Things I never thought I'd ever say before joining MFP

alyssamiller77

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?

"If I get a burger, I am not eating the top bun"

"Look how many carbs that has"

Maggieq87

I say mine 800 times a day.
"What's the calorie count?"

MaryAnn678

What's the calorie count on that?
Do you realize the calorie count on that isXXX! No thanks.

Is it worth the calories?

I don't really need to eat (insert snack here).

JediMaster_intraining

"are you kidding? i'm not eating that! look at the amount of calories!"

"i'll have a salad with LOW FAT dressing and no cheese or croutons"

"this soup has too much sodium"

"i need to work out today"

"i am pretty hot"

cbirdso

I like how I look without clothes on!!

"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?"

brandimacleod

ummmm "Thanks but no thanks. It looks good though...."

Canadien

"Ew, french fries and burgers and [insert greasy or fast foods here] are disgusting why would I even eat that"

Maryfullofgrace

No thanks, I'm driving... (in reference to turning down an alcoholic beverage)

mrmarius

how about "no i'm not really that kinky" lmbo (check some of the groups out)

seriously:

"i'm cutting my carbs"
"i gotta pay attention to my calories"
"i'm not eating bread"

estepteau

"I'm gonna train for a marathon"
"that has waaaaaaayyyyy too much sugar/sodium"
"I'm tired, so I betta go workout"

Diary_Queen

"No, I don't put cheese on my salad" (with a quizical look)

"Can I get that tea unsweetened?"

"Only {insert number} hours until I get to workout!"

"I love to sweat"

"My pants keep falling off..... yes, i know that's a good problem"

"What vegetables do you want with supper?"

Let me see how many calories I have left.

(I spend calories like they are money!!)

AI1108

"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?!"
+ general questions/comments to waiters/waitresses like ... "what lighter versions do you have?" "no dressing please" "do you do half portions?" "no bread with my salad / omelet" "i don't think i'll be doing dessert today but what teas do you have?" etc...

kantone999

"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."

:>)

"Do you have a nutritional info menu?"
"I can't wait to get home and pump iron"

LorinaLynn

"No, I can't have a third mojito... I have a race tomorrow morning." :laugh:

Dawn_is_getting_healthy

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.

twinmommy3

Taking my family to KFC before hockey; "There is absolutly NOTHING on this menu I can eat"!

Dawn_is_getting_healthy

"are you kidding? i'm not eating that! look at the amount of calories!"

"i'll have a salad with LOW FAT dressing and no cheese or croutons"

"this soup has too much sodium"

"i need to work out today"

"i am pretty hot"

...and, "salad dressing on the side"

alyssamiller77

"i am pretty hot"

Mega props on this one, hopefully we all can (or soon will be able to) say this one when we look in a mirror!!

stephabef

"My feet hurt from kicking so much *kitten*"

Might've stolen that one from Nike...

Aside from that, "no, you can have that shot." I used to NEVER turn down shots... or drinks in general. Now, I have one or two drinks when I go out, and that's all I need!

ktfitzgerald

"Only xxx calories and it has XX grams of protein! Double win!"

CaptainGordo

"It's pregnant lady pee, dude."

angisnee

"Do you know how long I have to run to work off that (cookie, piece of cake, doughnut, etc)!?!?"
"I prefer my coffee black."
"Darn, it's raining; I can't go running this morning." Okay, I said that one before MFP, but it was sarcastic.
"Thank you! Yes, I have lost about 50 pounds!"

alyssamiller77

"It's pregnant lady pee, dude."

ROTFLMAO!!! YES!!!

CaptainGordo

"It's pregnant lady pee, dude."

ROTFLMAO!!! YES!!!
