To attain a certain number on the scale, regardless of what the body looks like.1

An idiot once told me to eat clay.1

To eat breakfast because it will boost my metabolism. What? No. I hate breakfast. I despise breakfast. I don't want to eat breakfast. Not only that, there has been no research to show it does anything to your metabolism. So leave my breakfastlessness alone!
THIS!!! I do way better when I start eating at noon then when I force myself to eat calories I don't want.4 -
that i need to eat/do XYZ to detox my body from all the toxins.0

YES!! I HATE breakfast!3 -
As accurate as it may be, I hate it when people tell me to just be patient. I'm not an idiot, I know it takes time, but if I'm asking for advise/fitness tips don't blow me off.2

Please be patient, @dwulet130 we can't rush good advice.2 -

This is the one that bugs me most as well. My friends say it ALL the time. Not only does breakfast usually involve the least appetising foods for me personally (cereal, ewwww), it makes no sense to force myself to have breakfast when I'm not hungry. I'd much rather have a more substantial lunch and dinner.3 -
"You should treat yourself, you earned it" or " You should give yourself a break on counting calories for a bit, you don't want to over do it."
I have worked so hard for a reason, stop telling me to "treat myself" because I don't need to. I don't deprive myself of things I want. I eat them in moderation within my calories/macros.7 -

My most hated advice:
After I tell someone about Ketogenics:
Are you serious? Carbs are healthy! You can't live without rice, pasta, bread, pizza, doughnuts, and crack!1 -
"[Fill in the blank] is sooo bad for you!"2

Yes, the wraps! Why is it that whenever I see a vehicle driving around with all that advertising for the wraps, it's an overweight person in the driver's seat? I mean not that I care about a person's weight, but when you're touting a weight-loss product, shouldn't the seller be a ringing endorsement?
Omg the wraps. And the "supplements" that go with them. I know people that use this stuff and sell this stuff and spend God knows what on this stuff and haven't lost a pound. BUT "IT WORKS" YALL!1 -
Oh, and the "You are supposed to feel hungry when you lose weight, that's how you know you are eating less"... Why isn't this girl making a cure for cancer as well?1

I can't stand when people tell me if I'm eating organic or "natural" foods I can eat as much as I want and not gain weight.2

"Women shouldn't lift heavy weights." A coworker once told me I lifted heavy because I "want to be a man."2

Ugh god. So many women don't understand why I lift. Or they "worry" about me. So glad I have friends on here I can talk to.1 -
I think the people that tell me that there is one true way to lose weight, beyond calories in being less than calories out, annoys me the most. I like people that ask questions or point me to interesting new ideas as I am always open to them. I find when most people tell me "You have to do x,y or z to lose weight", when I ask...how much have you lost? It pretty much ends the conversation.2

That I shouldn't drink alcohol if I want to lose weight. Frankly, skinny and miserable ain't ideal either4
