why oh why??

Well... maybe a little more leeway on these sorts of requests is warranted, given how often "common sense" in the realm of diet and exercise turns out to be nonsensical. Remember all those years when pretty much all the "authorities" proclaimed the end of heart disease with the high-carb, low-fat diet or that "all you need is aerobics" or all you ever have to do is "cardio in the fat burning zone"?

Though there is a lot to be said for using the handy little search box before you ever post a question on the forums. An awful lot...

EDITED for grammatical nonsense.

There are times when all of my energy goes into not asking this question. I think that sometimes people just want to be argumentative, and the topic is somewhat irrelevant as long as they are able to start drama and get into it with whoever will listen. Smh.

this 1,000 x's this. Asking people to provide advice, they take their time to respond, and then argue with the advice. My neck hurts sometimes from the head shaking.

Well, we have one tonight, thread after thread, and not really listening to the advice (any advice), they just become a troll to me and I eventually ignore them.

Are there so many people who ask for advice and then get upset when people give said advice? Seriously, don't get into a tizzy if the answer isn't the one you want. Put on your big boy pants already...

Or big girl panties.
I think because they aren't serious enough about making the changes they whine over.

And here I didn't even know there WERE big-boy pants.... :laugh:

+1 for this acknowledgement of diet/weight/food/nutrition insanity

I almost made the comment gender inclusive but then nah.

I agree that the term " adult undergarments" would not have been as effective. :laugh:

Some op's are their own worst enemies. Its almost sad how they are.

That's strange, I'm always told to take my pants off.

Once again - I have to blame skinny jeans. I don't think it is possible to fit big boy underwear under those.

*taps foot* Still waiting.

I'm at work. They frown on that here.

Eff the po-lice! Strip, dammit.

You heard her! :drinker:

Hold up. You're at work and you're allowed to play on the interwebs, but you can't take your pants off?! That's some backwards shniz if I ever heard it.
