The stickies are coming back! http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/34117508/#Comment_34117508

I expect that most of these will be included in the new sticky lists. In the meantime, this seemed easier to bump than a dozen separate threads.

Sweet, thanks!

It's not a post, yet... but @diannethegeek I think you should create a post detailing all the different definitions of "clean eating" that have been compiled. I would sticky the heck out of that.

SLLRunner

@diannethegeek, you are so adorable and thoughtful! I've been missing the weight management common sense stickies, and you've compiled them in once place for all. Thank you!

segacs

Great list!

Bumping with hope that this doesn't get deleted like the other helpful posts.

Ha! That thread would be almost guaranteed to go up in flames, wouldn't it?


Looks like the stickies are back now. Our brief period of darkness is over!

I know, but it would be fun to watch. I would bring the marshmallows!

Thanks @diannethegeek, I think you would be called a goddess for this or at least a god send.

Thank you for shining the light, bringing us from the darkness, the bottomless, stickieless world.

Thanks! As a new member... I appreciate the wealth of information the members of MFP have. And I find the no nonsense delivery strangely motivating. Lol.

Right! I love when people respond to a cockamamie weight loss theory with..."That's a terrible idea!" "What are you thinking!" ... And then give concrete reasons to back it up.

Sometimes we need to be jarred like that

Love this! Thank you so very much

This used to be done more, but now people are afraid to post too bluntly. If the OP, or a poster with another idea, gets insulted--there's the devil to pay.

I really feel like there needs to be an MFP Wall of Fame separate from the individual forums. Instead of stickying threads in their current location, why not pull them over into central storage? I think it would increase visibility for new users.
