By the way, just so you know -- you can write underneath what you're quoting instead of just reposting the quote.
Just start typing after the last [ /quote]
This! I was trying to figure out why she kept quoting but not saying anything. I am guessing she would quote it, and then start a new reply to say what she wanted to in response to that quote.0 -
fed up of repeating myself as no-one reads it anyway but I DO EXERCISE JUST WANTED TO KNOW THE IMPORTANCE OF EATING THOSE CALS BACK
It is pretty normal, in a long internet thread, for people to reply repeatedly to only the original post; they do not read the entire conversation. Trying to change this behaviour (which is widespread on forums, not just on MFP) really WOULD be beating your head against a wall.
If you really want people to stop talking to you/responding to your OP, quit responding to them. In a few days it will be buried far down the list, so it won't catch people's eyes. As it is, every time you respond you bring the post back to the top of the list, so more people see it and respond again.
This. I had more to say, but what a waste of time post this is. Wow.0 -
This is the MOST obnoxious thread post I have ever seen.
Agreed!0 -
ok once more for those who think I dont exercise........ read my posts I do
Those who want to call me names because they think I dont exercise then carry on as I exercise every day
To those who rather than answer my point want to pull me apart for my spelling punctuation etc , IM TYPING WITH ONE HAND AND WHEN i try to type faster I miss things out however I am highly educated and until illness took its toll held a responsible job
To those who want to post stupid childish images grow up
To those who obviously enjoy all this get a life
BUT to those who have answered me with respect I thank you and will take things on board to those who are just wanting to have a go your points are worthless because of the way you put them over
Finally how the heck do delete the whole topic because im fed up of the bullying
Nobody's bullying you. You approached the topic in your OP with a poor attitude and people are responding to that.0 -

I actually have seen it with my own yes, I eat the calories back and for some reason, I lose more weight faster. I also just upped my calories by 200 and jump started my weight loss again.
I read on your profile where you would like to be able to walk with out being winded. I think weight should be the least of your worries, how about exercising so you can play with all 8 of those grandchildren? Or would you still rather just sit on on your bum?
Geesh, and they say Americans are fat and lazy.............0 -
The reason some people are being a little less than nice is;
1. Whether you meant to or not, your OP had a lot of attitude in it. If we could picture you saying it you'd have your hand on your hip and rolling your eyes.
2. You don't want to listen to any helpful information we are trying to give you. You've decided that eating E calories back is stupid and that's that.
3. You're helping to spread bad information. When I first started here, I also asked (asked, not made a post just to let all of MFP know what I was going to do) if we should eat back the calories we burn. Many people gave me excellent explanations as to why we should eat them back which I was grateful for. It then made sense to me, I just had to clarify to make sure I was doing it right. However if I were a newbie today asking this question, I would be so confused because every other person argues to the death that you shouldn't eat them back. What you choose to do is your life and no there is no law that says you have to do it.....but people who come here that genuinly want to follow the program the correct way, the way the program was designed need to get the correct information. Eating E calories back will NOT make you gain weight, it will NOT make you maintaine weight. If you want to following the program the way it was meant to be followed, you SHOULD eat your E calories back.0 -

pounds is a very loose term and can mean lots of things. is your weight fat, muscle, water? calories is not the only stat out there and neither is pounds. that's misleading.0

OK so you exercise so what's your point?? Simple fact if you have set your calorie target to lose weight and exercise there is no harm in eating back some or even all calories excercised because basically you still eat below maintenance calories and therefore should lose weight. If you don't eat all exercise calories back you will still lose weight. You have to find what's best for you and also change tack occasionally, the body needs the odd shock to make sure it doesn't get used to a routine. You have lost 9 pounds in two weeks so you must be doing something right!!!!0 -
Exercise starts the fire.
Eating those calories back fuels the fire. It burns brighter.
Bonus: FOOD!

^ THIS is why people think you don't exercise. You later stated that you do, but this stongly implies to intend to stop as you "might as well sit on your bum".what is the point to exercise if you have to eat the cals burnt back?, may as well sit on my bum, do nothing and enjoy the cals
Do you intend to exercise or not?

Best response of the night but there again some people don't want help
Well thankfully I dont pre judge people
INTELLIGENT TO REALISE THAT THINGS CAN APPEAR DIFFERENT WHEN WRITTEN DOWN
I also dont jump to conclusions about people I dont know AND if you knew me would know im well liked, kind and caring
As for bad info ive asked a question, never blindly go into anything, and again if you read my posta you would see ive said different things work for different peeps what works for me may not work for you and vice versa.
You also assume that every one wants to follow the plan to the T, I know many on here who just use it for guidance, check their cals etc, thankfully the friends I have on my own profile are very supportive0 -

This is an observation from being a forum-geek for over a dozen years.
You get what you give. You're continuing to focus on the negative posts and bumping this back up, while giving no indication that you read or understood any of the posts from those, like myself, who tried to explain the reason calories are added when you exercise and the importance of eating them. You might give a little "thanks to those who haven't been mean old bullies," but that's STILL giving more focus to the negative.
How about throwing a little bone to those of us who've tried to help? Some indication that what we said either made sense to you or didn't make sense to you?
Because, personally, I'm so amazed at the success I've had following the guidelines set by this site, and I want to see others have the same sort of success.0 -
enough said....0 -
I just walked 3 miles fast and I'm not going to eat the extra calories. Ate a Quizno.....bad girl.....but the walk did help. So I can sit on the sofa and watch tv!!0

Can't help but agree, sorry, but I've read most of this post and have found some really helpful positive information, so I thank everyone who took the time to explain :flowerforyou:0 -

After 11 pages of advice, what is your conclusion?
yes I intend to continue with my exercise plan
no I dont intend to eat back all my cals but will eat extra should I feel hungry enough to and certainly if a party or other special occasion would not feel guilty or deprive myself one bit
I will however take on board those polite and reasonable comments but totally dis regard anyone who has bullied me on here as if they can bully then their comments account for nothing.
if you read I have infact thanked those who have been sticking to the advice rather than add sarky comments and childish pictures
At the end of the day what works for some may not work for others0 -
i stopped reading after "what is the point"
nothing good can come of a post that starts with that kind of negativity0 -
