAYED BECAUSE OF THE KINDNESS AND SUPPORT I RECEIVED MY FIRST DAY BUT LATELY, PEOPLE SEEM SO ....ALMOST POISONED BY THEIR OWN SUCCESS OR SOMETHING0

Nice post. Always good to see people who stick up for what's right. I'm new to the site. Been using the Droid app for a few weeks but this is my first time on the site. Haven't seen anything you mentioned yet but sad if it is that much of a problem here.0

I completely understand where your coming from.
We are living on one salary right now and trying to eat as healthy as possible. Tonights pasta bake is going to have to do as Hubby is home and making dinner(Thank Goodness). As long as I have the calories for it , the scale keeps going down....
I couldn't give a flying fart in space what any negative commenter feels/ thinks about it...
encouraging responses welcome and opinions are welcomed, considered and it all comes down to what I/we can do.
No hrm for me....
no gym membership for me...
And I am fine with that.
All good
stay focused and positive!!!0 -

........and this is why I keep my journal set to private. I make my own food choices..I don't need to run it past anyone for approval...if I eat it and gain or don't lose..hey, that's on me.....and if I don't eat it and lose..or don't gain....bravo for me. Certainly not looking for a pat on the back....and i refuse to have some a-hole who thinks they have it "all together" say "shame on me".....that'll likely result in a cyber beatdown.
So, I agree with you 100%0 -
Good point and you're very kind to defend her. Some don't realize there are many more obstacles to losing weight than food choice. Having four skinny children and a husband who doesn't believe he's making bad choices it's a challenge just to go grocery shopping.0
