    I not only fake my stats, but my whole background. It's boring down here in my parents' basement.

    Sounds like you need to have fun in a gym. HA! I'm just kidding.

    Yeah there are a lot of people on MFP that are desperate for attention so they fake their burns and weight loss but in the end, guess whose still fat. Them and not us.

    SMH..Oh and I can't stand people on MFP who are expecting to loose weight with the drop of a magic sprinkle. Shut up and wait! It takes months, not 2 weeks dimwit!

    Oh wow. I never thought of that, surprisingly.
    I'm going to continue to operate under the assumption that people are being honest until proven otherwise though.

    I don't worry about what others do-I focus on myself

    Absolutely I do! That should totally say 1.17, not 117, but what's a decimal point between friends? :wink:

    it's a bit a obvious that i don't (look at how much i lost.. lol), but i guess we can't really stop them from faking it. :/ but then again, we're here to motivate and not to talk bad things about people faking it or not.. ^^

    Yep, there was this fake a** b**** on my friend's list one time and she claimed to have exercised eight hours a day burning from anywhere between 4,000-6,000 calories a day and was dropping 12-15 lbs every week, with net calories in the negative few thousands daily.

    She said she'd show progress pictures at 100 lbs lost, then the week she 'lost' 100 lbs, she deleted all of her friends, and changed her username. I found her, but felt such pity for her that I didn't even bother with it.

    What a sad, pitiful human being.

    To be honest i've never really thought about it.
    Do they exist? Probably
    Do I care enough to think about it beyond the next 30 seconds? Nope!

    we can't force everybody to take before and after pics, so I suppose people could and do fake. I never thought that someone would post fake stuff on here though...I guess I should lose this child like innocence one day or I'm gonna get mugged walking home some dark night :laugh:

    I don't post fake stuff but if I gain I keep it to myself - I NEVER record higher weights.

    Too depressing FOR ME - it's nothing to do with being judged or my friends on here. It's a personal thing.

    If they fake their stats at the end of the day they're only cheating themselves in the long run.

    I don't need praise from people I don't even know on the internet.

    I haven't run across any fakers....that I know of. I think that must be a very sad place to be in for them :-( I find the sole reason I love this site is because I am honest, and it works because it keeps you accountable for your actions. Likewise, you see results when you do well....

    I wouldn't be surprised now that you mention it. Some people need validation or praise from other for their own personal gain. I noticed that a lot on here.I only update my weight loss;no pics, measurements or logging.;

    I wonder if people think I am faking. I am not.
