    This is very true... Mike and his boyfriend DMZ come to mind off-hand...
    I'm pretty sure that they and their friend Nutella are all the same person and are master trolls.

    It's simply too sad to think people like them are real.

    LMFAO.

    Don't think of them as "mean." Think of them as highly opinionated and stubborn.

    DAMN people! Your remarks could be a little kinder...

    She was just stating the obvious and I believe her point has been proven by the way that 90% have jumped in with rude/sarcastic comments...

    Hey if the OP or anyone wants to add me as friend for inspiration and advice. Please feel free. There is so much awesome beauty in the world and around us that I just do give two flying flips bout the negativity anymore. You have to move right past it without so much of a thought! Once you build a good circle around you of people who are happy with themselves and life....the negativity melts away! Good Luck!

    I haven't been posting or even reading these posts very much until recently, but wow.....has anyone else noticed how mean people can be? I'm afraid to ask any questions for fear of being ridiculed for being utterly ignorant about how my own body works. Yes, I'd like to lose weight; Yes, I realize it takes hard work and dedication; Yes, I am HUMAN and make mistakes, excuses, missteps, etc. No one is perfect.

    As I said, just an observation.

    Look. Life is cold and cruel. People here are very supportive. What do you want?

    Damn I'm so tired of weepy moist people coming and whining because some people on here can be a little blunt. Truth hurts. Deal...

    I have lurked here for a while but have only posted (I think) one other time, but I'm always puzzled by these threads. Go into the Success Stories forum and you will see thousands of people cheering on complete strangers. Not only is it not mean--it's positively heartwarming. I have teared up more than once reading them.

    But while I don't post in response, I do roll my eyes while sitting at my desk when, like clockwork, someone shows up on one of those threads in the Success Stories forum and asks, "How did you do it?" Some people just don't want to hear that it requires a calorie deficit and a little patience to lose weight. And, sorry, adults who indulge in that kind of magical thinking deserve to be ridiculed.

    Too many want their hands held while they continue to shift responsibility of taking care of themselves.
    Research, read and learn before posting or asking things that have already been addressed.
    It gets frustrating to those who have gathered and applied or supplied information that is readily available on this site.

    I think it's rude of you going around calling people rude. So there's that.

    Is it rude of me to tell you to get a life? I find it funny that people are spending time on here reading topics that people are posting
    and then complaining about it...
    Simple solution...don't read this thread! Go read another one that will suit you.
