    In...

    ...to try to find out if I'm the only person on MFP who created an account to log food and exercise...

    ...and to figure out reasonable expectations for our adult children.

    It's ****ty because it seems to me that when writing posts on here you have to throw out some disclaimers like "I'm not looking for attention" or "this thread isn't me fishing for compliments" I mean, the fact that we have to do that is just sad. Why can't we just say what we feel without ignorant, rude, and mean people replying to it. I'm almost twenty years old and when I have a crappy day I'll shoot my mom a phone call and vent to her....maybe that young lady doesn't have someone to confide in and were all she has...what a great support system MFP, claps to you.

    Totally agree with the bolded part above...

    ...but almost certainly not in the way you meant it.

    Also, didn't we just do, "Why is everyone so mean here yesterday?" Shouldn't today be, "If I lift will I get bulky?"

    Where did I put my schedule?

    M- Lifting = Bulky
    T - When is water water
    W - Clean vs. Dirty
    Th - Why is everyone so mean
    Fri - Boobs


    You forgot Wednesday is ... Is standing up and sitting down trackable as exercise.

    What day is "what exercise will spot reduce my belly", oh wait...that's everyday...4 thread minimum.

    You forgot thigh gaps too! These schedules have a multiple thread/day rotation.

    I'm just kinda thinking that we can make fun of it and put it on the 'rotation' but I'd really like to see people become more conscious of the way they post and how their tone might be taken instead of blurting. When I think back of stuff I've slapped out there I cringe... so all I'm saying is, I'm trying for the good of civility..

    It goes in mesocycles, there's A and B weeks, possibly a C week every alternate cycle.

    I like how that one is usually phrased...

    "I know that spot-reducing doesn't work...

    ...but what exercises can I do to firm up/tone/shrink my tummy?

    ETA: Why is everyone talking about my diet and telling me to do squats??? Besides, I asked about reducing my tummy, not my legs!"

    For UV via McB -

    I'm glad McB could post that for her. That post is an epic example of the type of contribution Yoovie makes to MFP.

    I agree with Olly.

    We're all adults here, taking criticism is something we ALL have to deal with in life at some point.

    If I needed someone to rationalize things for me everytime something negative happened to me, I would probably live within the walls of a mental health facility.
