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?
Have a nice life. That was exhausting to read.
some people amaze me .... i bet all your 11,484 post had absolutely no thought behind them ;-)
Why are you so concerned with how many posts people have?
As for grammar not mattering, this is a written form of communication and if people can't understand what you're trying to say because you don't communicate well in the written form, that's a problem.0 -
Empty logging just shows no determination on your part and isn't motivating people on your friends list.
I disagree. What do you say to the person who has become obsessive over it to the point that an eating disorder develops?0 -
I love all the women defending a guy who basically told them to shut their mouths 3 pages back...
You'll forgive a hot guy anything, won't you ladies?0 -

Are you kiddin' me right now? Communication must not have been a problem for you whatsoever if you were capable of understanding what he said enough to comment.. (that goes for everyone else, as well.)0 -
I KNOW!!! WTH?? lol i feel soo bad logging in when im bad, but i do it anyways.. its the only way i can hold myself accountable for all the crap i eat!.... and my diary is public so i would like suggestions and ideas on my meals.. just like id like to look at someone else's and get an idea of what healthy eating is like.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.
Although I love the people on my friends list...I am not doing this for them. If you are annoyed by someone not logging...delete them and find friends that fit your specifications.0 -
I stopped logging my food here when my therapist clued me into the fact that it was causing me way more anxiety than the actual diet and exercise. I had to find a compromise to stay with the diet without doing further damage to myself and my life.
I stay here because I learn things on the forums, I still track my exercise, and the food database is great when I need to look up something that's not part of my regular diet (like today's Starbucks coffee cake).
I honestly don't understand why my blank diary bothers so many people. And when you close it all you get are people wondering why it's closed and what you're hiding. It's a no win situation.0 -

It doesn't take a lot of thinking to be here. You'll see.
Well, I'm glad you've found a forum that's not too tough on you. Sorry about the big words tiring you out. *pats head*0 -

Who's the hot guy who told all the ladies to shut their mouths? I miss everything! time to put the glasses on and go look for him0 -
Actually, it seems most people in this thread grossly misunderstood what he was saying in his first post.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.

If you don't log the days you eat like crap you don't gain weight cause it ain't in your log. Duh!
How come no one told me this before now. Crap! I have been doing it wrong.

It's not any of your business, but, I don't expect to have to log my calories every day for the rest of my life, but right now I do, for me - not for you. I tried to take some time off from it and I backslid. Meh... it happens, I guess I wasn't ready. I'm back at it, but it doesn't concern you. That's why my diary is set for friends only...0

I'll save you the trip.BY FAR THE BEST ANSWER I GOT AND MORE OF WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR,,,,, but instead got all the women who just like to talk ;-)
If that ain't a way of saying "shutup ladies there are men talking here" than I don't know a misogynist when I see one.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.
That's good for you, and I'm sure everybody here (even original poster) would commend you on that because clearly you did it to better yourself. But I think he was just asking "why", not saying that you're doing it wrong.0 -
If you wanted advice on what to eat you could have posted that question instead of looking like the jerk that you turned out to be.0

While I think 99% of the people on this site should be logging, I do think there are people who don't need to - they have good eating habits and don't need to monitor every single calorie.
Isn't that the ultimate goal anyways? To have good habits, a good "relationship" with food/eating, and to have a decent workout routine so that we don't have to log on a daily basis? Sure, maybe log for a few days every couple of months to check yourself, or to figure out the nutrition info on a new recipe, but ultimately aren't we all striving to not have to log?
Personally, I log about 50% of the time. Certain foods that are the staple of my diet I don't worry about. When when I'm not eating my normal foods, or when I'm changing my calorie goals (bulking, cutting, racing, etc), then I'll log to make sure I am where I want to be.

You're giving his original post too much credit. He's already admitted that he did it just because he's bored. Really. He's really not sitting around trying to learn more about humanity.How dare you try to learn more about humanity!0 -

Hey man you can take it how ever you want ;-) but yeah not what i was saying ... but like you said already , I don't care what you think. so assume away bud0 -
Maybe they are here to witness people getting owned by homonyms
Once in college but that doesn't make me gay damnit!!
Just a little curious?0 -
I recently became a foster mom to two wonderful kiddos, so honestly my mind is on other things. I still log in and check with people and once my routines are established and we get to know the kids better, I'll return to logging.
Honestly everyone is different. If you really are annoyed by this, you may be better off posting a topic asking for people who are in your situation who fill out their food logs to reply so that you may request them as friends and/or just look at their food logs. People are here for different reasons, and we are all in different places in our fitness / healthy lifestyle.0 -
So... if someone's bored, they can't use the time to learn something? What are you supposed to do with your time?
Oh, right - watch TV. Read fiction novels. Go drink and do dumb stuff and hope nobody took pictures. Just DON'T learn anything that doesn't relate to an imaginary character.0 -
Also, I didn't take his post as misogynistic. It was apparent he was noting the presence of the particular females that are looking for drama, not the people contributing to valuable conversational exchange.0

He wasn't trying to learn anything. Read his post. He wanted to fight.
He got it, he just doesn't like the way it's going.0 -
People on my FL understand. Why is yours of your child?^ Hahaha. yeah why the feet?0 -

What they said! Wait, I DON'T log anyway and I RARELY cheat. I have a basic menu that I follow. I'm a finicky eater and I know what I can and can't have. After doing my food long enough now, I know what I am doing. I make adjustments where I need. I will log some exercise to give me a total for the day and week but even then I do more walking and that , which I don't typically log.
I am here for the additional support and camradery. No one else in my family has to do this. I eat quite differently than they do and get up at 4 to work out so my requirements don't make them have to sacrifice any more than my working two jobs. Sometimes this site helps remind me that I am NOT alone because there have plenty of times where I have felt like it even though my family supports me 100000000%.
Plus, my diary would do you no good, I'm on the opposite journey you are...0 -

Just stop trying to be the voice of reason. Stop, you. STOP.0
