    I hate it when people want advice...and then they get it...but because it wasn't the advice they wanted to get, all of a sudden those people giving the advice are "mean spirited" and "haters" or whatever else.

    Just because we disagree with you...just because we honestly answer your question with something other than sugar coated crap (oh hunny, it's ok if you ate more than the entire cow in one sitting, cause tomorrow you can just run an extra mile and don't worry about the fact that you eat Burger King 10 times a week...) doesn't mean we are being mean to you!!!

    It means you asked a question and we answered it. If we were being mean to you, we would have not answered you at all.

    Why ask a question if you don't even want the answer?


    Absolutely 100% this. I get completely infuriated by people leaping into a personal attack on anyone who disagrees with them. That's not debating, it's just boring.

    People who snivel and make excuses.

    People whose ego has its own gravitational pull.

    Mine is the "fitness police" who troll the forums and think they know everything.... they know what worked for them, not for everyone. Yes, I find it awesome to hear their stories, but no I don't need to read a post with 50 people jumping on one person who asks about a cleanse or something that isn't the "fitness police" preferred method of losing weight!

    Edited for typos - I'm horrible at that! haha

    One of the gals on my newsfeed posts things like "walked for 3 minutes..........6 calories".

    really? REALLY????

    I called her out on it, but she still does it.

    If it annoys you or upsets, just remove her. Simple.

    When I send PMs to guys and they're all like "I can't do this - you're married - this is wrong" Shaddup and send me some T&A shots.

    ^^This! This happens to me all the time and it is maddening.

    I'm with you on the loose / lose thing - been annoying me for years!

    Also, people posting replies saying they can't answer... Why post anything at all?!

    I can violate whatever I want to.

    It's MY thread....................................


    wanna arm wrestle?

    :heart: this.

    Response to the OP...

    I am kind of a spelling freak - but I don't usually post about it.

    The long quotes - yah - they are a little bothersome... that scroll finger gets tired after a while.

    Being deleted from a friend list for no apparent reason used to bother me - but now I could give a @#$%. (***Waving at the people that used to have me on their list. :flowerforyou: )

    " I haven't eaten anything in a year and I can't lose weight"! Yea right, haven't eaten anything good for you.

    Tell me what to eat but I don't like meat, fish, fruit or veggies. I only eat Pizza and Chicken fingers.

    Or The GREAT CARB DEBATE!, everytime someone asks a question.

    Or the post that is so long you can't finish it.

    Now, remember... they are posing questions to the public forum. Why would anyone not expect to receive some different opinions?

    Many members are kind enough to provide reputable and accurate information -- not anecdotal personal information -- to answer other member's questions. You may be assuming that they are providing info for something that worked for them, but many times, it's reputable, helpful info -- not anecdotal.

    You may call them "fitness police". I call them "mythbusters" that are out there, trying to help others with accurate information.

    Another is the people whose profile shot is pornographic. Like the guys with the 6-pack abs whose slacks barely cover their privates. I realize that I may be in the minority on this one....LOL

    Or the gals who have to show off a bunch of cleavage......yeah, we know you got boobs, big whoop!

    I keep trying to think up a pithy response to this, but a picture paints a thousand words.

    sthop getting pithy with me

    It has recently come to my attention that I need to:

    Post more about my daily life
    Post less about my daily life
    Be less critical about my friends' eating and exercise
    Be more critical about my friends' eating and exercise
    Not be afraid to ask questions before doing something stupid
    Not ask any questions on the forum because I will look stupid
    Drink more water
    Eat my exercise calories
    Don't eat my exercise calories
    Eat my exercise calories or I will go into starvation mode and die
    The first rule of starvation mode is NEVER TALK ABOUT STARVATION MODE

    Trying to plan a nice pasta dish for this weekend with a picky bf. Preferably something we can drink with a glass of wine and have fun making together. It doesn't have to be super low-calorie but nothing over the top fattening either. We don't wanna do plain spaghetti. He's a bit picky: no pork, no 'weird' veggies and no alfredo sauce. I could eat anything :)

    Any ideas? I've looked lots of places but can't seem to find anything that catches my eye.

    :grumble: This was just posted !
    :noway: Give me a recipe but here are all the restrictions.

    -Hi! I'm eating 200 calories a day and taking unnamed Mexican weightloss pills I get in a brown paper baggie, what do you think?

    -That sounds very dangerous.

    -PEOPLE HERE NEED TO LEARN TO BE MORE SUPPORTIVE! IF YOU DON'T HAVE SOMETHING NICE TO SAY DON'T SAY ANYTHING!!

    yep. basically this.


    Agree:noway:

    Disclaimer: Please don't give me the power to offend you.

    - People that post "How come I'm not losing weight," And then confess to eating fewer than 1,200 calories a day making the claim that they're not hungry. I never really believe them....they got fat eating more than 1,200 calories a day and now that they want to lose it, they aren't hungry?!? I don't buy it.

    - When people say that muscle weighs more than fat. Yes, muscle is more dense, but a pound of fat = a pound of muscle. One just has more volume, but it's still a distinction that grates on me.

    - Seeing "Women Only" or "Men Only" in topic titles. It's like putting a 'wet paint' sign on the park bench. You just know somebody is going to come up and check whether the paint is dry or not. Same deal: reverse psychology works, and you should just know that the moment you put one or the other in the title, the opposite sex is going to come walking in.

    - When people only post 'wtg' or 'good job' or something light on my recent loss or workout. This is kind of a two edged sword though, because while I appreciate the support, I find myself wanting something more substantial than a 'wtg.'

    I've got more, but that's enough for now.

    No messages or public profile on friend requests. GRR. That's like someone covering your eyes and saying "Wanna be friends?" Uhhhh....?
