People lying about fitness diary.

MireyGal76

I've been adding friends, and there is one girl on my thing that has to be lying about her calories burned.

This was one of her things:
burned 4112 calories doing 1430 minutes of cardio exercises, including "Walking, 3.5 mph, brisk pace"

1430 is almost 24 hours, and that just isn't possible, I'm sorry.
Another one was for 550 minutes which is almost 9 hours, which could be possible but it's very unlikely.

Why would you lie about your amount of calories burned it just doesn't make sense to me.

you do realize that your news feed shows that you created this post. And IF she is a friend of yours, there's a good chance she will READ this. You put detailed data in here too, so she'll likely know it was her.

I have a feeling that you kinda shot yourself in the foot, as I would rather have someone who might be lying about their calories burned on my friends list, than someone who will call me out in a public forum about something that may be a misunderstanding.

If I were the girl, I would be embarrassed, hurt, and not at all happy.

Is it everyday? Or is it once in a while. Maybe she is an Ironman Triathlete... (12 hours average). Maybe she is an ultra-runner (100 miles at a time). Maybe an ultra-cyclist (Coast to coast in 7 days).

Yeah, not likely, but ask HER.... not us.

I have in the past deleted a few friends who consistently logged utterly ridiculous calorie burns. It was annoying to see in my newsfeed and I'm not required to be friends with people who are lying to themselves. Maybe in this case though she just mislogged something? Made a simple entry error?

Locking thread as it's promotes drama.
