    I only get nasty with people if :

    1. They post about stupidity like Hgc diets which any person with half a brain knows is unsafe

    or

    2. Post something that has been over and over a million times and if they learned how to use the search function, they would find the answer...

    I am never mean to anyone, but this sight is meant to help people say on track
    and for information.
    The part I do no like is when people lie!
    Burning 400 to 500 calories a day and then going 3 weeks only losing 1 pound!
    They say they are only eating 1300 calories, NO WAY!
    The math does not add up!
    Be HONEST with yourself


    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    lol sorry it always cracks me up when people think that your body follows mathematical rules!!! gigglesnort

    I havent lost any weight in two years and Im active all the time and eat gorgeous 80% of the time... I must be a horrible no good terrible lying witch who is only here to mislead others by pretending to exercise.

    Because we're all eating like 1200 calories, starving, trying to compare ourselves to other thinner people on this site and it makes us all a tad bit stabby.

    Voicing ones opinion is not hate. If you can't handle someone having an opinion that differs from yours then you shouldn't post to a public forum.

    There are some for sure. They are sometimes trying to impress at the expense of the OP. but for the most part people here are helpful. Find support by building a supportive network and maybe not by posting to the Internet community at large. You can always search for a topic and see past threads as well.

    IMO they are probably are just regurgitating the hurtful things that were done to them as teens/children. I don't get upset with them, I just feel incredibly sorry for them.
    i like you...and i think you may be right. i am totally not going to let myself say all the things that i really want to say because then i would be a hypocrite. but i am going to say that reading certain threads in this forum have caused me to go to bed feeling
    down. But like a dog to its vomit i keep coming back for more.

    THIS THREAD WAS 2 MONTHS OLD! WHY DID YOU BRING IT BACK FROM THE DEAD!!! FFS!!!

    This is a fitness site. Aimed at losing weight and becoming healthier. Everyone is different. Why judge people so harshly? It seems that most people are in their own bubbles. If something is said that is outside someone's bubble. BAM! Hate comments. I don't understand. We are here to support each other! Has anyone noticed this? Am I the only one that feels really sad when someone is completely disrespected in the forums, even if I don't agree with what they are saying? Please try to be more understanding.
    All this talk about eating under BMR, eating back exercise calories, eating less than 1200. It's fine to argue over it, but most people jump to drastic conclusions and peoples' feelings are really hurt. Everyone is different, so everyone has their own weight loss journey. It doesn't make them a stupid or bad person. And, stop hating on people with EDs. They don't have one on purpose! Whether that have Anorexia, Binge Eating Disorder, or ED-NOS, it's not your place to tell them things that they already tell themselves everyday and that they already hear from other people!
    Sorry for the rant. I'm not sure if many people will read this. Please tell me I'm not alone in thinking that some people should have more respect towards others. Thanks!

    They're called keyboard cowards - people that let their true colors show only when there's no risk of them having to actually face the consequences of their actions/opinions/thoughts. I mostly ignore them because they're primarily looking for attention in the form of controversy and by giving them any attention at all you're validating their cowardly ways.
