in Introduce Yourself
I need to get off that topic and add some friends! Please add me if you log on daily and want/need some motivation. I have no pics yet, they will be up soon. I am 30 years old, have two beautiful kiddos, 196 pounds, 5*7 and while I carry it somewhat well, I am fat and I need to get healthy! I am all about balance, meaning I will eat that ice cream if I can fit it in and while I try to eat as healthy as possible I will never eat totally "clean". Sooo, add me if you'd like :)

    Welcome to MFP. I was watching that thread, it's finally been deleted. Rather entertaining for a boring Hump Day morning, I suppose.

    Anyway, you can add me. I have been here for a year. I'm 38 and also have 2 beautiful girls, 11 & 16.

    Yes I am ashamed to admit that I followed it all the way through, laughed my butt off though!

    I'm saddened that you read it all the way through, yet still don't realize how serious a topic it is.

    I was not amused with it.

    I missed it...

    ...but am reasonably certain I would not have found it amusing.

    I need friends too!!!! I am basically doing this weight loss business by myself so any like-minded folks would be great.

    My name is Samantha (Sam), I am 33 years old and sitting in the cold wind (well inside actually) of Palmerston North, New Zealand. I am 5'7in and weighing in at 187lbs. This is the most I have ever weighed in my life and is really embarrassing. I am used to being fit and thin so being in this body is really foreign to me and something that I need to fix NOW!!!

    I am really glad to have signed up to MFP cause it will hold me accountable, especially if I can make some new friends (hint, hint) :wink:

    So here we go, all I know is that I never want to see that number (187lbs) again!!!!!

    The thread was actually insulting and very serious.

    I did not read it either so I am not sure what approach was taken, but one should not judge what they do not know. It isn't a choice it is an illness and certainly one the masses don't need to concern them selves with, but just try having an ed and find a councilor or Dr who will take you. They throw these people away. :( oh and if you are over weight and go to the Dr they HAVE to address it. If you are under weight they look away like some one passed gas...True

    What was the thread about specifically - was someone looking for support here or something?

    Wow...just wow. ProAna is not funny, nor is any thread that pops up relating to that disorder...including this one.
