What are some of the favorite topics that get people's panties in a knot? I haven't been in the community long, but I'm starting to notice some trends... I just thought it would be fun to point them out here and have a chuckle

I'll start:

"I'm eating less than 1,000 calories / day and still not losing weight"
"has anyone had any luck taking ***** pills to lose weight"
"clean eating vs junk food to lose weight"
"I noticed someone at my gym doing X"
"how can I lose 10 lbs in a week for a wedding" or "[anything to do with] detox"


now my own pet peeve:

DON'T POST A RECIPE YOU HAVE FOUND BUT NOT TRIED!!! PINTREST IS RUINING FOOD FOR EVERYONE WITH REALLY STUPID IDEAS... IF I WANT A BAD IDEA FROM THE INTERNET I'LL GO GET IT MYSELF!

anyone have any other good ones?

    Gaining weight during your period.
    Boob shrinkage with weight loss.

    They aren't bad questions, but a simple google search (or MPF search) would lead them right to an answer.

    ETA: To clarify, it's the frequency of these threads that's really annoying.

    "Drinking diet soda will inhibit weight loss" or "Aspartame will kill you!"

    But will weight loss make my boobs shrink? I hope not because I am down to almost nothing. Any more and my pimentos will look like pepitas.

    My dog ate back all my exercise calories, how do I count that?

    My all time favorite: bang, smash, sneeze or fart threads :noway:

    this is the worst!
    I'm guilty on many of these topics, but definitely not the one above.

    I hate the threads where someone says something along the lines of "I can't run because it hurts. What should I do?" Then they get plenty of great advice, and just give excuses about why they "can't" do anything anyone suggests.

    ETA: I forgot to add - "I swept the floor for 5 minutes. How do I log my exercise calories for that?"

    My boyfriend won't let me lift heavy.
    My boyfriend is sabotaging my diet and/or doesnt want me to lose weight.
    I have difficulty eating more than 1200 calories a day.

    All the people who's first post is about the quick fix. Introduce yourself first & then do a search.

    Posts where someone of a certain religion is looking for other people of the same religion. It's not cool to exclude others, plus it makes you sound snobbish IMO.

    People are mean threads bring the drama possibly faster than anything else. Close contenders include detox threads, clean eating, Dr. Oz, and that pregnancy pee.
