    edit: just looked at it..jesus i wish i was at their heaviest weight! :( yeah not posting

    Thing is though, a lot of it is all relative, so I wouldn't feel too bad. :)

    Penguin reply

    The weight I'm at now is the heaviest I've ever been. Some people might think it's not that heavy compared to what their heaviest was/is, but it's heavy for me. I'm fairly small boned/slight, so any excess weight shows on me I feel, and I'm that used to seeing me smaller and got quite -can't think of the phrase - but for want of a better one....cocky and thought I would always be slim.

    People still probably think I am to a certain extent (my waist), but it's really noticeable where the weight has gone on, my bum, tum, thighs and face. :(

    I think the "person" posting is either a troll or a bot trying to collect data of some sort, or trying to stir up an argument/feelings.

    The OP i think is a returned poster under another name - someone who starts a thread then never returns to it. Never worked out what their game was but there's some strange motive, so I wouldn't take it seriously anyway. There's some odd people floating around the internet at times.
    ah one of those (theres one in here called hbk somrthing i think)

    doesnt seem to have had any more replies at loeast

    You're right, its completly dependent on the person, if you have a smaller frame than that weight will be heavy for you but not for those with a bigger frame i guess.

    You know, i laugh when i think back to when i was lighter and thought i was big then. I'm probably double that now! :eek: i wish i could kick some sense into past me at times.

    That's the one. Was PPRd so I think this is the latest incarnation. So in no way a genuine question to be taken seriously.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Probably one and the same. The one who created the weight thread has just posted on one from August last year by HBK.

    It really annoys me when people troll and never come back, Its a waste of peoples time for one, and unfair as sometimes people really open up on these posts and for what? nothing. :mad:

    I voted, even though it was only the police commissioner one here. The 1/4 mile walk to the polling station wiped me out, clearly not going back to work tomorrow!

    I always vote as well, only time I didn't was when I got home to a letter from my ex demanding repayment of a loan six years before the end of the term that she had suggested in the first place! (it was all to do with deferring part of the payment I had to make to buy her out of the house). Anyway, I completely forgot it was council election day at that point, and the polling card remained sat on the hallway table.
