Another is the people whose profile shot is pornographic. Like the guys with the 6-pack abs whose slacks barely cover their privates. I realize that I may be in the minority on this one....LOL
Or the gals who have to show off a bunch of cleavage......yeah, we know you got boobs, big whoop!
I keep trying to think up a pithy response to this, but a picture paints a thousand words.

*Cues up "Hit me with you best shot"*
*Waits with baited breath*
You eat bait?
Sometimes.......errrrr......I walked right in to that one. I tip my hat to you sir.0 -
It has recently come to my attention that I need to:
Post more about my daily life
Post less about my daily life
Be less critical about my friends' eating and exercise
Be more critical about my friends' eating and exercise
Not be afraid to ask questions before doing something stupid
Not ask any questions on the forum because I will look stupid
Drink more water
Eat my exercise calories
Don't eat my exercise calories
Eat my exercise calories or I will go into starvation mode and die
The first rule of starvation mode is NEVER TALK ABOUT STARVATION MODE

The idea that it's a problem that we don't all agree with each other or share the same tastes.0

Trying to plan a nice pasta dish for this weekend with a picky bf. Preferably something we can drink with a glass of wine and have fun making together. It doesn't have to be super low-calorie but nothing over the top fattening either. We don't wanna do plain spaghetti. He's a bit picky: no pork, no 'weird' veggies and no alfredo sauce. I could eat anything
Any ideas? I've looked lots of places but can't seem to find anything that catches my eye.
:grumble: This was just posted !
:noway: Give me a recipe but here are all the restrictions.0 -

-Hi! I'm eating 200 calories a day and taking unnamed Mexican weightloss pills I get in a brown paper baggie, what do you think?
-That sounds very dangerous.
-PEOPLE HERE NEED TO LEARN TO BE MORE SUPPORTIVE! IF YOU DON'T HAVE SOMETHING NICE TO SAY DON'T SAY ANYTHING!!
yep. basically this.

Disclaimer: Please don't give me the power to offend you.
- People that post "How come I'm not losing weight," And then confess to eating fewer than 1,200 calories a day making the claim that they're not hungry. I never really believe them....they got fat eating more than 1,200 calories a day and now that they want to lose it, they aren't hungry?!? I don't buy it.
- When people say that muscle weighs more than fat. Yes, muscle is more dense, but a pound of fat = a pound of muscle. One just has more volume, but it's still a distinction that grates on me.
- Seeing "Women Only" or "Men Only" in topic titles. It's like putting a 'wet paint' sign on the park bench. You just know somebody is going to come up and check whether the paint is dry or not. Same deal: reverse psychology works, and you should just know that the moment you put one or the other in the title, the opposite sex is going to come walking in.
- When people only post 'wtg' or 'good job' or something light on my recent loss or workout. This is kind of a two edged sword though, because while I appreciate the support, I find myself wanting something more substantial than a 'wtg.'
I've got more, but that's enough for now.0 -

No messages or public profile on friend requests. GRR. That's like someone covering your eyes and saying "Wanna be friends?" Uhhhh....?0

"I lost 50 lbs in 2 weeks on the HCG diet!"
"OMG I ate a cookie! I feel soooo bad!"
"Why are we talking about this on a FITNESS site?" (In a topic under "Chit-chat, fun, and games")
"I can't lift weights because I'm a girl and don't want to get bulky"
These.
...and any posts with women *****ing and panicked about TOM weight.0 -
When people don't know the difference between sushi and sashimi.0
-
People that clutter up the news feed with facebook/twitter type babble making SUPPORTING my MFP friends that much harder as I have to weed through all the blah-de-blah-blah to get to the food and exercise posts!
Edited to add - yes sometimes I babble about something but not 10 times a day
Agreed! An occasional babble about how your day has been and how it's affecting your mood/energy towards working out...cool...but a constant/all-day babbling gets annoying.0 -
i really want to 'loose' weight so my pants look more 'lose'. UGH!0
-
Mine is how many people say they wanna "loose" weight instead of "lose" weight. I know misspellings are all over the Internet (their/they're/there, your/you're, etc.), but this one is rampant on MFP. And when you're a proud member of the Spelling Police, it really stands out.
YES. I'm an editor at a local newspaper and it kills me every time...0 -
Starvation Mode. The hundreds and hundreds of posts I see telling people they'll go into "starvation mode" and gain weight if they don't do this, eat that or the other thing. It feels like every single person on this site buys into it and for the life of me I can't figure out why anyone would. It's like the twilight zone or something. lol0

Let us practice philanthropy.
I don't understand why people don't use the search box before they add a food to the database. Why are there nine versions of the exact same container of Dannon Oikos Fruit on the Bottom Strawberry Greek Yogurt? Don't people realize that we have things to do besides hunt through 25 duplicates (like patrol the Message Boards for misspellings)? Loosers.
Oh, and I can't stand sarcastic users. Get a hobby. I'd recommend running five steps in place while walking the cat and itching your butt (for an additional burn . . . every calorie counts) and then logging it. Follow that up with a double hot fudge sundae because you will have worked out. But be sure to have a Diet Coke (on a diet) if you plan on having a beverage.0 -
