I’d sit back and make some popcorn, but it has too many carbs. 🍿 love ya, DP.

I try to emphasize that my WOE & habits are what work for me. If you're just starting, maybe you can utililize some of my methods. I understand different methods work for others. Even if I don't subscribe to someone else's lifestyle, WOE or methods, it's not up to me to critique them. I refrain from making negative comments no matter how I feel. Even if you want to offer advice, there is a polite, kind way to do it.

When I first signed on to FS and started tracking my food this person was at it then, too, so I waited for a few weeks before I made my profile public. It would be nice if they ever do an upgrade to be able to block such people from being able to comment on your journal. Everyone's weight loss journey is so personal and folks usually try many different WOE to desperately find one that works for them. Thanks for your insight. 😊

Fat secret is really crappy overall and a block feature is something anyone who has been on here for any length of time wishes for. Believe me. 😆

Preach sister! I’ve missed all the drama (whew), but I agree wholeheartedly. We are all different and different things work for each of us. At one time counting calories only worked for me, another was intermittent fasting, another low fat and now I *try* to do them all because that’s was what was working recently. Who cares what works for us unless they are looking for things to try and see what works for them?

I been on this FS app for a long time because I enjoy the compassion and devotion people are to succeed with their journey. Everybody has their own method of weight loss or maybe they will learn new ways to on here. To tell someone about their habits or methods is wrong and unacceptable 😔 That is rude!! I Would only encourage you.

True and the comments were great too. I think most of the diet sites are fairly crappy. Mostly just social groups though and I do need that aspect. There is no
"one size fits all" diet. Each of us has to find our own way to health. You found yours and so have many others. Some people have a harder time because they have a lot of issues to deal with like diabetes, heart disease, thyroid deficiency, inflammatory disease, decreased kidney function, etc. A former doctor of mine prescribed a diet for me years ago when I was thin that almost killed me. It was a great diet for many people but I ended up in the hospital on it. If people need expert help they won't usually find it on online diet sites run by lay people. Even doctors don't know enough about diet. I hope that I can finally find what works for me. I've lost a lot of weight but, like my doctor points out, I have a long way to go.

Princess what a great post. Ive said before it was best just to ignore that negative behavior. There’s clearly something really wrong going on with a person to be so unkind. Especially on a health journey. To all of you who let the names bother you please try not to. I call myself chubba and the voice in my head trying to get me to make bad decisions “the fat kid” talking. If there was never an acknowledgement of any kind what kind of satisfaction would he person being unkind receive? Ive been fit and I’ve been fat. Fit feels better but fat tastes better. So it’s exactly what a lot of people on here have said. Find a way of eating. Not a diet. A way of eating that works for your health and your objectives. I certainly dont feel like i will never struggle again but the fatsecret community is so helpful with food ideas, exercise and funny comments. And the kind support far overweighs those who are awful. I read the interaction yesterday and it was just bullying behavior. Someone who is unhappy in their own skin. Don’t let it get to you. Keep working toward being healthy.

Thank you, DP! I chose the WOE that I did because I gained 24lbs IN TWO MONTHS (I had actually gotten to 257) before I came back here. I KNOW I have hormonal issues, food addictions, and problems with emotional eating. I am not ashamed to admit it. "My name is Jennifer, and I am a sugar/carboholic..." This is MY journey and the WOE that I have chosen is helping me with all of that. I could care less what she or anyone else thinks. @Lady I chose to leave her comments up so that everyone here could see how ugly she is on the inside. Thanks again DP! 😘

What a great post DP! I too have had conversations that turned quickly and that just isn't necessary. Anyone can disagree with me or vise versa and we can converse about it but when name calling, assumptions, and just plain meaness enter in, I'm out. I understand I have a slightly different WOE than some others and that's absolutely ok! I would never think of condemning someone for the way they chose to eat or lose weight. None of us know what back story etc others have so it's ridiculous to assume we could possibly know what's best for them. I learn so much from other members and I appreciate them tremendously! I mean really, how hard is it to be nice? It's the right thing to do and maybe someone we reach out to may really need an encouraging word.💜💜

DP you are a fantastic soul. If there was a way to add a gif of someone giving a standing ovation, I would for you! These emojis will have to suffice. 👏👏👏👏👏

For those who do not know, there is a "Report Abuse" link at the bottom of the online web app, and "Contact Us" (then Community) under the Me section on the phone app. How much it does, is questionable. But if you grab the link to the offending journal, and give as much detail as possible, perhaps several voices will be heard. Just a thought.

This is a spicy episode of The Real Housewives of FatSecret

@Audreymanning89 Sad it didn't have to get spicy if the unpleasant person had not started exploding on us.

I don't visit here because it's entertaining. I come here because I need to maintain my body weight and use diet and activity to control diabetes. I'm more than 70 years old and don't have time for drama. I'm so glad I missed it...
