WTH were you thinking...

.........damnit people..........we're in this weight loss thing together. WHY are you sniping at each other.?? STOP IT...STOP IT NOW!!!

Do you think about what you're saying to others BEFORE you say it? Do you stop to think if WHAT you're saying to them was said to you---would YOU LIKE IT? Probably not. Then for gawd sake dont say it. Just walk the frick away.

Ive been here a couple months and see it all the time. I understand not encouraging others in poor eating habits but do ya gotta snipe at em over it? Or be judgmental? Or put em down? Or purposely make em feel bad?

.......and this whole bullsh!t scenario that because it worked for you it'll work for everyone.? Where'd THAT come from? Cripes sake.....get over yourself. In the grand scheme of things there are as many ways of doing this weight loss thing as there are people doing it. Stop pushing your way as "THE" way. If it worked for you..........great.....absofreakinlutely fantastic...we're proud of ya.....but it doesnt mean it'll work for anyone else. Do you HONESTLY think "we" dont know we dont know it all? Does it really make you feel superior by sniping at someone else?

Ive been sniped at by the best of em since Ive been here. WHY? Because my "NET" is below the magic 1200. Its not there "on puprose" per se'. Its because Im learning and trying........trying my damnedest to lose this weight and do it the healthy way. I know all those other crap ways.........been there done it survived it and now Im trying this. WHY do you want to make me feel bad, or less than, or inferior or stoopid or whatever it is you're aiming for by making snide remarks about my food diary?? I wanna be here....I wanna learn...I even want your advice but please....spare me the snot nosed pompous arrogant self righteous Im better than you cuz I lost a bunch of weight judgment calls. Cant you just support me? I may have a lot of weight to lose but ya know what? I still have feelings...I feel your snide remarks and lil snipes. Im not immune to the sarcasm.

Dont push people away.......it's just as easy to be supportive as it is to snipe at others.

COMEON NOW!!! Lets help each other...be supportive.

I noticed myself that numerous people on here are quite judgmental on other memebers weight loss goals and strategies. I agree 100% some people need to tone down their remarks a bit! But on the other hand, you have alot of people that get on here and post THE MOST ridiculous things, like, " I am eating a 500 calorie diet, why aren't I losing?". I do not agree that starving yourself is the way to go about it. Weight loss and maintenance is a lifelong journey, not a temporary fix. You're absolutely right, what works for one may not always work for another! People should try different things, approach in different ways, and take/give CONSTRUCTIVE criticism on the site. No bashing neccessary

Completely agree! I think people have their own opinions, but assume they are right 100% of the time and just believe they are giving out amazing advice... when its different for every person!

Problem is some people think "supportive" means that people shouldn't point out what they are doing wrong, disagree with them, etc and QQ when they are called out.

That and others enjoy the anonymity of the internet so they can be jerks.

TBH, thats why I don't grab a circle of online cheerleaders and only friend people I know IRL. Fortunately for you there is an option to remove people as friends, so you can ignore them

Totally agree. Just because you disagree or someone posts the most absolutely ridiculous statement regarding their lack of weight loss, no one has to be mean & snarky. This weight loss journey is different for everyone and what works for you may not work for me. I'm here to learn and I'm open to constructive criticism. I can even take a little sarcasm but the meanness is so unnecessary.
