ugh, they promised me they would ban me, but then they said I couldnt participate in super secret evil groups of hidden MFPeeps and I didnt want to lose that little space here, because only maybe 3 people in our real lives can stomach hearing about how much i lift, my plan, my new plan, my rock climbing, my races, my race plan and my meal plan. if I try to talk to them about it, they get this SHOOT ME IN THE FACE BEFORE I HAVE A HEART ATTACK AND DIE OF THE NOT-CARING.
and I cant take away the one place where I can actually talk about fitness stuff.
Besides, I cant let the biddies win.-1 -

^^Understandable. I figured out how very few people IRL actually GAF about calorie deficits and such when I joined here a few years back.
I would talk to people about how great MFP was and they just wanted me to go away.0 -

someone banned deficits a couple pages ago. you have to eat OVER your calorie goal from now on because it has been declared.
Darn. How bout negative surplus? Huh, huh, that should be a good work around.
Or would it be zero?0 -

How about "funner"0

"My personal trainer told me__________, so it must be true"0

I hate both lifestyle and diet. What word should I use though?!
Way of eating. Abbreviate it WOE and write a lot about my WOE. I promise that won't annoy anyone. Really.
Personally, I don't mind the term "diet" which either means, well, your way of eating or the fact that you are eating at a calorie level intended to cause weight loss, both pretty neutral things. I guess I don't mind lifestyle either, but it in theory should encompass much more than how you eat, like broader changes relating to activity and living in a way conducive to health or some such. But beyond that my lifestyle still does include lots of things that really have nothing to do with fitness or weight.0 -

The one that is driving me crazy and I never hope to hear again: "Starvation mode."

Well said.0 -
Agreed. I think declaring other people's food "unworthy" is beyond absurd. It's, well, pathetic. :drinker:JazzFischer1989 wrote: »-Posts alternative recipe to traditional pasta dish, but still uses the original name of said dish-
"THAT'S NOT REAL SPAGHETTI/LASAGNA/PIZZA, AND MY DEAD ITALIAN GRANDMOTHER WOULD BE ROLLING IN HER GRAVE"
So yes, I totally agree.

Oh, that's beautiful. Worthy of a politician.

JazzFischer1989 wrote: »"Lift heavy"
why?
It's probably not the safest advice to give an unfit person who's never lifted, since it can lead to overtraining or injuries. I'm guilty of using the phrase, but i'm trying to replace it with "follow a good program". Good programs explain the proper progression from light to heavy.
Anyway, moving on...
"Stomach", when referring to "belly". The stomach is higher, up near the ribs.
"Lean protein" - protein is, by definition, lean. "Lean protein sources" is probably a better term.
"I NEED HELP!!!" - I check to make sure they're not having a medical emergency, then i click the back button.
A "terrible problem" with having only 4-pack abs, having one calf 1/4 inch larger than the other, or similar first-world problem that no else notices.

"loose" as in I want to "loose weight". It's lose not loose! Fourth Graders can figure it out, why can't adults?0

Some of us might be cyborgs actually.
Fun fact, did you know that any person with artificial parts is technically a cyborg (not saying they aren't still human. They are.)? So people with say, a pacemaker or a prosthetic eye or arm would be cyborgs. If I ever need something like that at least I will be able to take some solace in the fact that I'm now an awesome cyborg.
Though I suppose then we're both real women and real cyborgs.
WAIT, some people are real men...
...
This thread is fun.
I have a bionic leg (titanium tibial spike and 4 large titanium screws, which sets off ALL the metal detectors). Am I no longer a "real woman"?
*tongue firmly in cheek*

I usually always preface it by saying learn proper form and I would suggest watching videos and reading x book …

What is real food? Do people eat fake foods? Like the wax fruit sitting out for decoration? Does unprocessed mean I can't have milk (it's been processed)? What about bread? And what's wrong with canned food? Most veggies I eat have been canned. Does that add calories?
"Eating close to the earth" makes me think of someone hunkered down in a garden eating a carrot with the dirt still on it.0 -
