    People who've lost x amount of weight and suddenly think either they are an expert in everything weight loss or fitness related or that their way is the only way. It worked for them, it must worked for everyone else

    Beachbody

    People who don't see any benifit to exercise other than weight loss

    Or, how about "I've been dieting for 3 months, and I've only lost 80 lbs"...

    Zombie threads.

    I feel like such a dope when I forget to look at the date of the OP and end up giving advice that is probably meaningless to the poster since it's been 6 months, 10 months, 2 years …. :noway:

    Do you gain water weight on your period?

    Seeing this 10 times a day on the same board makes me want to throat punch people.

    When a bunch of people are tryin' to be coaches to you and you're pretty much just here to log food and mess around. I'm self motivated so it peeves me when people come at me like that.

    Period talk/TOM/PMS... I'd rather talk about stuff guys can also relate to, like farts, burps, poo. We all do it. Besides, I never let a period stop me.

    Eta: Oh and why is it TMI to talk about poo to females that talk about TOM. Ugh!

    I don't know what's worse: people who post message like "eating less than 1000 calories and still gaining weight!" or those who comment: "don't worry, it's probably muscle".

    I haven't read this thread yet but it's pretty funny.

    I'm sure it's been mentioned a bunch of times but the period thing bugs the crap out of me. I don't want to offend anyone but I've been here a long time and the questions about "period weight" come up so much. And people acting like they've never had a period. I feel like you should know how your body works by now as a woman. Right? Lets face it, as a woman there is one week during the month where we feel somewhat normal!! :laugh:

    And debbie downers. The negative people and those that insult just to insult. And people that say that my pic makes them think of glasses only. Everyone says that when I have a glasses pic up. I'm more than my glasses!!!! :angry: :grumble: :laugh: :wink:

    Debbie Downers! :)

    The food database needs an overhaul. Sometimes I scan food and calories have less than what is marked on package


    It bugs me when someone asked a "noob" question and people reply with rude condescending posts. Just answer the question nicely or don't post at all not everybody is a know it all with diet and exercise.

    People who don't log daily and people who never eat vegetables! How do they poop!?

    Don't care about the veggies, but I hate when people haven't logged for three months and then ask people to look at their diary and see what's wrong with their food intake.

    Also, why can't you unsubscribe from threads in the "my topics" section? You post one comment in a thread on page 2 and you're still seeing the stupid thing when it's on page 14 (or more).

    On average, I would side with just messing around or being sarcastic. The general vibe of MFP can be pretty sarcastic but it doesn't usually get outright malicious.

    People who use "TL'DR"...

    So what if someone goes on a bit? I often open a thread and halfway through think I can't be bothered with this, but just click off the tread.

    Why bother to take the time just to throw in that patronising little quip?? It's just rude.

    The quote thing gets me. Why can't we quote the user??? I also want to unsubscribe from some posts. I'm tired of playing the 'guess this person's age game'. :laugh:

    I hate that you can only adjust macro nutrients in increments of 5%.

    - People who seem to take it personally that you didn't lose weight according to their personal creed, rules, or dieting declarations.

    - Almost all talk of "starvation mode". Seriously, STFU, you're clueless.

    - Failed dieters who are the first in line to give advice on successful dieting.

    - Posters who swear they're "starving" themselves but still gaining weight.

    - People who assume because they personally can't sustain XYZ program/system/whatever, nobody can.

    - Those who seriously think they gained 2 lbs of fat overnight because they indulged too much the day before.

    - Dieters who are obviously losing weight, looking better, and feeling great who still aren't happy because the scale hasn't yet reflected their loss.

    - People who severely underestimate their bodyfat %

    - People who set goal weights that are still in an unhealthy range.

    - People who swear they have "loose skin" and need surgery, yet it's apparent that "loose skin" is just fat.

    People who announce on their newsfeed at least 3 times a week (in a bragging way that is masked by a fake "annoyed and exasperated" tone) that they are getting creepy PMs and are being bombarded with friend requests. Apparently, this is supposed to be the unspoken NSV that you are so hot you are being stalked regularly? Anyhow, assuming there is any truth to it, just deny, block and be done with it. No need to bring all of Mfp into it.
