    What I find lame is confusing disagreement with ñegativity or meanness. If you're saying something either incorrect or against common wisdom...you can expect yo be disagreed with. That doesn't make what is being said mean. There is no rule here that we all must agree. I will grant that sometimes things could be stated more diplomatically ...but not agreeing is not the same as nastiness.

    This thread was neither supportive nor motivational.

    You're fired!

    This is pretty much why I don't post topics. I'll comment, but that's it. I get what the OP is saying; and I also understand the contrary viewpoints.

    I think there's a balance; no, we don't have to be rainbows, glitter and sunshine to motivate one another, but there is a difference between being blunt and being rude.

    Candid: "Don't blame others for your predicament; you're a grown woman, you have to want to do it. No one else can want it for you."

    Rude: Guess what? It's your own fault! They're not trying to lose the weight, you are"

    Both are correct, but which one is helpful, and which one is not? I think that's what the OP is trying to get across.

    Aw, OP... I feel for you. Although you're kind of gettin riped on this one - I agree with your original point. The forums do tend to get kinda negative and bashy. You end up getting to the point that you don't read the responses - cuz they come down on ppl pretty hard.

    I love the .gifs, though :).

    My suggestion would be to get a nice set of friends in your list - and do the majority of your interacting with them. There are a lot of people on here that are actually very thoughtfull, encouraging, and intelligent....

    Best of luck :)

    Precisely. Telling someone to put on their big girl panties is not the same as insulting them. Sometimes motivation means telling someone to suck it up. I can't imagine my trainer saying, "Oh, I'm sorry you're sweaty and out of breath. You can go ahead, put down the weights, and go have a cupcake." Please. :huh:

    you should start a group full of rainbows and unicorns and only invite other people who need to have their hand held and be treated like a baby every step of the way :)

    and if you dont want to to that... then...

    Welcome to the forums were people are snarky, and 90% of the time the conversations turn into arguments then end up as GIF threads.

    Support =/= Agreeing or Coddling.

    If all the support you ever got was "Go for it! That isn't completely pointless, dangerous or ridiculously complicated compared to what it needs to be!", most people asking for support wouldn't get very far.

    Support is being realistic with people.

    Im sure Karma is super intent on watching the goings on of a free forum based calorie counting site. just like God and Sauron.

    You're the reason I'm fat

    You're the reason I'm on a mesa

    you two are the reason I snorted water out my nose.

    You're the reason we can't have nice things.
