    Thank you for your participation. We're sorry to see you go. I'd suggest re-reading the entire thread top to bottom. Let's have a play by play: sherytuta posts a topic at 9:58 AM this morning ti

Maybe...

Have you spoken to your doctor or nutritionalist about this?

Are you logging your food intake?

Are you trolling?

My doctor didn't see me for a year now I don't have a nutritionist my doctor yells a lot

Post your story. Do you use my fitness pal or any other food logging software?

Logging is the best way to determine if you really should be loosing weight because you will see calories in and calories burned.

Again though... we know very little about the last 16 months. Was there an initial loss, did you gain some back? What are your eating habits like now.

Unless you're willing to post a LOT more information, there's very little advice we can give you.

Troll Alert!!! 5 posts after almost a year 1/2 out and barely any weight loss??? We would've heard you crying months ago. Move on

Yeah... if the next post doesn't contain substantial details I am done. I've asked questions in 3 posts now and I'm not getting anywhere.

PLEASE stop calling posters trolls. If you have an issue with any post, please REPORT it. I don't care how implausible or unbelievable the post is. Can you imagine being a failure for a long time and finally have the courage to come out about it, only to be called a troll ? This isn't how we welcome people on VST. Thanks in advance for your understanding.

Never once did I call the poster a troll. In fact I have spent several posts legitimately trying to help this person.

The more I think about this, the more it upsets me that I got called out and embarassed. I am the ONLY person that posted on this person's question that tried to help her and I am being scolded.

It may seem like I'm taking this pretty hard but I have refrained from posting after the "people are mean" posts started. I actually posted more today than I have in a long time & trying to contribute to the community. Perhaps it's just poor timing, but I'm retiring from the forums this time.

That's very scary something doesnt add up.

Don't take it to heart two. Everyone can see that you were trying to help. Don't go. I may need you!

You asked if they were trolling in your very first post to them. It seems Alex feels that was accusatory enough.

OP...I hope you come back and share more details so the vets here can help you.

I'm sure that is very frustrating. Is there a support group you can attend? A nut you can visit with?
