    If it annoys you...why are they still on your friends list, then?

    Why does it bother you? Why do you care so much about what other people do? In what way does it affect what you are trying to accomplish?

    I don't understand.

    agreed. perhaps that is the only time they have computer access... please be kind, you never know what battles people are facing in their personal lives.

    MFP is like a swiss army knife... so many different tools and so many different ways to use it. Not everyone is going to use every tool on here the same way as you would.

    One thing I have learned that is if you have to start of by saying "I am not trying to be mean." You probably are and should rethink saying what you were going to say. This is something I have trying to teach my daughter.

    not EVERYONE can get on here everyday. maybe they keep tabs of their food and just record their workouts to see the numbers ..... or maybe they dont need to record their food because they already know how much they're eating.
    if it works for them it works for them. it doesnt work for you THEN DO NOT DO IT. do what works for you. and dont complain about what others are doing. ****

    That's the beauty of this site. You can use it as much as you want/need to. We're all different. I don't understand why it bothers you how someone else is using the site. And if it bothers you that much, just remove them as a friend.

    Can we save everyone the intellectual pain, and get a moderator to put this thread where it belongs? In the "this is bereft of human thought and support, and totally against MFP's point of existence" file?

    I like your analogy!

    There is no right or wrong. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. However, the title of the thread could have been worded differently.

    I could understand how it would frustrate you, but I agree delete them. Just keep in mind we are all here for dif reasons. They may possibly only be using this site for that reason. Keep your head up~

    Your opinion is fine, it's just not for the forums. I've seen threads like this crash and burn and really I see why. Post it on a blog! You have a lot of leeway with what you can say.

    i dont think its mean. Im one of those people that do not post my food here. i do my exercise. However, i log my food on weight watchers eTools. I like the fitness data base here better. Actually the food too but im counting points not calories. I do however sometimes track both to see how they compare.

    I think sometimes we get caught up in what others are doing and we need to just focus on ourselves, Its ok to vent frustrations and i think people are too thinned skinned.

    Feel free to say whatever you want. Not everyone will like it and thats ok too.

    I'm glad to hear this. Life is too short for you let these little things get to you.
