MFP life cycle
Replies

don't forget when you...
- create bingo board of all the buzz topics, and you start to post "BINGO" on every one.
- get told to get off MFP because you're too fit now, and this site is only for people trying to "loose" weight
- get sucked in and respond to the - do you think this person is hot thread, and then gets called for being on there again
but the best is when:
you develop the best friendships EVER :smooched: and have friends that will stick with you even when you're bishing about your ex or craving chocolate! :blushing:
*sorry bout that guys - I think I really need to move to Ohio*0 -

Yes, but you forgot about the part toward the end:
...gets wrapped up in the MFP social life & accompanying drama. Ignores fitness topics, sticks only to Chit-Chat threads
... MFP drama becomes a bit much, even interfering with real life
... leaves MFP, without much warning
... returns under new name
... REPEAT as necessary

I have been here almost 2 years and I pretty much seen it all. This is how I see the life cycle of MFP (this tread is not about you personally….those are generalities. No hate mail please)
Newbie!!! This is sooo exciting, they are ready to do whatever it take to lose the weight once and for all.
-They cut calories as far as they can.
-Plan to lose 10 pounds in 4 weeks
-Go to the gym 2 hours a day and do cardio to burn calories,
-Do not eat their earned calories back (because what is the point then and think that all of us to tell them to eat, please just eat are out of their minds)
-Panic because a have a meal with family at a restaurant and oh my god how will they fit the calories in (hint…..exercising for hours)
-Post a tread about how nasty the old timers are.
-Burn out
Option A
-Quit
Option B
-Learn as much as possible about TDEE, BMR, The science of nutrition, Heavy strength training, learn about body fat%. Up their calories, care less about the scale; get healthy.
-turn around and try to help the newbie
-Get tired of fighting with the newbie and start answering in a way the newbies find rude.
-Get tired of being called rude but are in the best shape of their life, enjoy life, eat a lot and stop the hamster wheel of weight loss.
Wow, have you been spying on me? Oh, a couple of things you forgot:
-Raspberry Ketones
-Paleo
-Isagenix
-Low Carb
-Intermittent Fasting
-Sugar is Evil
-Carb Loading
-NSV0 -

What happens on Halloween? Does everyone binge on their children's Halloween candy? I guess I'll find out on Oct. 31st.0 -
Well, first you need to starve yourself for the next 50 days so you can be a sexy Hermione Granger or a sexy Ninja Turtle or a sexy Freddy Kruger.
THEN you get to panic over the thought of candy.0 -

Option D. Get banned for lewd and lacivious conduct, including, but not limited to showing too much of the male genital organ or the female ta tas.0

Hehehe, thanks for the giggle.
I read this earlier this morning just after I'd decided not to comment on the latest "I DON'T and I WON'T eat my exercise cals" thread. Really, I don't care what anyone else does, they'll either quit or work it out for themselves sooner or later.0 -
I guess I'm lucky that I did all the reading up and getting educated about dieting and fitness BEFORE I started. I never was a 'newbie'. lol0

Option E. Get caught up in the flirting and overwhelming attention and do things that your spouse doesn't approve of. Get caught and deactivate.0
