    I'm sorry if this was already covered, but this site isn't JUST intended to help people lose weight. It's a great tool for general fitness and diet control even if maintaining or gaining weight is your goal.

    You started at 139lbs? I'm refraining from going on exactly the same rant about you...

    You know, I really hate all these skinny people. I mean, really. Why would they even want to be skinny or in shape if not to just rub it in all our faces. It has nothing to do with them and is all about ME! They should just go crawl in a hole and die.

    And since the OP weighs less than I do, she should, too. I think she posted this JUST because she knew I'd see it. Selfish, she is.

    Maybe you should try and sell her your M&M diet Rml....

    This site that I have now been a member of for going on 3 years is supposed to be for people that want to lose weight. Not skinny people posting pictures of how skinny they are and complaining about three pounds of skin they still need to lose. It really makes me lose motivation when someone's starting weight is 110pounds and they are half a foot taller than me. I understand being healthy and getting in shape and making a life change but clearly everyone has insecurities and weight it important to all people, but as someone that actually had more than six pounds to lose I find it disheartening that this website has gone in such an extreme other direction.We are supposed to be motivating each other, talking about our accomplishments is part of it, but bragging and fishing for compliments is not.

    Sorry if I offended anyone, I'm just in a bad mood anyway.

    Think of it like this.


    When I was 278lbs, I complained I was fat by what, 100lbs?

    now that I'm 192lbs or w/e, I feel fat w/ 5lbs.

    it's all relative.

    i don't think the website intentionally went "in the other direction" but you'll always have people who think they need to lose weight no matter what their size is.

    judging from your profile picture, you didn't have a lot to lose and seems like you are pretty close to your goal. so that is awesome. there are others on here who started out much heavier who might say the same thing about any of us. i only had 25 lb to lose. so maybe i dont' belong on here either.

    I was totally feeling this. With 139 lbs to lose from the beginning, I'm looking at the OP quite puzzled. Oh and... [sarcasm font]I'm now demotivated because she only needed to lose 20 lbs or so and has taken 3 years to do it.[/sarcasm font]

    Well as someone that needed to lose at least 135, the fact that you're disheartened because there are people that need to lose 6lbs to your 21, yeah, 21 isn't a **** compared to some of us. Spewing how YOU feel bad think how that makes the rest of us feel. Get off your horse, that saddles way too big for you, sugar.

    this one all the way!

    this is almost exactly what i was going to say... but with a HORSE. so clearly awesomer.

    srsly dude, you have less than thirty in your ticker. i have over two hundred. i know ppl who have three. i know ppl on here who are competitive lifters, who are becoming fitness models and who, like me, are struggling to get out of the morbidly obese range, and those who HAVE; and yeah, even ppl like you, who have some-but-not-much to lose. guess what, sunshine, none of that MATTERS. b/c the end goal for all of us (even those who got there already) is the SAME - to be healthy and fit and finally have that life that you want - and it's THAT that matters. who you are and where you're going.

    Well the problem was your lack of understanding. This is not a website for people looking to lose large amounts of weight. It's for tracking calories. That is all. People can use this site to lose, maintain or gain. It's all about being healthy and that's what MFP provides.

    Sorry that you've spent 3 years here without knowing the site's purpose. Sorrier still that you think you have some proprietary right to who belongs here and who doesn't.

    If you're disheartened that you haven't lost all you wanted that is on you. Not any other member here.

    You are letting your insecurities get the better of you. Fight them. You're here for you. No one else.


    ^^this^^

    I came here to lose weight, when I'm done, i won't leave. I'm planning on tracking my kcals and macros and on posting losts and losts of pics of my flabless body

    it's myFITNESSpal not myFATpal, soooo move on to WW or something, please
