Why all the ranting?

lenya_maria4516

All I seem to read on here recently is people bashing other people for being fat, thin, tall, male, female, you name it. I thought this website was for help and support?!

Can't we all just get along and help each other out? After all we (mainly, some would like to gain weight etc.) have the same goal otherwise we wouldn't be here. Seriously, life is too short.

Where is the love people!

Thanks guys!

Sadly, if I was 'ranting' about something, I'd probably have a million more responses ha ha!

BECAUSE WE ARE ALL HUNGRY

:-P

Lol

Hungry = grumpy

Seriously though, I do gree with the OP, it seems more and more posts on here are negative and counter productive. The whole reason I came on here was because I thought I'd found a community of people who understood a little of what I was going through. Freedom of speech and all that aside, there's enough negative stuff and bullying going on in the real world, let's continue to support and encourage one another and try to ignore the nasty negative posts, they'll stop and go away soon enough if we do that.

Lol, that's exactly what I was going to say!!

In the absence of useful to add, here's a short video in the spirit of this thread that might help to distract us from the hunger:

If you guys are hungry you're probably not eating enough? I know this is a 'diet' webste, but I found I lost more by eating more. I started on 1280-1300 cals but it just wasn't enough for me (I'm 5' 9"). My hair and skin also suffered from the lack of nutrition.

I've read many sources that say if you eat around 2000 calories a day you will lose weight, just not as fast as you'd like, maybe half a pound a week. I found the Fat2Fit website very helpful and this site http://www.health-calc.com/ has an AWESOME calculator!

Awww, I was actually joking about being hungry (because being hungry does make me unbearably grumpy - god help the world when I'm hungry AND tired) but I love your concern - thank you so much for the advice and link.

Out of interest, in what way did you hair and skin suffer from lack of nutrition? I would be good to know what to look out for.

there is just a lot of really mean people, wean them out, find the nice ones!

lenya_maria4516

I got loads of spots, my hair really dried out and my nails didn't seem to grow as quickly as they normally do. I felt very tired, no energy for exercise, which is only Yoga, and was also very grumpy lol

Well said, stop being mean to each other people!

I love you all for making the choice to be healthier. I don't care where you started.. just where you end up because I know each of us can do this!

I am quite new here myself (about 2 1\2 months) and have kept my head down in concerns to the forum in general really. Some posts have been very informative offering advice and suggestions for which I'm grateful but lately it seems to be insults at dawn. You can't seem to read anything without a shower of verbal arrows going over your shoulder. Hopefully whatever has gotten everyone in such a tissy will ease down and blow over. I'm the sort that wishes everyone who is trying to better their life (or another's) in some way the very best of luck and happiness, don't understand all the haters out there lately :-S
