    Excuse me? What is your problem? Is there any reason you need to be so rude? I wasn't merely looking for sympathy. I was looking for support and advice. And my response to the others wasn't meant to be rude in any way, I was simply saying that to me it is a lot so I didn't want to just brush it off. Please learn to not be such an *kitten* in the future.

    Well damn.

    You seem to be kinda angry there OP. May I suggest...more food? Always perks me right up.

    I'm just not interested in sarcastic, smart *kitten* that's all :)

    Well that's gonna make life kinda complex for you, isn't it?


    I'm gonna go head and stick with 'Needs more food'. But then I eat 1270 calories for dinner+dessert so what do I know?

    I was referring to smart *kitten* on forums where I am expecting to receive support and encouragement, not the opposite.

    Clearly, life is full of *kitten*.

    Congratulations on your calorie intake.

    Thanks. All it takes is not sitting on the couch all day combined with a reasonable deficit and you too can enjoy a life where a 300 calorie drink doesn't screw up your day!



    That'll be 9.99

    Actually, I do not "sit on the couch all day". I work out every day, and eat a fairly healthy diet. I was just a little concerned over a mistake in my day and thought I might be able to find some support. Obviously I was very wrong.

    Other than the small percentage of people with actually helpful advice. And again, thank you to all of you :)

    Your goal is 1270 calories. This implies a few things

    A. You set your activity level at sedentary

    B. You set the amount you'd like to lose too high

    C. Both!

    Hence the assumption that you sit around all day.

    Well, I don't. And maybe those are the settings but I do not recall what I put when I originally signed up. I will go over and redo it. Thanks.

    I'm just letting you know where the assumption comes from. I don't know you to know you're an active person, I just know your goal is a mere 70 calories above the absolute minimum this site will give, so at the very least you told the calculator you sit around all day.

    Sorry if going off of the information you provided upset you.

    Frankly, I did not even know other people could see all of that information. It did not upset me, I just don't appreciate being judged for what I believed to be no reason whatsoever. I don't recall telling the calculator I sit around all day. I also don't think that's a very positive way to phrase it. For example, some jobs actually do require you to do that (i.e. secretary, etc.). I think that if someone actually has to do that for their job, they would appreciate it being worded in a more positive way, because they probably don't even want to 'sit around all day'. That's my opinion though.

    And the going back and forth clearly isn't helping anyone. You just keep getting worked up, OP, and people arguing with you are still getting off because they are getting reactions out of you.

    "And life too" what? I should stay off of life?

    Anything to avoid the sarcastic smart a**es. :smile:
    '

    Thanks for the oh-so-helpful suggestion, but I think I am going to stay 'on' life for now.

    (See, I can be sarcastic too).

    I was mainly referring to smart *kitten* on community boards on websites where I expect support rather than discouragement.


    You might want to review the Community Guidelines sonce you're in violation of them by attacking other users ( calling us *kitten* and smart *kitten*)

    I don't believe I referred to anyone specifically as an *kitten* or a smart *kitten*.

    You inferred that the majority of the people responding are...which is still insulting.

    Well, I find pretty much everything you have said insulting too.

    Everything? Really? So advising you to not demonize foods, that you aren't consuming "empty calories", etc is insulting.

    Please...do go on.

    That was definitely helpful advice, and I thanked you for it. However, all of your posts contain some sort of sarcasm or insult.

    "So no sense of humor. Got it. You might need to retrain your brain on your attitude towards food. It's a legit suggestion because demonizing foods is what is leading you to freak out instead of realizing that one day doesn't make you fat. "

    Just because I'm not really all that fond of people's sarcasm and discouraging comments means I have no sense of humor? I find THAT insulting because that is labelling me as some grumpy person when really I'm quite the opposite, generally.

    No, because you came off as someone that just wants "serious" answers and no humor involved. Instead of concentrating so much on perceived tone and imagining how someone is "coming at you" why not just read/take the advice and leave it at that.

    But hey, no one needs to label you as anything. A lot can be learned by posts.

    I wanted to add, OP, you have 9 lbs to lose.

    You have your calories set way too low at 1270.

    Don't try shooting for "two pounds loss per week" - set it for "1/2 pound loss per week" and set your Activity Level more realistically.

    Just because there are fast-track options, doesn't mean it's a good idea.

    You'll get more calories and be less grumpy.
    Quoting cmriverside's post because it seems to have gotten lost amid the fighting. It was very good advice. Make sure your activity level is set correctly and go a for a moderate rate of weight loss.
  • This stuff is what makes me stay off of forums. It would be so nice if people wanted to be helpful and commented, and people who didn't just didn't. The old mama always said if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all.

    But it's the internet. People know they are millions of miles away from you and you'll never find them and they feel anonymous. it's the whole mob mentality. It's like you can't literally see them doing or saying these things, so they're safe. Unfortunately, you just have to get used to it.

    In fact, there are quite a few people who intentionally go around just trying to start stuff on these forums. So try not to get worked up and just ignore the haters. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm all for the tough love, like when people said hit the gym, eat less at dinner, and get over it. But no one needs to be putting other people down. This is supposed to be a site for support and advice (which, honestly, most users give, even if they aren't nice about it). But guess what, it's also a site for smart alecs, people who want to show off their mostly-naked bodies, dating, extramarital flirting, playing ridiculously assinine games about movies and would you date the person above you, etc. You know, in a perfect world, it'd be a web site for getting support if you want to lose weight or get in shape.

    But it ain't.

    Love this post. Thank you.

    I am all for humor, so long as it does not discourage the person originally looking for support and advice. But that was not the case.

    Even if you have a sedentary job, doesn't necessarily make you sedentary. If you are still walking about and doing some minimal exercise, you'd be considered lightly active.

    I wish I did not seem like I was getting worked up. I am just trying to defend myself, I guess. It is not fun being attacked by a bunch of people at once, for no good reason whatsoever.

    Thanks.

    If I recall correctly, the question they ask you is what amount of activity you get and give examples of professions for each one. So I think maybe that is where the confusion arose. It was a while ago, but I believe when asked what my "activity level" was in terms of the job I have, I put the second lowest as I thought there would be more room to add activity level in terms of workouts done, etc.

  • 300 calories really? That is like one serving of oatmeal...log it and move on ...

    Yeah but oatmeal is full of fibre, low fat, and protein. This beverage was mostly just high in sugar and bad fat.

    I don't understand all these people who think all food is equivalent because their calorie amount is equivalent.

    Yeah but oatmeal is full of fibre, low fat, and protein. This beverage was mostly just high in sugar and bad fat.

    I don't understand all these people who think all food is equivalent because their calorie amount is equivalent.

    Bad fat? Did the beverage have such an abundance of saturated fat that it made you go way over your weekly allotted amount?

    then stop drinking them and have something else....problem solved...

    She will. She was just venting because she didnt' realize what she had consumed and it caught her by surprise. She'll be fine.

    Sent you a FR, OP.

    Thanks a bunch.

    Bad fat? What? What fat? It was just soy milk and sugar right?

    This stuff is what makes me stay off of forums. It would be so nice if people wanted to be helpful and commented, and people who didn't just didn't. The old mama always said if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all.

    But it's the internet. People know they are millions of miles away from you and you'll never find them and they feel anonymous. it's the whole mob mentality. It's like you can't literally see them doing or saying these things, so they're safe. Unfortunately, you just have to get used to it.

    In fact, there are quite a few people who intentionally go around just trying to start stuff on these forums. So try not to get worked up and just ignore the haters. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm all for the tough love, like when people said hit the gym, eat less at dinner, and get over it. But no one needs to be putting other people down. This is supposed to be a site for support and advice (which, honestly, most users give, even if they aren't nice about it). But guess what, it's also a site for smart alecs, people who want to show off their mostly-naked bodies, dating, extramarital flirting, playing ridiculously assinine games about movies and would you date the person above you, etc. You know, in a perfect world, it'd be a web site for getting support if you want to lose weight or get in shape.

    But it ain't.

    Note: I don't remember promising to support or advise anyone when I signed up for MFP.

    What's the point, then? Do you just want to show off your body, and seek attention, and put others down when they're simply looking for support?

    As you said. You can tell a lot about people through their posts.

    No. "I" said that, not Achyra in regards to telling about people through their posts. And Achyra has actually lent a lot of advice and her own experiences in the majority of her posts here, so not sure what you are saying...

    OP, YOU are the one who started attacking.

    You reap what you sow.



    I like to look at Achrya's body, so there is that. She has been nothing but polite.

    Although I also like Manatees and snorkeling having grown up in Florida.

    you know there is this really cool and new feature called the MFP phone app that has this additionally really cool feature called a Database. So the database is where you can look up different foods, and drinks and see the calorie counts....yea, so you could of like checked out this ap, went into the database and looked up the calorie count on this drink before you drank it....and then you would of saved yourself all this time and frustration...

    or not, and then post a thread about it,and get mad about all the responses....*shrugs shoulders*
