I've got some news for you guys that might hurt your feelings. But it seems like quite a bit of you need to hear it...
Like the title says, you're not special. Plain and simple. But I'll go in a little more detail.
We're all on this website for one common goal, and that's pretty cool. But I've noticed that the majority of the MFP population is full of fitness snobs. You've got great bodies, great motivation, great food diaries, and that's okay.
Some people don't. Some people aren't like you. Some people eat junk, and don't work out. And you know what? That's awesome.
You have no right to tell other people what to do with their life, and you certainly have NO RIGHT to police someone else's body and habits. It isn't yours, and it's none of your business.
I understand that there are some special cases where people's health is urgent, etc etc, but when it gets down to it, their choice is only their own.
Just because someone doesn't live the lifestyle that you do, doesn't mean you should tell them to change, and it in no way makes you any better than them. Everyone is different and while yes, if we were all a little healthier as a species that would be wonderful, it's just not going to happen.
You are fit, you are healthy, and you are not special. Sorry, but no one is.
can we also say that nobody is special and the junk eaters shoukdnt get butthurt when they ask why they cant lose weight and someone mentions their junk diary?0 -

Some people aren't like you.
No one is really alike even with common goals. That kinda makes everyone special, IMHO.Just because someone doesn't live the lifestyle that you do, doesn't mean you should tell them to change, and it in no way makes you any better than them. Everyone is different and while yes, if we were all a little healthier as a species that would be wonderful, it's just not going to happen.
I think you are taking suggestions and comments way too serious. Sure, not everyone is going to live the same, but you are on a public forum which is all about posting opinions and sharing experiences. You aren't going to accept/like/need all of them, but something will resonate and you can quietly filter the rest. Taking exception to anything more will get you no where.
For blatent trolls and those that need that kind of attention, just ignore them too. Again though, they are here and will post what they do.
All the best.0 -

I think OP was referring to those people who say: If you lose weight without LIFTING weights you're gonna look terrible and be skinny fat. So be gym junkies like us or you'll be a loser. LOSER!
Or some such.
Some points I agree with, OP, some I don't.
I think everyone is special. Some more then others.0 -

Am too special...mama says so.
On a serious note OP...not everyone is here for the same reasons...and a lot of the special people here that are fit and have great bodies and are healthy were not always that way. People ask questions and many of these special people give advice as to what helped them...how they got to where they are now. A lot of people on MFP, myself included, believe that there is more to this...particularly when it comes to long term success and sustained weight control than just "dieting". this isn't called MyDietPal...it is MyFitnessPal...a lot of people believe that proper fitness and nutrition play an important part in long term success. That doesn't mean you have to be a body builder or be ripped or whatever...just general fitness and nutrition goes a long way in achieving long term goals...like maintaining a healthy weight and BF% and good health.
I personally believe there are a lot of special people here, and I for one am truly grateful for the support and advice I've been given by many of these folks. They have cleared and steered a path for me...they know the pitfalls...they know how to stay on course. Without them, MFP would just be a bunch of idiots telling you to net to zero calories..take this magic pill or that magic pill...whatever. MFP would be a very stupid place without the "special" people.0 -

completely agree
Though it must be said that the "your" you used is incorrect. Your implies belonging to you. You're is combining "you" and "Are". Pretty sure that is what you wanted to say. :P0 -

Well...I dont know where you get your information. I have friends of all shapes and sizes and goals on this site. If somebody wanted to continue with poor eating habits and not exercise. Why the hell would they join a site like myfitnesspal. Maybe you should look for a site called myenablerfriends or something...that sounds much more up your alley. :P0
