I feel bad for some of them too, especially when it's someone that is new to the site. Some people just don't have the health/weight loss knowledge and are looking for real advice and people attack them...and then there are the idiots, so ya know.
Yeah. but my take on it is this. I did A LOT of reading on this site before I began contributing to the threads. I still haven't started a thread. People should learn the site, and the SEARCH FUNCTION, before posting about how they are going to do a cleanse for a jump start of their metabolism.
Agreed. I wouldn't ask a 'help me' question here. No way! Other than my hard boiled egg question I asked on this thread. lol
I agree about searching first. Search the millions of "why am I not loosing" threads. 99% of the answers are the same.
This. All day.0 -

I feel bad for them and I find it strange. I've had doctors who've given me outright terrible advice and have no idea what they're talking about, but come on this site and some people expect you to know more than the doctors who've told me to do the cabbage soup diet or not to eat any fat because that makes you fat.

I've been walking around work with Third Eye Blind - How's It Going To Be stuck in my head. I hum and sing aloud frequently lol.0

I mentioned before that I have a phobia of walking outside because I nearly stepped in a very dead raccoon. I've been trying to work on that, so today I took my son to a park that has a playground and a very out in the open 1/2 mile jogging path circling it. It also has lots of trash cans and plenty of free plastic bags for dog walkers.
It's hot and humid today, and those trash cans are starting to smell like that raccoon. About half way through my first lap, I started breathing through my mouth to lessen the impact when I'd approach one. An unidentified bug flew in my mouth, I couldn't cough it out, had left my water in the car, and didn't want to embarrass my son by everyone watching his mom puke in the middle of the park from walking a quarter mile. So I swallowed it. I didn't quit, either, I did the rest of my laps before coming home. And then I kept thinking about it, and started feeling a weird tickle in the back of throat, and then I convinced myself it was probably a stray bug leg, and then I started thinking that it was probably a fly, since a bee would've hurt, and flies have been crawling all over the dog poop in the garbage, and yeah, there came back breakfast and the bug. I guess the upside is I don't have to log the bug now?
Not any closer to wanting to walk outside after this.
*snort*
I would've just spit out the bug. I am not a delicate spitter.
I confess, I've swallowed more than a couple of bugs in my lifetime. It's gross, but it's a fact of life when you run outside before sunrise.
Or biking, especially in a wooded area. Blech. Or they fuse to your eyeball (because you're too stubborn to wear sunglasses).
I was going down a particularly steep section of single-track trail and had to pass between two trees. I got a spider web across the face - and the spider came with it! It was on my eyelid and I had my eye shut but I could see the shadow of it moving across my eyelid. I couldn't stop where I was and somehow completed the hill with my eyes shut. I couldn't get it off my face fast enough once I hit flat open ground.
Did I mention I'm scared of spiders?
Yikes. The stinkbug in the shower this morning doesn't seem half as bad anymore.
I kept finding those little b@!$4!&$ in my hotel room in VA. Then just after I got home I found one in my house. I looked it up online to find it was a stink bug and found an article about how they haven't made it to the UK but there are fears about the effect on farming if they do. Must have snuck over in my suitcase. I was worried I was going to cause some kind of ecological disaster. I caught it and flushed it down the loo. Didn't find anymore, so hopefully was just a solo hitchhiker.
And daddy long legs/crane flies are totally harmless aren't they? They don't bother me, just kind of hover around. Moths are what I really hate.
I was going to say, I have NO IDEA what these are and I hope to keep it that way! So what are Horse Flies? Because they bite and I thought they were crane flies, so now I'm confused.
Horse flies look like a regular house fly only about twice the size, still prefer those over deer flies though those little *kitten* can all die in a volcano.
OMG, deer flies. Even though the gnat swarms that are out and about now are terrible, the deer flies are effing awful. Ah, the spring and summer time joys of living next to a wetland basin.
I live in the southern US and we have Palmetto bugs. Google it! Think big roach...that can fly!0 -
Confession: I stayed up way later than I should have finishing a book last night...but still got up at 5 to go to the gym, so at least there's that.
Taking a few days off from the gym while I was away definitely did me some good. Felt stronger lifting today!0 -

Palmetto bugs are massive. Like they're bulked up on steroids.

Yep, and it gives us entertaining flame threads to read.

I like to pretend that these bugs don't exist. I mean, I know they do, but not in my alternate reality. *la la la*0 -

The posters or the oreos?
Watermelon Oreo season is almost upon us. This delectable treat is found at Target stores, sorry Canada, even though you're half French, you didn't take to the French Superstore.
After Watermelon Oreo season comes Candy Corn Oreo Season.
It's going to be a sweet summer and fall
Don't forget Winter & the White Fudge Oreos *drools*
Did you try the Cotton Candy Oreos? They tasted better than I thought they would. I saw Wal-Mart has the Cookie Dough Oreos exclusively, but they tasted more like coffee than Cookie Dough.
It's almost 10 & I've have already ate most of my calories.
Had a White Chocolate Raspberry Quest bar, two string cheeses, Quaker Protein Cranberry Almond Oatmeal with Blue Diamond Coconut Almonds, a pack of Nonnis Thin Coconut Thins, two Quaker Chocolate Rice cakes with 0.5 servings of Sweet & Salty Peanuts & a half serving of each MaraNatha Maple Butter with Molasses & a half serving of White Chocolate wonderful. The last thing I ate was two servings of Dannon Plain yogurt with two tablespoons of Hershey's Unsweetened Powder, & a half serving of Imitation Butter Extract.0 -

Wow! Hungry day? That's impressive by 10:00 a.m.0 -
This has to be the scariest bug I've ever seen while vacationing in WV.

They're called Hellgrammites in the larvae stage & at that stage it's even scarier looking.0 -
I worked for Walmart for a while. My favourite customer service story (not mine, unfortunately) was the couple who tried to return a toaster oven. When the returns woman opened the box to check what was in it, she found a concrete block inside! I guess it used to not be policy to check every item. The couple just left the store.

It's like they're trying to find a cutesy way to say "I'm a rotten little thief", but oh no, we can't call teens thieves, we can't tell them the truth that they're stealing and acting like criminals, we'll dress it up in some cutesy phrase so that subconsciously we teach them their behaviour is okay because they're just teenagers aww how cute!
I worked in retail for a number of years. Thieves infuriate me, and so many of the teens we busted didn't even care, because they knew they'd get a slap on the wrist (if anything) from the courts/their parents, and they got to go round bragging to all their friends about how cool they were for shoplifting. ARRRRRGH.
My favorites are the people who steal stuff & then try to return the items to get a gift card or money.

Ohh, I've done that too. Not quite as much (nearly 40lbs) but I gained it really, shockingly, upsettingly quickly.kyrannosaurus wrote: »I regained all 25kg I had lost - and then a few more. It only took me a year to gain it back. Now I am working on losing it again (7kg down, 24 to go)
Good for us for getting back to it!

I've only tried the regular Oreos. I love the double stuff kind.0

Most people who ask legitimate questions I don't see necessarily get bashed, but rather the thread starters who post multiple threads asking for advice on the same subject & never take any of the good suggestions, pick fights, & are basically just looking for an excuse to further their behavior/lack of weight loss.0
