Hmmm, I've heard of trolls under the bridge and troll dolls but what is a troll on this forum? Color me under-informed.

There are sick people who join sites and pretend to have the same issues and then spin really unbelievable stories; then feel great when people believe them.

It's very common on pregnancy boards.

It's also common on boards for people dealing with infidelity in a marriage. I've seen a few posts that made me go "huuuuh????" on here.

Trolls make inflammatory comments then sit back and watch the sparks fly. When they get something stirred up they keep adding gasoline to the fire. People get caught up in the fray, start picking sides, and bad feelings, anger, and hate set in. Before you know it your happy little forum has been ruined. A dog forum I belonged to was torn apart by trolls.

The best defense against trolls is to ignore negative comments. If you must respond do it calmly and reasonably but don't get caught up in an argument. Trolls don't want to be persuaded, they want to be entertained by conflict. If they can't get a rise out of anyone, it's not fun for them and they go away.

I recently received a pm from a troll member, telling me I was the recipient of $8.6 million....I reported the member and the message. It was funny, because the members name was Helen and the profile pic was a man in a suit, lol.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
