what bugs me the most those is when people "claim" to weigh everything..."I swear I do with 100% accuracy" and you go to their diary and what is weighed is in ounces and most things are logged in cups or each etc...
You would hate my diary. The other day weighted out my C&W Peas. The bag said 2/3 cup (91 g) and I weighted out every one of those 91 grams--I just didn't edit the entry--ain't nobody got time for that (unless that is all you are planning on doing that day...)--so when I put 2/3 cup down as my entry I meant the 91 g.
My Wildtree Butter Grapeseed Oil that I put on my baked potato today was really 9 grams (I weighted it) but I put down .67 Tablespoon instead of editing because, again, ain't nobody got time for that.
Now, what I HATE on MFP is when people judge someone else's diary without finding out if someone used the entries that were already in the database but accurate in the grams/ounces or if they were just using them measuring cups/spoons.
This is why my diary will forever be closed except for my friends, they at least would ask me before calling me a liar...0 -
I get sick of the incessant links to that Sexypants thread. I also hate the word 'sexypants'. Sounds stupid.

I thought that I was the only one.
I really don't get too bothered by people, though. I'm often told I'm too chill. Really, I'm just so socially awkward and nervous that I worry more about what I'm doing than what other people are doing. :blushing:
Also, I prefer to waste my energy hating other things. Like spiders. And beetles.0 -
"STARVATION MODE"
Also I swore off just one food and thats candy corn XD only because i cannot control myself around it. I don't brag about it though :P0 -
"Then how'd you get fat?"
Explanation: It's really not that hard to understand and be understanding about the fact that some food is more filling, that people often change what they eat dramatically when first starting, and that people trying to lose weight and new to it would find it strange to eat when they were not actually hungry. Not full, not stuffed, not couldn't eat a bite, but pretty satisfied. I think it's worth helping people understand they can broaden what they eat, I think it's a problem that solves itself soon enough in most cases, but I don't see why it requires rude and insulting-sounding comments.
It's even worse when the person is actually claiming not to be able to eat more, is about 18 or so, and doesn't seem to be overweight from the photo, although personal details are missing. Chances are she's not fat, and may well be thinner than the BMI scale would recommend.0 -
Yep - pretty dammed irritating!0

Right now what drives me to roll my eyes on here are platitudes. "You/We CAN do this!" "Believe in yourself!" "We gotta step up our game/Step it up!" and other trite pseudo-inspirational sentences that are repeated ad nauseam.0

Nothing really I'm new. But some say I put the weight back on and makes me go huh? Why? I thought the goal was to lose? But then again there are different circumstances and habits too to take in consideration0

I have time to edit entries it takes 20 secs and for accuracy sake I will continue. And I don't call people liars I say "it appears by your entries you don't weigh your food"Honest question, why is this a problem that bugs you? If someone logs 1.25 ounces of something, for example, how is that different from logging 35 grams? They are equivalent.
Also, some people will weigh out the serving size on packaged foods but log it in cups because that's how it is listed in the database - if the package says something like "serving size: 1 cup (68g)" and someone weighs out 68 grams, why is it a problem to log it as cups? The nutritional info will be exactly the same based on the label.
If they log ounces it means they are not being accurate. Typically ounces are "guesses" based on what I have seen.
as for the cup entries imho if you are really in this...the weight loss thing you take the time to ensure your diary is accurate to make sure trends can be seen. Edited an entry for the serving size takes 5 secs and if that is just too much time...well are you gonna take the couple mins to log that cake you had last night right before bed????
Logging accurately means choosing correct entries and if you take the time to find the MFP entered item from the USDA database you know it's accuate and not entered by someone else. It's a pet peeve of mine could be the analytical aspect of my job poking through but I suspect it's more about my own personality...hence my analystical job...I prefer precise entries. I am not saying that it's wrong it just bugs me in this instance because chances are the rest of the entries have issues as well and they are asking about why they are in a plateau or can't lose weight.
Again just bugs me if people choose to log that way whatever but if you are asking for help expect people to call it out.0 -
"Just sayin'"
No *kitten*. You're just saying something. Wow. Because that is not totally obvious to anyone who can read. What a revelation! No, adding just sayin" to the end of your post doesn't make you look all cool and nonchalant and *kitten*. It makes you look like a gibbering twonk.
Oh, and all the hilarious quips about clean eating like "I shower with my food" or "I wash it with Dettol!". Hur hur hur. I have never heard that one before. Those lines are just so fresh. Like that joke hasn't been made like a billion times before. It was funny in 1991. Now it is just plain sad ya muppets.

Again it causes an increase in appetite...which leads to weight gain.Weight gain
Steroids affect your metabolism and how your body deposits fat. This can increase your appetite, leading to weight gain, and in particular lead to extra deposits of fat in your abdomen.
Self-care tips:
Watch your calories and exercise regularly to try to prevent excessive weight gain. But don't let weight gain damage your self-esteem. Know that the weight will come off - and your stomach return to its normal size - relatively easily in the six months to a year after you discontinue steroids.

Even though it does increase appetite, it also increases the rate at which fat is stored in the body (from the cortisol) and changes where it is stored.
Beyond that, most patients are not given the information that it increases appetite, only that weight gain on them is normal. So, if you're not already counting calories, it's an easy thing to miss.
Also, increased appetite isn't something to dismiss as a side effect. People who are trying to lose weight are most likely already struggling with hunger. If you increase that exponentially, it's highly problematic.0 -
