Why are you here if your not logging food ??

So based on your vast analysis of the website, you've determined there are only 2 functions:1)Log calories and 2)Post picture. I'd like to inform you that there are many other functions and uses. Also, just because you don't see a full log, doesn't mean that a person doesn't log. I logged daily for 6 months and after establishing good habits I've tried to do without it. It's kind of a pain in the *kitten* to log everything. If I find it's counter-productive, I'll start logging again. There are many people who log for a while and try without it or just log some days of the week.
This site offers a lot of support. Sometimes good advice, depending on who you take it from. It lets you look calories up on food if you're curious. Just because I want to know how many calories are in the food I just ate, doesn't mean I have to record them. Etc.0 -
The reason I'm not logging is that it was causing me to be obsessive...to the point where it was consuming my life and I felt like it was starting to bring back an old border-line eating disorder. Go back a month or 2 (or 3) in my diary and you'll see that I was eating extremely clean, very high protein, etc. I've lost "friends" on here because I've stopped logging my food. But I don't care about that. It's more important to ME that I don't bring back old bad habits. I'll eventually start logging again, but I don't know when that will be. My true friends here will stick with me through it.
Same here: I stopped logging because it was getting absurd to the point that I was basically obsessing over every little thing and I HAD TO LOG IT ALL. Including working out. So I stopped for a couple of months. Does this affect anyone else? No. Should it? Um... it's up to them. I don't give a damn, to be honest.
I use MFP for support - it has helped take me from being obese to being healthy; and from making poor choices in food to good choices. It's inspiring to see people succeed; it is for people who want to succeed but don't know how and need that help. Maybe some people just really don't want to log their food - is that your business? Are they your best friend or a close friend? No. So don't obsess over what someone else eats. If you must obsess, do it to yourself. If you REALLY WANT TO KNOW what someone else is eating, why don't you simply ASK?0 -
Ladies - I think he meant this post to be for men only. I'm feeling a Slightly negative vibe about women in general, especially about women being on here "just to talk".0
-
I'm sorry. Were we really supposed to take this seriously? My bad.are you just here so you can take shirtless pics and not feel like a tool like you would if you had them on facebook? whats the deal!0 -
Does it make you angry if their diary is private and they didn't put all of their food information out there for others to see?0
-
I see so many people on here that log on everyday, comment and talk about eating right, yet I check there diary's and they never log there food, but have it all set up like they planned on logging food.... Was trying to see some healthy diarys for some of these guys trying to gain correctly but to many empty diarys.... are you just here so you can take shirtless pics and not feel like a tool like you would if you had them on facebook? whats the deal!
I think the real question is.... why does anyone get a tattoo on their back? It's not like they can even see it without a mirror.0 -
but instead got all the women who just like to talk ;-)Id log it as sick to my stomach
Why don't we talk about what's really bothering you? Clearly you're angry and looking to lash out. It happens.
Pull up a seat. Everyone needs a little couch time now and then.

Is there a douche marathon??? :noway:
from what I've seen I'm falling way behind and need to step up my game :grumble:0 -
How dare you try to learn more about humanity! This ain't no school! If we don't already know info, we must not need it! And anyone seeking to understand why people do the things they do should be made fun of with all the rage and ignorant stabbings possible.
Come on, guys. He's not saying he thinks they should do it any differently, he just asked why. Goodness. "Because I don't feel I need to" is an appropriate answer, why does it have to be more? If this is what you people call support.....0 -
well my food and what I log really should not affect you and your progress. So really, what's it to you?? Cause honestly opinions are like arseholes everyone has one, but we do not necessarily need to hear from it.0

If you don't log the days you eat like crap you don't gain weight cause it ain't in your log. Duh!0

Well I'm sorry things aren't going the way you'd hoped. Next time be less aggressive. If you have a question just ask. If you want to fight... well there's Debatable Debating in groups.

I'm sorry, I neither fit into the demographic you're looking for, nor do I normally chat around here... but I saw this and was also curious why someone would be here and not log what they're doing. I saw the high school banter and had to chime in.
"Make fun of all the smart people with creative thought process and philosophic questioning!!! They should be ignorant like us!" Is this really how people want to live?0 -

Have a nice life. That was exhausting to read.0 -
:yawn: Two reasons
-I've done this long enough and eat the same foods enough that I know what I'm doing. If I log it or not I know where I'm at.
-Because I don't care what you think
and he's got a hotter back.

It doesn't take a lot of thinking to be here. You'll see.0 -
Ok, I'll give a real response to this. I stopped logging for over a month. I kept logging in, though, because I knew it was what I should be doing. Because I kept logging in, participating, and seeing my friends' progress I am now back to it faster than I would have been normally after a slip-up. So I'm back to logging now even though I was one of those people who logged in and went to the forums but didn't log food for like a month. Was it a good idea? No. But without committing to at LEAST logging in every day I might not have come back at all.0

Some people are so ridiculous. If he wants to ask a question, you can answer it with your opinion without bringing up irrelevant matters. It's MFP, grammar isn't being graded, get over yourself.
Furthermore I do agree with people committing fully to the site! If you sign up and set goals for yourself, whether it's exercise, or food (calorie intake, etc) then you should do your best to update them, and if you don't just make your diary private! Empty logging just shows no determination on your part and isn't motivating people on your friends list.
