LOL!!! I think TOM must be visiting her right now; no other explanation to why she is being so RUDE herself!!! At least i hope thats why, otherwise there is no excuse!!!0 -
Ummm I can honestly say Steve is very into the healthy eating and working out. We go to a group workout together on Sundays . I know he spends alot of time researching different techniques for diets and workouts. He also has several clients who do pay him money, and guess what they listen to him too. You know why? Cause he sort of knows what he's talking about. Just because someone disagrees with you doesnt make them arrogant. He was very matter of fact in his thoughts. A pizza calorie is way different than a chicken calorie. If you can't see that then your not being honest with anyone. Miss Helen, if you were offended maybe you should RELAX! The person starting the thread wasn' t. She actually thanked everyone for their opinion.
And the church says AMEN!!!
Amen!!!0 -

That is what I was thinking also.............0 -
Honestly, there's only one person attacking in this thread. I've apologized and gone to lengths to explain more clearly what I meant only to be attacked over and over. Again, sometimes in type - things might come off a different way than intended. I'll attach more smiley faces to my post to show that they are friendly.
Would that be better?
I see you've lost 70 pounds and that is remarkable - really great job! If you have secrets to share, I'm sure people would be happy to hear it.
Nice try!
Yeah Steve. Your mature, adult, polite, well thought out responses are not fooling anyone here. Glad someone finally called you out on it :P0 -
Not at all! A calorie is a calorie, granted you should give your body the nutrients it needs the majority of the time, but it's perfectly fine to fit the not so fantastic stuff into your diet in moderation. In fact, that's what keeps it from being a "diet" and makes it a healthy lifestyle change. Check your settings too, make sure they are all set up correctly for what you want goal wise. You should be eating at least 1200 calories a day.
wait... what? Of course it matters! Whole food is so jam packed with nutrients compared to processed food that has been stripped of everything good! I'm not saying never have pizza again - but make the healthier choice 90%. It does matter - every unhealthy choice puts us a little bit further away from our goal.
Just for the record, I describe the "healthy choice" for me as things with one ingredient. Chicken, steak, eggs, spinach, w/e. If it comes out of a box - it's most likely not a great choice.
Also - sugar is the devil.
Isn't that basically what I said when I wrote "you should give your body the nutrients it needs the majority of the time" ? Way to call me out only to say the same exact thing. This site is for motivation, not to tear peoples advice down because you have a six-pack. What the hell dude? That really hurt my feelings. And yes, a gram is a gram, an ounce is an ounce, and a calorie is a calorie.
I just disagreed with your opinion....
This site is for more than just motivation - it's for information, for tracking calories, for education, for opinion, for fun - there's all kinds of things this site is for... I didn't "call you out", just slightly disagreed.
I'm just stating my opinion here - please don't be offended or get hurt feelings. I disagree that a calorie is a calorie, or a gram is a gram. If that were the case - I would be more than happy to live on spoonfuls of sugar (not even kidding - I've binged on exactly that before) The first thing I do for all my clients is put them on a real-food diet. I love eating low carb - but I don't ever start a client there. I start them by having them eat only things with one ingredient. Of course there are healthy things that come in boxes - but it's so easy to have a rule to follow at first while we're getting used to healthy - whole food eating.
Sorry for hurting your feelings again - I didn't intend to take a shot at you.
You've "disagreed" with 3 people on this post alone in such a rude way that it's pretty disgraceful. You need to learn to be more polite. I doubt that your even any sort of anything that would involve clients, and if you are you must have a high turn over because I certainly wouldn't pay money to have someone talk to me like that. Gross!
Hon - Perhaps you are being a little over sensitive...............With the message boards it is easy to take someone words and hear them in your mind differently than the person intended to come across.
From reading the comments, it seems you are the only one getting your feelings hurt.
When people post topics on these boards, they should be expecting to hear the Good, the bad and the ugly. If a person can't handle any and all comments that are posted.

There was no post on here by him that was mean at all. He's informative. Some people don't take that well, I guess.0 -
Im not sure why poor Steve got so attacked, I didnt see him being mean.0

Steve and I talked in private and it was a misunderstanding that I think was misread by both of us. I'm sorry if I offended anyone else and wrecked this thread.0

How mature of you!0

mine says im sposed to have 1660 cals a day...but that could be because i checked off "lightly active" or something to that effect based on my job (standing/walking 8-9 hours on a sales floor).
after reading the whole thread it seems my imput was a bit late lol....0 -
Mine are 1450...
I find that even without eating back my exercise calories I do struggle to make my minimum for the day, but it just means that I can indulge myself a little. That being said, whilst calories are extremely important, if you don't try to stick within some sort of fat/sugar/sodium limits whats the point of bothering counting calories.0 -

i disagree that a calorie is a calorie. your body needs vitamins and minerals to make it work right. im not claiming to be the messiah of dieting i eat pizza and still drink BUT majority of the time i make sure im eating foods that are giving my body everything it needs. i am in school and work so im busy i eat alot of "box" meals, but i complement them with a salad a veggie and a fruit. i dont think he was attacking, just stating the facts.0

I heard what Steve said in his posts very differently. I didn't hear any arrogance or rudeness in the replies simply chatting via the Internet trying to share knowledge. Perhaps I've seen/heard him post enough to know He speaks his mind and helps correct info on the boards that might be a bit off. Not trying to attack or anything in the slightest, I just know sometimes we can hear someone differently than they actually came across to others.i think having what you want with in your cals keeps you from cheating but if your older like me its a real good idea to watch your fat intake to
Based on what? Fat is good for you - honestly.
Dude, why are you so mean?? She is an older woman, what could YOU possibly know about THAT? Do you even realize what this website is for?? I think you need to get off this one and go start you own website called www.listentomyarrogantBS.com. It's great that you've lost weight and all, but you maybe you should work on your inside matching your outside. You obviously have confidence issues if your so hellbent on making it look like everyone is stupid but you. NEWSFLASH, it's making you look like a jerk.
OMG I just apologized. That's not mean! I won't give my opinion any more, I swear....
I am sorry that i'm arrogant and make everyone look stupid, I get on these boards to try to help. There are some people who cut their fat down so low that (in my opinion) it hurts their weight loss. Some people even base it on old or crappy science. I only intended to try to help, and quoting people just lets them know what I'm responding to. You seem like a really nice, helpful woman, and I'm sorry to have hurt you so deeply.
I'm not defending him (as I don't think He needs one) simply sharing that I heard him come across very differently than it sounds like you might have. That's the tough part about the Internet, no body language to help with communication.:blushing:
I will add I agree on the 1200 cals (it's like a pie in the sky number everyone picks), it does seem like so many folks on here stick to 1200 whether they are looking to lose 100 lbs. or 40 lbs. or 10 lbs., that simply makes no sense to me. Doesn't seem it'd be near enough fuel for many.0 -

OK, WOW, just now read this... yikes, probably good I didn't see it before! Don't know that it ruined the thread but it was quite rude.:indifferent:i think having what you want with in your cals keeps you from cheating but if your older like me its a real good idea to watch your fat intake to

Glad to see we're all living happily ever after now though...but sheesh:frown:0
