Ok Angela I understand your point and as I have stated some of your comments have been constructive, but the comment about thin and brain dead, very fat, clever and so on does not sit well with me or the other posters (I'm sure I don't just speak for myself). This topic is about people losing a few pounds by whatever means they see works for them. I also don't believe in diets because it has been proven they don't work, I do however along with all the other posters believe in healthy eating combined with exercise but also understand how difficult it is to change eating habits, you become institutionalised to those habits and they are very difficult to be weaned off!!!
Please don't think we are using this topic as a joke - we aren't we are just trying to offer support to each other - yes I agree it is more light hearted but we are still taking it very seriously.
Your points Angela in the main have been constructive and your previous comment did prompt a response but not because we don't understand that an unhealthy lifestyle leads to ill health and medical problems later on in life, because we know that, it was the rather unsensitive way it was delivered.

But it was the way to get your attention, and if one person can see the point of not being consoled endlessly when the next piece of pizza or cream cake gets eaten that's fine.
Re the brain dead thing does not anyone see that was not meant literally, after my mother was literally brain dead I am not heartless, it was just one of those things said and not to be taken to the literal sense...
I am sure we all use phrases that sometimes would cause offence if taken literally.

OK Angela! Can you now stop treating us all like children and realise that we KNOW we have a problem and are all trying to do something about it!
Please exercise your sense of humour and see that behind the banter and self-deprecating comments, you are actually preaching to the converted! Maybe your efforts would be better directed elsewhere to people who DON'T give a fig what they eat, or how much they weigh!
I also find it very useful to preview my posts before posting them to make sure there is nothing that may cause offence to others!

Well if I am preaching to the converted then I give up, with grace.

Written by a medical, science and non fiction author, who is also obsese, she gives 106 (so far) amusing, supportive and helpful reasons for wanting to lose weight.
Take a quick look if you have a spare minute - its a very positive and inspiring read.

So Angela was that blaze comment supposed to be tongue in cheek!!! No it wasn't - it was a derogatory and negative comment, so no Angela I'm sorry if it wasn't meant to offend and wasn't supposed to be taken literally - it did and it was!!!
Anyway posters I am off to Zumba tonight and tomorrow I will have to mentally prepare myself (as well has wear a body suit) for thump because I suspect my sister wants to do me some serious harm... she is taking this class beyond serious now!!

I'm amazed that admin has not removed the first comment made on the 27th March concerning brain dead etc---I await the little verse that appears when an unwelcome reply/posting is removed!
I've read lesser contentious replies/posts than this person has posted and they disappear in a shot

Well I just hope Admin see that this has been a good topic and has had a great response and long may it do so, and it should not be closed due to difference of opinions.

I think we should show Angela a bit more respect. She is obviously what trendies in the 60s (1960s) called "self-actualised". She said she would prefer to be "thin", I assume she is so well done and "brain dead". We know from her omission of such theories as eg body somatotypes or metabolistic differences which have a genetic origin or the mytochondrial thermogenesis as involved in brown fat cells postulation, that she has achieved her second preference too over being fat and clever. I can simplify this if you want, Angela.
