All,
Do you have a favorite or least favorite perennial post? You know, those posts that seem to pop up every week or month, or sometimes even every day? Keep in mind that some are positive and some are negative, so I'm not trying to say all of these suck. For purposes of this post I'm not including any of the "poster above you" posts.

Examples:

-Help! I can't eat 1200 calories!!
-It's LOSE NOT LOOSE you looser!
-What can I do with an avocado?
-Periods and weight gain. How does it work?
-Should I have a cheat day?
-I'm under 18, so I know everything, but can you please give me some advice that I will not follow? Also, please don't report me.
-Hello, I am part of a multi-level marketing scheme, but that is totally not the reason I am making this post. honest.
-Cauliflower, the miraculous mutating food.
-What's your (least) favorite perennial post? :blushing:

I know there are at least a dozen more. What did I leave off?

    is it that time of the month for another time of the month thread?

    because i honestly cannot wait. the anticipation of which new nuanced question about what is/isn't allowed/possible during that time of the month, is killing me.

    ♪♫ anticipation... anticipation... is making me wait ♫♪

    I hate all those pesky success ones about "Oh I lost 2000 pounds and look at me!"

    How are we supposed to make them feel bad about themselves after losing all that weight?
    It really makes things more difficult.

    Least Favorite: Most of the recipe posts (not just cauliflower) drive me nutsbonkers with their exaggerations, low-fat and non-fat this or that, and "oh look, I invented the wheel" mentality. Anyone can shove low fat cheese and sour cream into anything and call it low cal or fat whatnot, that doesn't mean it's a recipe or that it's going to taste good. Putting cauliflower in everything is just desperate. Eat normal foods. Count them. That's all.

    May I count calorie burn for sex?
    May I count calorie burn for housework?
    :explode: :noway:

    Why do people choose to do things differently than I do, and then I post asking why and I don't actually want to discuss because I know I'm right and I"m not posting to be helpful to other people...
    :laugh: :embarassed:

    Nah - it's all good. Some recurring posts are irritating, but then I make myself not read them.

    ETA: Where are the FREE BANANAS! ?

    The kindest thing you can do - if you wish to respond - is refer the new person to the SEARCH feature in the COMMUNITY postings. Not all of us are aware of this feature when we first begin our journey with this site and have benefited from those vets of this site who are courteous enough to share that information. If you do this, those people can review that topic for themselves - rather than get rude responses from those who have been around this site a while and are tired of these topics.

    Favorite: I LOVE success threads with pic's. My absolute favorite thing about MFP.

    i like the bang/hang/rate/date/hump/dump/hug/mug threads.

    i find the answers to be both deep and thought-provoking.

    truly, this is what Al Gore had in mind when he single-handedly invented the innertubes.
  • Err'body is mean.


    :mad: I'm already offended you brought this up. This whole thread is mean. I don't actually want any advice contrary to what I learned from Weight Watchers or Dr. Oz and if you diss either one of them, you are mean.

    "I know this has been done, but..."

    -Cheat days
    -Protein
    -Should I eat exercise calories back?
    -Should I log calories I burned sneezing?
    -Do you count coffee as water?

    There's a lot.
