ONE MAJOR PET PEEVE ABOUT MFP

megsi474

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.

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?

*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....

oh my bad... thanks for noticing my error.. Grammar police always rocks!

SEE!!! but I'm petty? lol **dies laughing**

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.

Negativity of some people.

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.

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.

Why waste any of your energy on what other people are doing? Focus on your own issues.
I only have a small amount left to lose, but I lost plenty before joining. I am trying to make sure I get enough protein and let the last couple of pounds come off whenever they do.

I need to lose 5 lbs

my pet peeve is people who bash one another on forums when people ask for advice or a specfic want in a friend. we are all adults with one common goal get healthy and fit. so why can't we all act that way.
