What's with rating personal profiles?

I understand having the five star system to rate forum topics' date=' groups, etc. However, having it to rate an actual person feels so, I'm not sure... icky? Judgmental? Rude? Classless? We all have worth in various forms. I'll tell you, I didn't think anything about it until I visited my own profile to update my weight and saw that I had been rated four stars. I'd like to say that it didn't matter to me, but it kind of hurt. Don't get me wrong, if you knew me in person I'd probably be found to be a two star individual on my best day, but this is a place I come to for acceptance, because we all share a huge similarity in our journey. I come here to speak openly and honestly about my struggles and victories with my sleeve, and to post questions without fear of ridicule. I guess it just bothers me. And, no, this is not a plea to visit my profile and rate me. It's a desire to have this aspect of the site removed all together.[/quote']

I can't see stars on my iPad. Probably a good thing as I likely don't have any lol. (You can't go negative can you?). But in all seriousness, I totally agree with rating doctors, but posters? Ridiculous. It sounds like something the mean girls club would put in place. I hope they get rid of it. It's very juvenile.

(This now ensures I have negative sixteen stars lol).

Funny...when I was in rotary I found out they give a badge for attendance. Having been the child of someone who worked undercover regularly, I was never able to get that badge in school, which as a small child bothered me. I skipped the next rotary meeting to make sure I'd not win the badge, thus putting me in the "total nerds and proud of it" category :P. spending too much time on stars would likely do the same...and I have so little time for a campaign heh heh. VOTE FOR ME!!!!! I'm cool and stuff lmao. (I'm not, please don't lol).

Hehe.. I wrote about this about a month ago! I was updating my profile... I had never even noticed the grey stars by my name until that day.

Why? Because someone gave me a big fat 1 star rating!

Yes folks! 1 star!!!

I think your right' date=' it is wrong on so many levels!

(Hint I was able to see the last few people that visited my page.. So yeah)

Oh and by the way can you stop by proudgrammys page and up her stars to five I keep trying but It's not working.[/quote']

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
