    "rate me/look at me/compliment me/flirt with me/give me attention" threads for those desperate for attention/approval. there are literally a million of them. literally.

    nothing wrong with that i guess, but it's definitely the most common thread topic.

    This. The sad thing is they also seem to be the most popular. And I must shamefully admit that I've participated. I was just experimenting though. It was my first time. I know better now.

    What's so sad about it?? We're hear for kudos and motivation, having someone tell you that you look good/are making great progress, is part of that.

    Especially if you ignore the fact that the comments and ratings are entirely contrived and completely meaningless...

    ...well, unless you're blind to that little fact.

    Carry on...

  • TOM ...cry me a friggin river..some people act like they never had an effin period til they joined MFP.

    SHOULD I EAT BACK WORKOUT CALORIES.... only if you're looking for an excuse to eat more!!

    HELP..I SNACK TOO MUCH AT NIGHT..NEED PEOPLE TO MOTIVATE ME!!....this one I hate the most. Why do you need strangers to motivate you? Looking at my own wiggly wobbly hump in the mirror everyday, is all the motivation I need to get up off my dumper. Seriously, People!!!

    Maybe its unfair but i find the "i need motivation/why is this so hard/omg i ate a cookie/ohh i just want to quit" a bit lame.

    "Starvation mode true or myth"

    "1200 calories bad?!" This is getting old! :grumble:

    "Rate the person above you" What if I dont :laugh:

    "Whats the secret to weightloss" *facepalm* there IS no secret! Only hard work and consistency :wink:

    I must be the exception to all of these scientifically proven weight loss / muscle gain techniques. It definitely has nothing to do with my piss poor execution, science is wrong.

    Has anyone tried the Thirty Day Shred?
    I need someone to motivate me.
    I'm confused. What is BMR?
    I am exercising a million hours a day and eating only a lettuce leaf, but I GAINED WEIGHT!
