    I did once get told that I wouldn't be able to lose weight until after I had babies (the woman in question was constantly at me for not wanting kids) because "your body wants to have babies, so it's hanging onto the stores to grow and feed them".

    This was a new one to me and possibly my favorite. :D

    The one I love is diet soda will make you fat.

    And I have to read all the weightless and diet articles on msn because they are so funny, "find out why diet soda makes you keep belly fat".

    This was said to me at a dance class by a stranger, "you have such a pretty face, you shouldn't eat after 6:00."

    I've been trying to figure out how eating after six can make someone ugly... I got nuthin'!

    I always laugh when I hear that "a pound of muscle weighs more than a pound of fat".

    Never heard that one before.

    Maybe I missed this one, but how about the whole starvation mode thing? Or that the body holds onto fat. Or manufactures it at a low calorie number. (How does the body manufacture fat from nothing?)

    I understsand doing everything right and when the scale doesn't move for several wks one starts wondering what is going on (that is, what is wrong). But there are a lot of replies to posts lately saying you have to eat more to lose weight after a 2 wk stall.

    Ummm, no.

    MFP posts seeking advice on the struggles of trying to eat 1200 or 1000 calories. "I feel so full I'm stuffed how can i get my daily calories in?" Just who do they think they're talking to?

    Those are hilarious. If they were stuffed after eating 1200 calories a day they wouldn't be overweight and wouldn't have ever heard of this site. :)

    I think about that ALLL THE TIME! If you have trouble eating that little, you wouldn't be overweight. Those are people who don't open up their diary and/or don't log anything correctly.

    My endocrinologist told me (at 245lbs) that my body would just not let me lose weight, she said sometimes our bodies decide what's best for us, and that as far as she could tell I was as healthy as a horse, and that I should just maintain my weight because my body decided it is comfortable where it is and that I would always be around that weight. She said even if I lost weight that my body would try to regain it until it was at what it considered the proper weight (around 245)

    Wow! Just WOW!!!
