Bodies, fat 'shaming' 

Dear tracker app: while I appreciate your desire to encourage weight loss you should track the edge cases better. Because 15lbs in 5 day isn't "Yay you did it" it's 1. scale error 2. water weight or 3. potentially a major medical problem with only a smaller chance of 4 useful weight loss.

A "whoa this is weird check your scale and are you doing ok?" would be more appropriate..

(in my case I think it's 1)

@Doephin I recently lost ~10-13 lbs over three days due to food poisoning.

Most everyone I've talked to about that has said "Wow! That's fantastic! I wish I could do that."

And I'm like... I literally felt like I was dying. This was serious illness.
