'The Converter' has been banned for excessive use of the Quotation feature, so other offenders be warned.

 

Ok, I'm joking about that. She was banned for her pathological inability to comply with guideline 3. Go on, look at http://www.caloriesperhour.com/forums/forum16/1758.html to figure out which one it is.

She will be banned more swiftly if she tried to register again.

Yeah, I didn't mean to leave people out. I know there is a long list of people who have been successful losing weight. I just said the first few that came to mind, and seemed relevant. I hope no one is offended that I didn't mention them.

That was a SHE?  Wow.  Here's what I want to know....what was she trying to "convert" people to?  Did she have a book or product she was trying to sell?  I don't get the aggression.  Although I found a lot of it interesting.

I got plenty of PM from the converter were she was real insulting. She didn't like what I had to say back and called me insulting and petty. I said she reminded me of book smart person with no life experience:grin:. She said that spoke with  Governor's counsel on physical fitness  in her state yeah right. Hey will power we can help you much more then that person will ever do. Why would you want someone to insult you and call it help

I'm come clean and saying that whilst I have no definite proof either way, my prejudices and suspicious are that the poster in question is probably male and I was just joking in my post above. :smile:

So I'm assuming  the Self Esteem Myth got deleted due to this reason.

I guess I didn't get to read all of the offending posts.  After several people commented on them in their diarys I thought I'd check it out.

Oh well.  Now I know I need to be more careful about being rude to people and excessively quoting people which I have been evily enjoying lately.:wink::devil:  (just joking, you know)

LOL, that's what I thought, Sassykat. I thought oh gee, I am the next to get axed. I wasn't exactly nice to the person. I even got my potty mouth going, once... ok, maybe twice. :smile:

Plus, I am the worse at quoting post...... I must refrain from that sort of activity.:tongue:

I feel kinda bad that I just assumed she was a male because I was definitely gender stereotyping. That was definitely wrong of me to do. I assumed she was a guy because she seemed so mean and therefore un-nurturing! That was definitely wrong of me to do. It should not matter to me whether she is male or female... it should not have any affect on how I feel about her comments, but it still does. Whoops. Even now, I feel like it is good for her for standing up for her own opinions (of course she should not have said some in the tone she did) but I still feel differently than I did when she was a male. She seemed like such an a** then! I need to change that about myself....

Yea, but Stucksara, still brings up a good point on gender stereotyping. I do the same thing. If I know it's a man, then I automatically think he is just a jerk, when talking like that. If it's a female, I tend to just think they have issues, almost feel sorry for them, lol.

Oh? The Converter has been banned? Am not surprised and I don't think he (she??) is either. Fortunately or unfortunately, I'm used to harsh people...  but.. sigh... There is a distinction between being an a$$ hole and being hash/blunt, you know? Only if The Converter had rationality and knew how to differentiate between wit and sarcasm, boldness and rudeness.... Well, anyway, true intelligent and capable people don't have to say or remind you verbally how intelligent and capable they are... hahaha. pity. Anyway, I did find "information" and "opinions" that he's supplied interesting, but opinions get to have meanings when people are listening. haha. otherwise they merely become to be tools to give one a self indulgence, self satisfaction, and self congratulation that lead to false superiority of kinds. Well, I think he just needed to release stress and frustration of being unable to be someone he's dreamt of becoming in real life. Well, like Dr, House. hahaha I personally think Dr. House is really cool, (I love that show!)  but well, you've got to be pretty smart and capable to act like him while getting a respect and admiration, or you'd just look pathetic and sorry. I'd bet in real life, The Converter doesn't or can't act like he's been on this web site. People get a bizarre sense of confidence on the Internet thanks to anonymity. Sigh.. Sad thing.  Anyway, I believe The converter is smart and capable to a degree, but not the level of the fancy TV character. haha. (Oooops! Don't bully me, please, if you are still around!!:shock::shock:)

Most people like the converter are big an tough on the internet but in real a real softy. Kinda like how he would never answer my question of " would you tell your mother that" when he told someone to abort their child for possibly being over weight. I'm bold an to the point here an in real life but sometimes you go to know when it is right to to say , and how to word it. Some times I have been known to be a bit harsh and when I am and I see it I will acknowledge that I was wrong. We can't be perfect all the time

I just found it really offensive that he proclaimed to know all. I mean, I don't care how much it is that you know. You can't go around acting like you know what is best for someone else. That is the great thing about the human race. We are all different. We come in different sizes and in different shapes. I can't believe that all people have to lose weight the same way. What works for some, may not for others. I have no doubts that are studies that prove his points, but I still think that is just generalizing people into one category and frankly telling us that we don't know our bodies and how they work. In other words he is telling me, that losing weight can't not be accomplished any other way, then his way. Which just simply is not true.

I did notice that also, Hellrazor, that when I would make a good point, he would just conveniently ignore it.

what i think about a person who expresses such strong oppinions is that they areinsecure themselves and usualy needa friend. sometimes people can be realy suffering inside and might not understand why other people respond in certain ways(over eat) .so they tend to have a pragmatic answer and because they themselves have never suffered w/oe then they think thier perspective is clear. maybe he/she has realy been hurt byan overwieght parent and this is how they vent. too bad because thistype ofbitterness can errupt in uncurrable cancers. i hope the converter can find afriend to get out what is realy eating at him/her.

I can jog 1.5 miles without stopping, do military style push-ups and sit-ups, I have a dance class that's 3 days a week and it's all cardio for 90 min - 2 hrs. My friend and I are always outside hiking in the woods or biking. Between all of that and suba diving, I'm a very avtive person. I even watch my calorie intake and don't eat above 1600!

The problem? Why am I still so much overweight? I can't seem to lose weight at all.

I'm not sure if I screwed up my body or not by doing a load of crash diets back in junior high and high school.

I went on the 'Girls Meet Beauty' plan for 3 months when I was 206 and that's when I got down to my current weight. Ever since then I've watched my calorie intake and whatnot. Well, that was over a year ago.

Why is it I can't lose weight? Less I starve myself I'm out of options.

Can someone help me out, please?

Listen dear. May be by nature you're like this. You're not overweight may be.
But if you really want to lose some weight continue to do dieting & exercises. Keep yourself fit.

Thank you!

wow, what a thread! i just read thru the two pages and i am not sure what to think. this Cunvrtr person was very abrupt and unkind. I get the facts and point of what they were trying to say but it was overdone to say the least. how many people did that person make cry or feel even worse for their indiscretions with eating? cport is right, none of us are the same. Every body is made differently, with genes past down from generations. there are always going to be challenges for MOST people when it comes to weight. Knowledge helps, listening helps, finding outlets when you are disturbed helps, but being downright cruel to someone when they are down may not always be the answer. I know I am heavy, but the people around me tell me that i am beautiful, lovely, smart, and not overweight. I have not been called fat since i was in school with the bully girls who wore tight jeans and tshirts.
i am a fragile yet strong soul. I know I dont eat the best all the time, therefor I dont go around saying how come i am not losing? i know the answer to that already. I know I undo my own progress at times, and that is MY FAULT, but i surely dont need some stranger to beat me up and tell me that i am just like everyone else who is fat. I am not. I have polycystic ovarian syndrome. I found out when I was 28. I have been taking medication since then, and since then, I too conceived a child, and yes, I weighed alot more than i do now when I had her. I am now almost 50 pds less than I was when I gave birth and I intend never to get back to that weight. But I know also, that I will most likely deal with this condition all my life, short of having a hysterectomy that is. I will always have to watch the carbs because my body does not know how to break it down so the less in there the better off i am. BUT THAT DOESNT MAKE IT ANY EASIER?! I have an addiction to food, perhaps from my early years of being a latch key kid at home with no one to tell me not to eat. That started a ball rolling for me, or maybe it was when i was 5 and I got Guillian-Barre syndrome and wasnt able to walk for 6 months and that when i recovered i suddenly gained about 50 pounds and it never went away, even though i ate like any other 5 year old kid. Maybe my parents should have done more for me then, but I cant blame all of my troubles on that. And no, my mom didnt raise us on mac and cheese. We ate pretty healthy and didnt live on fast food as the kids do now. In fact, i try to recall as a teen ever going with my parents to eat fast food. Our problem was always eating too late at nite and never eating at normal times, and no portion control was never set for me either. I recall huge plates of spaghetti...and then going back for seconds. My parents never told me it was too much, in an italian house, food was our friend. I dont know exactly why I am the way I am, but I never walked around feeling sorry for myself not understanding why i was overweight. I knew inside that it was due to my eating alone after school, then eating again when it was dinner time, or stopping at grams and saying to her i didnt eat lunch, so she would make me a sandwich and then i would go home and eat again. Bored maybe? My parents never encouraged me to get involved for activities and by the time i could have i was too overweight to have the guts to try out. I wish now, looking back my parents had been more involved in my life, that mom had been there to take me to basketball practice or even softball or something active, like a dance class. I never didnt like the stuff, I just wasnt ever encouraged, she was always too tired or had to work and well, dad was always at work. My brothers were both active, football, basketball, baseball....but they were closer in age, they grew up together, and i grew up with the Kitchen.
Also, I want it to be known that according to my OB all of my thyroid, liver, cholesterol, etc are exactly where they need to be. I am healthy according to my doctor. Even though I am overweight according to the BMI charts, my body is healthy.


Not excuses, just awakenings and acceptance. I dont know why the Cunvrtr was so unkind, but maybe they too had a big problem with weight loss and got alot of abuse from someone or someones. Maybe they feel justified saying the things they do, but if I were still fragile and weak and really hating myself....that Cunvrtr would have broken me, I would not have come back to the site because I would have taken all of it very personally and walked away because I dont like to be treated that way. I am a human, and I deserve better and no matter what, you can say the right thing without saying it harshly.

I love you guys and how we all share. I am sooo glad that I found this site, because on the good days I can celebrate, on the bad I can vent, and in the end I always wanna come back so that I can continue to be accountable for my actions because my actions are not always something I am aware of until it has passed and regret and shock then sets in.

One day at a time and each day a triumpth no matter how small will get us to our goals.:grin::heart::rose::gift:

Many of the people who have taken your side have been extremely rude. The debates have gotten very heated, so it is easy for people to jump back into that mode.
When somebody pokes you you tent to want to poke back. We can disagree without being disagreeable. I got jumped for no good reason.  I think cport has some control issues.

I am trying to solve the obesity riddle and the reason for diet failure. I know it is touchy. I try to make it impersonal and non judgmental  for the people I counsel. I make sure they understand the mechanics of weight loss and fact from fiction. Then I get them to a place where they can more easily comply with what it takes to change their lifestyle to a healthy, honest and sane one. I have cured people.

There are a lot of myths about weight loss and obesity. There is a reason why most people fail to stay on diets. The difference between me and all the other experts is I know why people fail and I know how to get them to not fail.

I will cure the most intractable over eater here in front of everyone.
You aren't very good at spelling though. haha

LOL, I can actually laugh at this now. Not so much at the time....

I still can't read the whole thing without rolling my eyes. Control issues, I am the biggest push over on this earth, lol.

Jumped on him, ha, just returning the favor...

These are all things I wanted to say before, but didn't see the point in arguing with someone like that. You can't change them and you know they will never agree with you. So, why waste your breath.

Cure the over eater right here..... lololololololol :dizzy:

If anyone is interested, just received the below via e-mail

I just thought of something. You banned me for no reason and that has #%@&! me off. I have a whole lot of friends overseas. I am thinking about telling them what you did to me. They don't like #%@&!ing #%@&!s and sleazy snakes and they have the ability to shut down your site and or really #%@&! with it. Would you like me to explain to them them why you banned me or should I?

I think you owe me an apology and I think a decent person would un-ban me. I think weasels and scumbags who ban people for no good reason need a little do it yourself justice. We are looking at a win win situation for me. If you un-ban me I get justice and you get to keep your forum. If you don't un ban me I win because somebody, I won't know who because I will explain to them what you did to me and not ask them to #%@&! up your site, will shut your site down. I win because I get to see a scubag get #%@&!ed over. You lose.

It's your choice.

His e-mail shows what kind of person he is. Big ego, needs to be right all the time, and is better than anyone else.

That email does show he doesn't have a lot of dignity or self respect or respect for others.  Very immature.  Anyone can act like an idiot and threaten others, but it takes an exceptional human being to show respect, manners and tolerance.

I'm sorry you had to deal with that Nir.  I do hope you don't take it personally.  A person like that probably treats everyone the with the same crude, obnoxious behavior.  It's not a reflection on you, but on their own dim view of the world. 

If anything it just confirms that they really needed to be banned.  Now, if you could just block their emails.

I totally agree with you Sassy. It take a real person to admit when they have been wrong and what not.

I guess I don't understand why someone would want to be on a forum, where no body likes them. What is the point in that. I wouldn't want to be around a bunch of people who hated me.

I just don't get people sometimes... :dizzy:

By the way Nir, I am sorry you have to deal with that as well. You do a great job on here and you shouldn't have to put up with that. No matter what he says about you, you are loved by all of us.... So, he can stick that in his pipe and smoke it. lol

I just located the general discussions and thought I would read through a few to catch up with areas of the site other than my own journal.  All I can say is WOW, and I am so pleased that this person was banned prior to my arrival at this site.  He seems to miss the point of the site entirely- not just to learn from one another and to lose weight, but to have support. 

His repeated use of the word fat, and phrases like fat people and you people, made me sick to my stomach.  As a counselor, I work with many mentally ill children.  How would they react if I called them crazy?  And what about the students with cognitive disabilities, should I call them retards?  Technically true but incredibly insensitive, which I believe is a good description of much of what the Converter had to say. 

The message is lost in the delivery.  Sure, you could lock us up and each of us would lose weight.  Sure, it's a self-control issue.  However, he seemed detemined to strip away the humanity of the issue, and after all he is talking about humans, not animals!  Good to see that arrogant, condescending, inhumane voice is no longer active here.

So, unless you speak from experience, then you should go else where, cause no one here wants to hear it....

I have lost allot of weight and have continued to keep it off for about four years now. So, if I can help this person I will. But, I don't take kindly to you coming on here and telling me that I am full of BS. 

Plus, I am not going to argue the facts about a flipping calorie, cause what works for some people doesn't FLIPPING WORK FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:angry::angry::angry:

gee, wondering right now, if this isn't the same stupid person that was talking all his #%@&! about being a glutton..

 

Actually the laws of physics apply equally to everyone.

I never said you were full of BS even though you are. You handed out some really absurd blather and because I am an expert and you aren't I repectfully corrected your blather with factual reality. Here is what I wrote.

With all due respect what you are saying is bogus. A calorie is a calorie and there is absolutely no scientific evidence that shows that carbs are any more efficient at causing fat gain than fat or protein.

Another myth is crash dieting can "mess up" metabolic rate. That too is bulloney.

The answer is simple. His TEE Vs TEI is at the correct balance for his body to maintain 194 pounds.

If he is slightly active it takes about 3200 calories to maintain 194 pounds.  Add 4 miles of running and we are looking at about 3650.

Contrary to popular belief the BMR variance in like individuals is nearly immeasurable. This fact is backed up by over 100 years of metabolic testing using various methods. The results are always the same.

If you want to sabotage a fat person just fill their heads with a bunch of #%@&! about the physics of weight loss.

You are over eating by about 500 to 600 calories a day. That is pretty easy to do if you are not being vigilante about counting. If you eat good food it is a whole lot easier not to over eat.


Why are you lying and putting words in my mouth?

I do not want to delve into all your issues here but I do think you are taking things a bit to personally and there is a paranoid flavor to your writing. Maybe you should see about getting your meds adjusted. Oh and... who died and made you boss?


Oh my god, someone opened a can of worms... Mj, you are to blame. I was reading through the post and came across this. I just have to speak my mind on all this.

Ok, what he says is true, but being a person that has had weight issues, I don't agree.

He says that if you conform to a certain way then you will lose weight. That is correct. The problem is that most people including myself can not do that. So, we need to come up with a different plan. Like cutting the carbs, getting rid of the sugars, and so fourth and so on. I think what this person doesn't get, is that we are all different and that what works for one person may not work for the next. Yes, bottom line, it comes down to the calories and stuff. But, if you can't do that for life, then what, you just put it all back on..... So, we all are all here making up a plan, trying to figure out what it is that we can do to lose weight and stick with it for life. Not just a quick fix. Which is what it would be if we don't stick to it. So, more or less something that works for the individual person. He is generalizing us all into a group of people, and not looking at the individual. To me, reading his post is liking saying I am a loser and I can't accomplish what I want because I am not doing it his way. WHICH IS BS...... So, I guess I am not the only one full of it.. :wink:

I was prescribed Xenical yesterday and have started taking them. I eat a very healthy breakfast, a reasonably healthy meals there after. It's snacking between meals that does it, especially at this time of night (10pm). Now I'm also going to try Phentermine
My question is that I know I can only take 3 a day, could I not take one after breakfast and take one at lunch, dinner and later in the evening?

No, Converter wasn't a she. He is Christopher Gerald Brady, 56, of Jacksonville, NC. He's also "BFB", "Ball", "JSABD", and "CG Brady".

The guy is obsessed with how evil fat people are and in how he alone can redeem them/cure their gluttony.

from http://matildatuesday.blogspot.com/p/forum_10.html

Christopher Gerald Brady, aka "M2" aka "Fat Bastard" aka CG Brady aka "Proud FA" and others, is a brain-damaged HVAC engineer from Jacksonville, NC. Mr. Brady was born 6/15/1955 in New York, which means he's nearly 56 years of age instead of 12, even though his posts would tend to make you think he's the latter. He started his anti-fat crusade about eight years ago. It seems his wife getting up to a size 12 during menopause helped to crystallize his extreme anti-fat and anti-woman views.

Chris Brady enjoys being cruel and getting revenge on those he thinks have wronged him, which now not only includes his wife but all fat people by extension. Hence, his obsessive behavior on this and assorted other message boards across the Internet, which typically results in his getting banned.

He went onto one message board to try to find a hot slender young woman with whom to cheat on his wife. Because, as he's pronounced here and elsewhere, getting fat while you are married is not only insulting to your spouse, it entitles your married partner to cheat on you with abandon.

Lately he's been making his deranged rounds on assorted anorexic's blogs too. He feels the need to lecture them about how they don't really have eating disorders. Bulimia, you see, is not a real eating disorder. It's only an excuse for not-yet-fat women to eat more without getting fat!

Other key Brady dislikes: women undergoing menopause, alcoholic and abusive mothers (like his), doctors (he blames them for killing the aforementioned abusive alcoholic mother with a dose of ativan) , insurance companies, Tea Partiers, southerners, and women generally.


Though I'd love to know how you and/or they figured all of this out

Simple. It's easy to find his verbal droppings all over the Web. He's given enough information about himself across various sites, including this one, that it was easy enough to put the pieces together. He even put his DOB (6/15/1955-- happy birthday, Chris!) on one posting somewhere.

His overall approach, his singular focus on the perceived wrongdoings of fat people, and his writing idiosyncrasies are enough to identify him by. Mr. Brady routinely trolls diet, pro-anorexia, and fat-acceptance forums and blogs throughout the web, but his message is always the same. He's also convinced he has singularly found a way to cure fat people.

Chris Brady is the man behind "Bigger Fatter Blog", which is supposedly a spoof of us fat folks and exposes how hedonistic, etc., we are. Chris posts as "Fat Bastard", "Proud FA", and most of the commenters there.

Brady sometimes lies about himself around the Web and also denies he's "Fat Bastard"/"Proud FA" from Bigger Fatter Blog, but admits he is a brain-damaged, visually impaired, and spinally-damaged HVAC engineer who lives with chronic pain--something that no doubt makes him that much more cranky.
