Confessions of a Former Derp

_JPunky

What's the stupidest thing you ever asked on MFP? (because, yes...there ARE stupid questions...lol)

I think mine would have to be a tie between:

1) I don't understand how I'm supposed to eat more than 1,200 calories! I'm so fulllllll!!!!
AND
2) Why is my hair falling out and my nails cracking???? (Refer to number one to understand HOW dumb of a question that was.)

Nothing. I lurked for months and months and got answers I was looking for.

I save the stupid questions for Google so no one knows how dumb I really am.

Please refrain from capitalizing Derp unless you are referring to me. It makes searching for compliments in the forums far more laborious than it needs to be.


*Carry on*

Now I feel like I should search the forums to see if people compliment me....

You're the only reason I came in here. In for the gossip.

I just assume I receive compliments in threads regularly, cuts down on time spent having to search for evidence of my awesomeness.

Also, The Queen never asks stupid questions, and I forbid everyone from checking my post history to verify.

I onced asked how the heck am I supposed to shave my back. . (I'm still vague on how to do this). .

Oh, so we're NOT gossiping about Derp here? *backs out quietly*

I didn't ask a question, I just posted once how building muscle in a deficit was possible because hey, they do it on The Biggest Loser! <headdesk>

BinaryPulsar

The only question I asked was: mfp set me at 1200 a couple days ago. That is too little. Is it because I am small. I need to eat more, but don't know anything about what amount of calories are right for me. If I ate 1200, I would need to stay in bed all day.

I learned better ways to calculate my calories, eat at maintenance (I didn't need to lose weight), lift heavy weights. And through my own experience I learned I need to eat more than the calculations tell me (perhaps I underestimate my activity level...that is what my husband tells me).

Thanks mfp folks! Thanks Sarauk2sf!

This is me to the fullest

I started a thread when Jenny McCarthy joined The View.

That was a bad choice.

I thought this was a thread about you. :frown:

Anyway. My dumb was, I guess the typical dumb. "Help, my family is sabotaging me!" and "I'm eating 1200 calories a day. Why am I so irritable!?"

Trechechus

edit: double post.
Carry on.

oregonzoo

I mostly lurked.

I do believe I started a "why am I starving to death thread"


Of course that was the same day I texted my fiance and said "yay! I ended the day with 1000 calories left"

QuietBloom

I asked a stupid question once and was properly ridiculed. But I didn't get an answer, and I admit I'm still curious about what I asked. So I guess I AM just stupid, but at least smart enough not to ask it again. :laugh:

BinaryPulsar

I have also started threads about finding clothing and shoes in my size and about hair styles. This seemed to be a good venue for that type of question. And it was helpful.

Like a fool, I stepped into the diet soda arena.

Still don't have much clarity on the subject, now I just know that soda in general for me is a no go.

Ahh. I remember that thread. Dark days.

I asked how to stop emotional/binge eating. I cringe at the memory.

This is not the proper forum for gossiping about me. That would be Motivation and Support, two forums up, or Success Stories, five forums up.

I asked how to get a guy to leave my house after cuddling/banging.

FYI. He's a doctor, since that's relevant.

What's a stupid question? :happy:

But what was his body fat percentage?

And now I'm terribly curious as to what the question was!

I can't remember asking anything really awful. I lurked for a long, long time as well to learn.
