    I get soooo annoyed seeing someone on here that wants to lose 5 pounds. REALLY?! Come on. Especially, when people are here trying to lose hundreds of pounds. I'm all about getting healthy & maintaining but a 5 pound goal?

    :tongue: *Keep your hate mail, it's just my opinion* :glasses:

    I once posted this exact same pet peeve, cause I saw a real skinny girl trying to lose 2 pounds....
    and I got crucifixed!, ppl just saying I was jealous and blah blah blah.. Glad to know im not the only one with this thought on mind

    Pretty sure you mean crucified. Unless you became a crucifix....

    I've got 12lbs to go and it's SO HARD. Can only imagine how hard it will be on my last 5lbs.

    Maybe people only found this site after losing 134lbs and have 5 to go?

    Or maybe they didn't.

    Who CARES?

    There are people here who want to GAIN weight too. Gain muscle, lose fat. Etc. I see nothing wrong with any of it. If someone wants to lose 5 pounds then good for them! I think we are all here to be FIT. And to some people losing 5 pounds will make them fitter. It's really great for anyone. I don't see the problem really.

    I'm still here just trying to maintain. It has helped to keep recording and being accountable. I'd still like to lose some more but mainly I just don't want to gain it all back.

    My pet peeeve is when everyone just says WTG, great burn, way to stay under your calorie goal. But they never look at the diary, the person has a blocked diary, the diary shows they ate tons of fat or all unhealty fast food. Be freaking honest with me....like:

    Why the Hell are you eating all that fast food!!! Or are you an Alcoholic you drink everyday!!!!

    SOooo....I like to drink!

    And actually, when I first started here i had no idea about calories, fats, protein, sodium....nothing!! When I began I first got my calories in check, and even though still eating crap foods, I still lost. Over time, I started learning about the rest. I'm STILL learning how to eat healthier, but have come a long way.

    Pretty sure this IS why the people you speak of keep their diary's closed. LoL.

    I hate the confusion:

    If I dont eat enough calories I will gain, If i eat too much I will gain.

    If I drink Body By Vi shake I will die of Soy poisoning or something.

    everyone is a nutritionist, but they want answers from others

    nobody here knows if they should or shouldnt eat their exercise calories

    and there is not enough talk about my favorite subject: SEX

    Every pound should be celebrated. EVEN FIVE.

    (singing)

    Every pound is sacred!
    Every pound is great!
    If a pound is wasted,
    God gets quite irate!

    serious question to the OP... so what's gonna happen when you're almost at goal... & you've got only 5lbs left to lose? are you going to want people being irked and peeved by it? or would u rather they be supportive & encouraging of it? you might want to try rethinking your pet peeve dear... we ALL had to start somewhere... & whether we have 5 or 50 lbs to lose, we're all in this together, right... good luck to you!

    I didn't realize that the site was called MMWLP- My Major Weight Loss Pal. Fitness can mean major weight loss, minor weight loss, toning, a better lifestyle, maintaining, gaining, looking for like minded people, people to emulate, etc. I didn't realize I was undeserving of being here because I've already hurdled larger weight losses and have a few more to go and lots of improvement to be had with a healthier lifestyle.

    Really??
    So someone needs to gain X amount of pounds before they can decide they have a problem and need to change their eating and fitness habits?

    I joined this site because I had put on some weight and I wasn't happy with myself. My old way of doing things was to starve myself (didn't have an eating disorder per say, more like disordered eating, if that makes any sense), then I found myfitnesspal, which helped me figure out I could lose the weight in a healthy way.

    The point of this site is to become more fit... even if you aren't trying to lose weight... There is nothing wrong with watching what you put in your mouth and exercising at any weight!

    Why does it always come down to "fat" vs "thin" so often on these forums? People should be encouraging eachother to do the best they can instead of belittling them for their body size.

    Just because my ticker says I'm looking to lose 5 lbs, doesn't mean I haven't already lost a lot. I reset it recently after losing over 30 lbs. Don't be quick to judge.

    THIS

    And THIS:
    So don't friend them. But if you do, you may learn something. People that have 5lbs to lose will have a lot of value to you when you get down to your last 5 lbs. It gets harder, not easier.
