So surprised by a lot of the comments... So many people on here are really nasty and rude on the forums. I can't understand it at all. None of us are medical Experts, or Fitness experts if we were ... well we would't be on here at all. Were all basically in this together to share the things that have worked for us or things that haven't. But I have seen so many suggestions or stories shared by members being attacked or dismissed by other members... It's a really weird thing when someone assumes their way is the only way and others are wrong on all counts and It's really weird when people assume it's a one size fits all system. I understand some people are going to disagree with peoples weight loss methods or diet, but isn't that the beauty of personal choice???? There is such a huge difference between educating someone and scolding or belittling other posters... No one needs to feel parented or bullied by anyone on here we are all just trying to figure this weight loss business out...

    Reminds me of religion. One church will always say its better than the one down the street. The truth is we all believe the same god and if we all work together, this world would would be so much better.

    I do agree, but it won't stop, unfortunately. People are going to have different opinions, not be good at expressing themselves with the written word (so something they intend as a joke could be considered offensive), not care of they offend someone because it's the Internet and they cowardly hide behind their electronic gadget, or perhaps they really are b!tches and @ssholes.

    We should support each other, but in the cases where someone is a fun sucker, don't let them get to you. Is like the school yard bully - if you react, they will continue. If you ignore, they go away. I just shake my head and move on.
