Maybe between those who are new and can't figure out why the scale won't move eating 1200 calories in Twinkies. And then the rest if us.

*sigh*. Is that bullying?

    Or women by IQ.

    I wish I could go back to noobland, before I knew how cynical you all were. And how grammatically correct.

    I thought we were here to help others. I think until someone gets some experience under their belts the questions seem redundant. Its all a part of learning.

    Should be split up in the following ways..

    (1) People who don't have a clue
    (2) People who have a clue and working that way
    (3) People who have a clue but still don't work that way -- because either they can't help it or obstinate...

    Hypersensitives and those without a modicum of humor also get to go on the Twinkie side.

    Yeah. There are some people who refuse to believe that calorie quality makes no difference. I am a firm believer that it does. Mostly because of my personal experience. I never lost any weight eating 1200 calories in garbage. In fact, some of that stuff only creates more hunger for me. I have to boot camp myself because if I get too willy nilly on my off day I will kill a bag of chips, or box of cereal, or bag of cookies.

    Yes! WE all could do better if there were more unclinching and less getting offended at the drop of a hat!

    I lost 40lbs of fat in 3mos eating mostly Taco Bell.

    i'd actually just like to get rid of all the "rate/date/hump/dump me" threads. send them to a secondary site.

    You forgot the "which HRM should I buy" group who don't know how to search which should be in with them.

    Personally, I'd rather see "I'm not loosing weight" threads over "who would you rather bang" threads.

    I'd much rather see noobs posting questions which may or may not be silly to others than the "my dog at my cat and ran off with my husband" threads.

    Why you pretending to judge us by IQ? Why not cup size?

    What's a scale? I don't get it. I'll ask what a calorie is later.

    We were all new here once and I'm still learning every day.

    It's worth it if out of all those threads, at least ONE person listens and gets the help they needed.

    Ok, but if they all get twinkies we get ding dongs!

    Wait, hostess went out of business...
  • In my opinion yes that's bullying. Maybe the ones that are eating the 1200 in twinkies are looking for encouragement from the ones that have been here longer and can give advice and cooking ideas. Loosing weight is not just a diet but a lifestyle change. For many people they really don't know where to start. Some think, "well I use to eat 2000 calories in twinkies, now I only eat 1200. But I'm still not loosing weight." A good friend will encourage and offer other snack ideas.

    Or maybe all the Eat More To Lose more folks should start their own website instead of staying here and bashing everyone who does better on a lower calorie diet?
