I HATE when people on MFP say.....

"Everybody is different".

"We're all here for the same reason."



:huh:

"why is everyone mean here?"


Um, most are not... they are just blunt and to the point. Just because others do not want to validate someone else's food or fitness choices does not make them mean... and seeing who the mean people are I am more likely to take their advice rather than be validated in what I think should happen...

Oh and if anyone wants mean, I have said it once and I'll say it a million times, go to babycenter, the knot, or someplace like sodahead. People there are actually mean...

my wife posts on the knot...the women there are crazier than the ones here...

Has she been on a birthboard? Add in pregnancy hormones and debates over whether or not you should pierce an infants ears or to vaccinate, breastfeed, circumcise a boy, or even what to name a kid... how did I survive that place without a strike....

Chocolate...lots and lots of chocolate :laugh:

Muscle weighs more than fat. NO, muscle is more dense than fat. A pound is a pound is a pound.

But it's dumb cause most everyone knows what someone means when they say "muscle weighs more than fat". Granted, the "muscles weighs more than fat" comment pops up where it is unnecessary a lot, but to correct that every time, and then have a 2 page discussion about it gets ridiculous. No single item in the world weighs more than any other single item in the world I suppose, cause a lb is a lb.

I thought she was on your side by saying that statement annoys her...but I can see how this could be read the other way...lol

When people ask for "advice" (read:validation) on an unsustainable diet then call everyone mean and haters for giving them sensible advice.

This.
Frack, it gets annoying.

People who think that the answer to weight loss is extreme low carb (carbs of any kind are to be avoided as much as possible). They are free to do what they want but when they talk about it like it is a religion it gets on my nerves.

I also don't get the whole trend of eliminating a food that other people (not the poster!) have allergies or sensitivities to in order to loss weight.

See, the problem is that while most everyone knows that, not everyone does. Some people will argue til they're blue in the face that muscle is actually heavier. I am not a science or math wiz, but I get the concept of mass and volume. Some people just don't. It's stupid, but it irks me...LOL.

Something that kinds of gets to me... is when you go over your calorie goal one day and people say "That's okay, you can start again tomorrow" and then they say that for then next two weeks when you continuously go over the goal and start logging weight gains.

While it's true one day once in a while isn't going to hurt, I think sometimes I, at least, need a bit of tough love. You can be polite while alerting someone to the fact they need to do better to see the results they want, definitely possible. Eg.

"Don't worry about going over today, but make sure you're diligent for the rest of the week! Maybe try to get a few extra exercises in "

This!

When people say that the fat acceptance movement is dangerous and promotes an unhealthy lifestyle.

When people say that they can't drink water and trying to do so gags them and or nauseates them. I have never, ever understood that.

I get people might different prefernce on food but water...yeah...I can't get this one...why water bothers people?

It used to make me nauseous when I drank water first thing in the morning. I drink water throughout the rest of the day with no problem. That was the only time of day it did that, it was weird, but I'm stubborn and kept drinking it anyway. Eventually it stopped making me nauseous and started making me feel more awake.

Not really something people say but..

people that have been on MFP for months or years and haven't lost a pound (not talking about those that have already met their goal)

Either way The point remains. Wasn't a dig at the poster regardless of which side she falls on. Just a point

You are such a hater.

when people talk about "eating clean"

There is no... such... thing.,.

hush you - I wash my foods

Eating clean just means that you eat whole foods, no prepackaged heavily preserved product.

"eating clean"
Has different meaning for everyone.....
And most foods you buy at a store are processed in some way, even if they are in the produce section

Not this this annoys me but .. Saving this so I can read more later!
