Do you think you can maintain your weight and continue to eat junk food without counting calories and using mfp as a tool to help you?
Habits are created over time. Habits create your lifestyle. Small changes lead to big changes. Personally, I firmly believe that logging your food and tracking your calories can be the basis for healthy change in your body, whether it's losing weight or gaining muscle.
So if someone has made it a habit to track their food and calorie intake to help create a healthier body, why would they give up that habit? If not tracking helped to gain and maintain an unreality body, why wouldn't the inverse also hold true? Do we think professional athletes aren't, at least loosely, tracking what goes into their body? If someone who is in peak physical condition has to do it, why would the average person be able to get away with not tracking?
Granted, there are people who can intuitively eat and I am not knocking their experience. But why *kitten* on someone's parade because they are using, as someone else so elegantly put, a too that helped them be successful, because they want to continue to be successful.
I know this seems like a secondary argument to be upset about but it's really the same thing that OP was pissy about. "They aren't losing/maintaining weight the same way I am. Obviously they are wrong. Let me publicly shame them so I can feel superior and everyone will see how wrong they are. Everyone will see how right and amazing I am and they'll all flock to me with adoration and applause."
That's a fine looking high horse. What ya got in the stable?

And of course you can have Grandma's recipe.
I'll put it up in the Recipes section (probably not until this evening), and post a link here.

"Judgypants" is my new favorite word. I imagine that they look fabulous, and are so uncomfortable that you can't sit down in them.25 -

Where is that awesome button when you need it?16 -
Given the stats on regaining weight after losing, anyone who can maintain their loss by whatever means they use (assuming healthy means, of course) is very impressive!

Are judgy pants related to Mom Jeans?
(Eats one egg for breakfast)
Mom: why are you starving yourself
(Eats two eggs for breakfast)
Mom: that's going to go straight to your hips.
(Single)
Mom: why can't you find someone nice, maybe if you just tried harder
(Dating)
Mom: I don't like them, why would you do that to me

If the hand basket has technical problems you could always use the parachute pants as a hot air balloon

I'm going to wear my big girl pants.
