Does it not bug anyone the repetitive nature of questions?

Questions don't bother me. Horrible spelling and grammar on the other hand...

With the mindset you have, you would think that teachers, professors, and other helping professionals would get annoyed by all the repetitive questions they get. It's an opportunity to inform so we can continue growing a community of knowledgeable users. We've all been there, and sometimes, the search function just doesn't come up with what we need. Maybe that person thinks their situation is unique (most of the time, it isn't).

It doesn't help when someone asks a question that has been asked many times before, and have people respond, "Oh man, here it goes again. You're TOTALLY the first one to ask this question." They may just not come back for information with that attitude and risk injury because they don't feel welcomed to ask questions here.

To make a long answer short, no, I am not bothered. I just hope that people listen and take in the advice they ask for.

It doesn't bug me at all. There is a learning curve for everyone. People are just beginning here all the time and trying to learn their way.

repetitive questions help me loose wait

:laugh:

What strikes me as more pointless than the repetitive questions is the "would you ______ the person above you/spank, date, dump, whatever to the person above you/person above you profession/name, etc?" These are posted constantly--no, I don't look at them anymore. As for the repetitive questions, I'm a little more lenient, esp if a noobie is inquiring. Sure, the Search can be implemented. Besides, on this site, just how esoteric does one want the inquiries??

THIS! I don't mind pointless threads just to have fun but when there's a million threads that are the "Spank, date, dump, etc etc etc. the person above you?", it just drives me crazy.

I do use the search function when I'm looking for some specific and like someone else pointed everyone's situation is different. It may be a similar question but it's not always the same answer.

I love the "I just can't eat my 1200 cal. I'm too stuffed" yet you look at their ticker and they're like 200lbs overweight. Just insane how many of those are posted.

I don't expect everyone to understand this kind of thing because everyone is different. I got to be overweight from eating food that had tons of calories in it (candies, sodas etc). Once I started eating healthier foods I started to eat real food that fills me up quickly without a bazillion calories. I also started drinking tons of water instead of sodas and waiting 20 minutes before eating more. I'm learning to eat all of the nutrients I need to eat instead of a big ole pack of sour stuffed twizzlers that left me craving even more crap food even though it had 1064 calories in a bag. I am also really intent on making the right choices for myself now and I worry that if I make a misstep just to get extra calories it might lead me towards justifying eating junk.

I'm not used to this sensation of being satisfied. It feels great, but It's a whole different level of understanding how my body works. If you can't handle that then don't read posts from people asking for help getting to 1200. Why not just bypass them if you know they are something that annoys you? I've never asked the 1200 calorie question but I DO have to really think about what I can eat to get to my 1280. Those threads offer some really wonderful insight from people that truly do want to help people like me and I really appreciate it.

So for those of you that patiently answer all of our questions without being annoyed I really want to THANK YOU for being so kind to us. I certainly vow to never forget that I too asked silly questions and will try to help others as much as possible once I feel comfortable doing so. You're all angels. My Fitness Pal angels.

Edite/Corrected: I got this way from eating way too much of foods that has tons of calories. I can still have candy. I just have to work it into my calories and probably don't need to eat the entire bag.

I loveeeeeeee it! The repetition titillates me.

IN! for titillates...

wheeeeeeeee!!!!! Yesyesyesyesyes!

The search feature is our friend but maybe someone new isn't familiar with the program so it's not a big deal to me. Those who constantly give carpy advice annoys the heck out of me. You know the "everything is evil" group. :devil:

I have one repetitive question: why do so many spell "lose" as "loose"?
