My journey since joining MFP, like most, has been very educational, a lot of fun and luckily pretty successful. Along the ride so far though, I've found myself uttering phrases (either verbally or on message boards) that I never would have thought I'd hear coming out of my mouth. Below is my list, what are those one liners that MFP has introduced to your vocabulary that you'd never have believed you'd say?

"I need to tweak my macro-nutrient ratio" (I get a lot of double-takes from non-MFP'ers with this one)
"I want to add more vegetables to my diet"
"That *insert food/drink name here* is just too sweet"
"I'm losing weight too quickly, I need to eat more"
"If you ate a packet of Crystal Light...."
"No thanks, I don't need a second serving of....."
"No cheese on that burger please"

So there's some of mine, what are yours?

    "It's not that I don't love ______ but they don't love me and I'm losing weight." Fill in the blank with kit kats, Sonic, junk food of your choice.

    "How many calories are in that? What's the serving size?"

    "I gotta remember to log this when I get online."
    "I hope my measurement was right on [ingredient]."
    "Do you know how many calories/grams of sodium/sugar is in that?!"

    "How much sodium is in that?"
    "No thanks." (to cheese, one of my favorite foods)
    "I need to walk another mile."
    "Too salty." (Now it burns my mouth)
    "That didn't even taste good."
    "Not worth the fat calories."

    1. In response to my family's daily question about what's for dinner - "Well, I have xxx calories left for the day, so....."
    2. Holy cow!! Look how much sodium this has in it!
    3. How is that [name of food] prepared, please?

    Probably more, but that's all I'm thinking of at the moment.
