    I will be honest I come to MFP for the groups and forums. I do not log food or exercise on the site.

    Maybe you should go back to facebook....:huh:

    I will be honest I come to MFP for the groups and forums. I do not log food or exercise on the site. What I find to be disheartening is the amount of posts bi*ching about others logging things such as housework as exercise. WHY does this irritate so many people?? It doesnt affect your weight loss or even your life in general so what is the problem!!!?? Think about this a person who was say in a wheel chair 2 months ago due to weight issues, if that person got up and swept and mopped their floors you can bet your *kitten* that they have got a workout!! Stop being so negative towards your fellow MFP members!! I dont count housework as my exercise but I also DO NOT get bent out of shape because other people do. Also get over it about closed diaries!!! So people dont want to share every single aspect of their personal weight loss journey.. DEAL WITH IT.

    You use MFP for its worst feature but don't use its best features?

    I think we need to have a discussion about realistic expectations.

    I liked this one haha.

    But anyways, I understand the point of the message, but I don't see the big concern. As far as I read, negative comments and posts, as well as offensive and demotivational are not permitted, or at some degree at least. If you find something you don;t like, just report it if you think it's offensive. I think almost all responses here are from people who do not engage in such idi***c behavior such as trolling others for such things...

    No, that just makes a larger negative. Multiply them, and it's positive.

    Anti-judging is the new judging.

    Exactly.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again.. This is a public forum.. which means any kind of person can come here.. and you included OP. Your entitled to your opinion while others are entitled to theirs.. and if you don't like it, then stay off the message boards. Not every person is going to rainbows and roses and suzy sunshines.. and you can't expect them to be.

    While I don't expect rainbows, roses, or even suzy sunshines, I do expect proper apostrophe use from every person.

    Am I being unrealistic?

    Well said! I log my 'cleaning/housework' as exercise because I entered my 'lifestyle settings' as sedentary. So, anything that gets me up and moving and active I log. My washing machine is in the basement so every load of laundry is down the stairs and then back up carrying a basket and then up another flight of stairs to put away.. So... that is upping my burn.

    There are a lot of 'jealous' people on here that only feel better about themselves by tearing others down!

    I've been on MFP for a few months now. I find that people are either competitive or cooperative. The cooperative people cheer each other on, offer suggestions and seem to be mostly positive. The competitive ones tear each other down, criticize their plans of action and other negative stuff. Ideally, we would have both. Cheer each other on while driving them upward with some friendly competition. NOW we can join hands and sing Kum Ba Yah

    Forget your troubles
    Come on get happy
    You better chase all you cares away
    Shout hallelujah
    Come on get happy
    Get ready for the judgment day

    The sun is shining
    Come on get happy
    The lord is waiting to take your hand
    Shout hallelujah
    Come on get happy
    We're going to the promised land


    Sorry just had to ^.^ If you don't like something ignore it. If it's not ignorable put your opinion out there in a response. But don't sweat the small stuff, for realz. lol

    Yep. And then people complain about the complaining, and then people complain about the people complaining about the complaining, and it's all one big happyfest.

    Don't usually post - but that's funny.
  • Hey guys, I know! Let's do crap we do every day anyway and log it as "exercise" because I darn it know I earned two cupcakes for getting off my *kitten*!

    eh... Just worry about your own 'recording of intake/output' Richard Simmons.

  • I agree, so many times I log on to a site and see negative posts, it's ridiculous. I hate it - hopefully more positive posts will come our way soon.
