    "Smaller clothes are better then fat people clothing"

    That's not negative...at all.

    And it should be "than" not "then". Unles you were trying to say "Fat people clothing is better AFTER smaller clothes".

    Wait. Wait. Too negative and helpful.

    Please try again.

    I will put it this way...OP...

    What you proposed was not only dangerous, it is against MFP policy. Period.

    I think it is ridiculous how negative some people can be. You make a topic and people post the most negative comments. I realized that they are just not worth my time. I want to thank all the positive people who have sent me messages & friend request. I'm here for support and motivations. I know a lot of my pals on here can honestly say I also help motivate them also. To all the negative people on here they need to be blocked. It's one thing to give your advice, suggestions and opinion but posting negativity is worthless. I signed up for tracking and motivation not sarcasm and negativity. With that being said I'm happy/thankful for all the positive people I have become friends with during my time on MFP! :) Thank you guys!

    Once again I thank the POSITIVE PEOPLE :)

    Someone is trying to feel better about herself by associating her behavior with "positive people." A sort of positive troll for the powers of good.
    Grow up.

    it's the patronising comments that really make me sigh-by all means give an opinion but comments like the above 'if you need your head patted, go to mommy' or whatever it said, what's the point? What have you gained by adding that at the end of your post?!

    Don't bother trying to tell people they should be decent on these forums-- you'll just get flamed yourself. Clearly, the way to weight-loss success means becoming bitter, condescending, pedantic, and using "sarcasm" and "humor" to put a thin veil over nasty comments.

    I really enjoY MFP as a weight lose tool. However, I have recently started reading the post out there in the community. What I will say I did notice that some people seemed angry with you instead of truly concerned for your health and trying to help (with the 10lbs in a week thing). I think that you should keep in mind that most people on this site have/ or had issues with their weight, which 9/10 leads to insecurity. This in turn leads to being bullied by others or feeling bullied by others- this is their opportunity to give it back on the computer where it is safe from the ridicule/judgement of their outter appearance and they are just expressing the anger that they feel/felt when others bully and treat them the way they treating you right now. It all makes sense really! Hahaha, and that is my too cents. I think to give your opinion is one thing but to be sarcastic and nasty is pointless. If you think the question is stupid, why spend the time commenting, unless it somehow meets some need for you?

    Positive does not mean "agrees with you."

    It is foolish to ignore the advice people give you because it doesn't come wrapped in the bow of your particular choosing.

    I took a colossal poop today.

    Congratulations on your loss! Way to go!

    Thank you! I totally should have weighed myself after it. I considered breaking it in half before flushing.

    They look so hungry. Must be eating 1200 calories a day.

    Yeah...gross, not net...they're netting like negative (-) 3,000 calories per day to lose 10 Lbs per week.

    Nothing to do with weight loss. We're all trying to win the internets. -10 internets for you.

    I agree. Whatever someone posts should be agreed with. If someone doesn't agree with whatever anyone posts they should be banned.

    This way everyone will feel better about themselves.

    No one's gonna lose any weight, but hey, at least this place will finally be "supportive".

    Thanks hun :)

    *yawn* Yes, assert your authority over me, please. Remind me that I desperately need the approval of strangers on the internet and need to feel like I "win" things, instead of what I'm really here for, which is to log my food and exercise and be inspired by others, both for good and for bad. Maybe if we were all out walking or lifting right now instead of bickering on the internet we'd have already achieved our health goals. Which reminds me, time for my second workout of the day.

    A little advice for those who are thinking of starting a rant thread on mfp: It's like putting lipstick on a dead hooker. It ain't gonna look any better.

    During the divorce from hell, I lost 30 lbs in 2 weeks. I couldn't sleep and I cried all the time. Needless to say at 5'1", that is a lot of weight. I finally went to the Dr. and he wrote me a RX that said go eat a cheeseburger and a milk shake. Oh, and some Valium.

    But the thing is... there are folks(such as the OP) who simply don't get the answers they want. So they cry about negativity.
    If you look at this thread or her previous one, she threw a fit because people told her that trying to lose 10lbs in a week was just not going to happen and it was a terrible idea to try.

    That's not negativity that is honesty and some people can't take that on here. So then the resulting fit... well things digress.
