You’re as much a bully as Creekimp. Do you ever think for yourself, or do you simply follow Creekimp around and applaud everything she says? We had girls like you two in high school.

Does anyone know how to report this? I know this type of name calling is against the TOS even in the rants and raves. @alexbreacher ?

Different people have different plans and even for people with the same plan different things work.

I can’t eat a lot of carbs or I want more carbs. Plain and simple. My surgeon is OK with people adding carbs back in at goal IF they can maintain with them. I gain if I open the door too wide. You will have to figure what works for you.

For me it’s no bread, Pasta (except for chickpea or edamame pasta once a month or so) no potatoes (white or otherwise) no rice (white or otherwise). If I’m running 6+ miles I have have some fruit or oatmeal. I can sprinkle a tablespoon of cocoa nibs or unsweetened coconut on my yogurt or some berries.

But yeah, low carb. I have Beans or ancient grains maybe once or twice a week. A cookie or few bites of cake or a couple of French fries a couple times a month. I’m not that rigid but they aren’t a regular part of my diet. I didn’t “add them back in” they are a very once in a while treat.

I have nothing else to say and as such will not be responding to any further discussion. My remarks are solely based on my observations and direct experiences with Creekimp. I stand by everything I said and I am glad I said it. Glad she says she is leaving.

Ummm wow.

Yes when you read carefully I know that’s what you SAID. But people don’t always read carefully and skim so I wanted to clarify. I wanted to put it out there that low carb does work for many.

Some it doesn’t. I think there are people who regain from many camps and I honestly don’t think there are more of them from the low carb camp. I don’t have statistics but I would love to see any you know of. Posters on this board don’t present a balanced view of the population.

Wow this thread went south in a hurry! Yikes.

Not sure if there is a point here but I believe every person should love the way they look no matter what but that is not always as easy as it sounds. If you are happy with yourself and your appearance that is all that matters and you should stay right where you are. For me, weight loss is much more about health and enjoying my life than how I look. I want to be as healthy as possible for as long as possible and I am amazed this is happening to me at age 60.
Creekimp13 is much more than strong opinions--she IS a bully.. She is convinced that her way is the only right way and constantly criticizes and denigrates others who do not eat like her calling them stupid names and predicting their failure. She has insulted and denigrated me and my profession while showing her self-satisfied ignorance and denigrated and insulted others on here, stating their diet caused all their health problems and saying we are all going to need a kidney transplant because we don't eat a crapload of carbs. I am not a "ketoevangelist" and have researched the difference between the various diets....one size does not fit all.
Someone who used stats of a professional male bodybuilder to justify her overweight BMI is just ridiculous. I do not care what she says she weighs or what she says she eats but there is no reason to be so nasty about it. I have not encountered anyone else on here that is so dismissive and disrespectful of others.
Great she has a couple of buddies to jump in here and defend her

Of course we have to take your word for it since you never post any sort of a progress photo....I am glad you have such a high opinion of yourself. I think you are the most rude, judgmental and insecure person I have encountered on here and you have a deep need to bully others to help you feel better. You may feel beautiful but your soul is ugly.

And of course someone who had surgery 17 years ago, failed and then a repeat 2 years ago does not even post their statss....your opinion really means a lot. Why don't you tell YOUR story of regain and where your are now. But jump in and run your mouth. pure class.
There is no high horse, I am just working hard on making the changes I need to to feel better and be healthier. I don't seek or need the approval of others but I am fed up with the bullying that occurs on this site. I come here for information and friendship only. I do not need to try to denigrate others for their choices or make others feel like they are ignorant. You want to eat a ton of carbs that is your decision.
Much easier to jump on that carbage bandwagon and have a muffin with the delusional and very rude queen of crappy carbs. Most people on here do not need to tear others down with their delusional stupidity but clearly you do.

Well, this is the first time you compared yourself to a male professional bodybuilder in his 30s....you SAID you were an ape but now I am not sure. Maybe your doctor is going by the male charts for weight and body fat. Is there more to this story? BMI is reasonably accurate for most outside of professional athletes and bodybuilders. Per one of my mentors, "that number (pounds) does not follow you around but that a$$ does". You can use data from your doctor any way you want to justify staying overweight. Not my circus, not my ape....
I am the same height as you and fairly large boned and at age 46 I effortlessly kept my weight at 150-155 and always lost down to about 145 in the months before our annual ski trip to Lake Tahoe so I would feel more comfortable in skin tight ski pants. I then started gaining weight (perimenopause) overeating carbs for several year. I found Atkins at age 50 and went from 220 to 180 about 9 years ago and I still felt and looked fat. However, I decided to end a 30 year nicotine addiction thinking I was on a roll. I went OFF the low carb diet I was on and started eating the carbage you promote. Low carb did not fail, I STOPPED DOING IT. The rest is history...
Eating fruit, potatoes and muffins is not going to get me where I personally want to be. Hope that continues to "work" for you.

No. Read what I wrote again. I'm saying if people fail repeatedly on low cal and Keto they need better advice than "you need to do low cal and keto."
I absolutely agree that there is no "one size fits all" which is why the same advice over and over (even when linked to previous multiple failures) seems so tedious to me.

i'm not overweight, MIZ. Nor was Arnold Schwarzenegger overweight when he won Mr. Universe in spite of the fact that his BMI was in the obese range.
My percentage of body fat is normal and healthy per my doctor and my weight on a underwater scale. BMI is a very flawed measurement...you would know this if you researched it.

Of course, if you set your goal at a point you are still considered overweight that makes it a bit easier to maintain.
I eat plenty of carbs, just not processed crap (microwave muffins, chips, Cookies, candy) or starchy carbs and very little fruit because I don't like it. I eat healthy vegetables and healthy fats at every meal as well as lean Protein (chicken/fish) and I really do not feel deprived.

You need to get away from the forum as it appears you’re on here 24/7. And even though you posted in the Rants category, you are attacking people’s comments that appear in the regular categories.
Sorry, but when you begin making fun of other people, it’s time to leave.

This space for rent

If we look at the evolution of our gut, and our gut microbiota...we were not meant to eat animal Protein heavy diets.
Our closest primate relatives, chimpanzees, orangutans, gorillas and bonobos...are omnivores who eat very little meat. Most of their diet is fruit, vegetables, nuts, leaves, bark...tons of Fiber. Tons of plant matter. Tons of sugar..fruit, figs, honey. Tons of carbs. And a small amount of bugs, eggs, and meat. A very small amount. Like 5-8% of their diet.
Interestingly....the people on Earth who have the longest lifespans and least heart disease and cancer....eat a diet very similar to our primate counterparts. Mediterranean Diet includes lots of complex carbs, lots of fruit and vegetables, nuts, olives, plant oils, fiber...and a small amount of meat, eggs, dairy. The bulk of daily calories comes from high fiber carbs.
Thinking about the human digestive system, and the human renal and cardiovasuclar systems....the idea of doing an animal protein heavy diet that limits carbs... for more than a temporary period of time... quite frankly....scares the hell out of me for the future of my heart and kidneys. We just weren't built to eat this way.
Dr. Atkins...of the Atkins high protein low carb diet died at 72. A medical report issued by the New York medical examiner's office a year after his death showed that Atkins had a history of heart attack, congestive heart failure and hypertension. His widow would not allow an autopsy.

This thread has become more about how pathetic someone can become when they can’t let go. They act like a child throwing a temper tantrum. Is this how they are outside of the forum?
Sounds to me like some form of personality disorder.
They can’t stop themselves from acting like a fool. Sad and pathetic.

Wow. Quite a vent section!

Amusing that the two continuous, massive posters (in many sections)
Are the ones that joined
2 1/2 MONTHS AGO!
Not so much time spent adjusting to different posts and diets! Just my rant today....
a comment is fun
1000 +Literally ! isn’t so amusing or informative

Here’s another bump for people who are so seriously addicted to this forum, that they count the number of posts and bumps. SMH.

Sweetheart, I don’t care if you block me or not. And why are you giddy over a bump? Seriously?
