And....enter the gym/nutrition snobs that think they have it all nailed down and complain abut folks trying to better themselves. Meanwhile, said snob probably won't be here next year either....
And most of them never bother to help others anyway.
I resemble that remark...0 -

The good news is that it won't last long!
Unfortunately, you're right, it won't. The fact that a bunch of the resolutioners will filter out by February sucks, because it means that as a people we still haven't mastered the whole "hey let's actually stick to something that will keep us healthy for life" thing and will go to the next quick fad that jumps our way.
What I noticed at my gym is that they try to go too hard the first few days, I overhear them talking about cutting their calories way too low and exercise them too much and they get burnt out. It sucks that so many people go in blind and when they don't have the results they want, they quit. I was lucky enough to have MFP. That's right, all of MFP's big bullies helped me in the long term. Thanks bullies!
They come on here like that too! Batten down the hatches, I say.0 -

I say get prepared to help out some unfortunate souls with proper advice and information. Can't make them listen, of course, but a few of them will take heed.0 -

I don't worry about such things! I roll my *kitten* out of bed at 5am and take my *kitten* to the gym. Been going to the same dank gym on base a few years now! The one that allows chalk! Every once in a while a new face appears, but most won't last. Even the hardcore gym goers will change to later day workouts! A few new faces will probably appear after the New Year, and if they wanna join the club, I welcome them! If they don't, then they will either quit or move their gym time to later in the day!
I honestly don't understand why anyone cares! Go to the gym! Do your thing! We all start somewhere! I started as a 16 yr old 145lb little weakling and was intimidated because I felt I was being judged! Apparently I was right!
I bet a million dollars most people posting on this are fairly new to the gym as well...just because you've been going a year or two doesn't make you an expert!0 -
I'm glad I don't have to worry about that...

I find that the biggest reason people don't stick to being healthy is that this wasn't the goal in the first place. Too many people just want the look.....Most people just wanna be skinny not healthy.
So, so true! I think part of the reason why I was never able to lose the weight (and then keep it off) before is because I didn't care much about health, I only wanted to be skinny. Until you become passionate about being HEALTHY, you'll never be able to lose the weight and keep it off.0 -
And those of you hoping they fail are terrible, terrible people.
I embrace my own terrible nature so...yeah. Continues to wait in dark twisted anticipation.0 -
