I'm not going to dignify this ridiculous snide response with a response, so I'll just leave this here.

Honestly, this is a way better fight than the other one that's going on.

It can't be that baffling why it was "woo'd," can it? C'mon, Jof, you're not exactly new around here.

Or, you know, you could actually read the thread before you follow after Leroy Jenkins. It's crazy to think that, in 50-some pages of debate, maybe your assertions have been covered already, and you might benefit from the knowledge that actually reading through the thread would give you before you post. Wait ... Isn't that…

Thank you! You are the Queen of Kindness and Goodness!

... Wat. Where can I find this delight? Did you make it? Can I have the recipe? I have so many questions.

Probably the easiest way to understand the OP is to read it. Helpfully, it's the very first post on the very first page.

Same here. I was so frustrated by all of the people who insisted that certain foods were basically, literally Hitler and other foods were the stuff of Angels' wings. And, of course, they insisted the only way to lose weight was to avoid the Hitler foods and eat only the sad, boring Angel-wing foods. What a disordered way…

Girl, absolutely yes. I met my husband on an online dating site. He had his height on his profile (5'8"), and I asked him about it on our first date because it seemed odd to me. Apparently... a lot of guys who are shorter than 5'8" will say they're that height because it's little less deceptive than saying they're 6'--when…

Try the missed connections. Always delivers the lulz. Nine times out of ten, it's someone posting about having a connection with a retail/food service employee. "To the Tracy who works at BestBuy, I loved talking with you about third generation glib-globs. I think we really have a connection, but I was too shy to ask you…

If you had bothered to read the thread in its entirety... you would realize that you have nothing productive to contribute to the conversation as these points have largely all been addressed already. Thanks for your, um, help, though

I think we can all agree--you can't triple stamp a double stamp (Lloyd!).

Interesting combination of: &

It's true. Women can tell when men are having a good time together without any female interference. So they show up and wreck the fun, as per usual.

Reminds me of "If you can't handle me at my worst, then you don't deserve me at my best!" Ok, well, when do we get around to your "best" because most of the chicks who use this phrase are in "worst" mode forevar.

I hate it so much. I only ever saw it abundantly on other women's profiles, interestingly. Also in abundance on women's profiles (around here), "I love spending time outdoors! Camping, hunting, fishing, etc!" I mean, maybe they really do love those things... Or maybe those are major extracurricular activities of most men…

"I love to laugh!" No *kitten*--who the hell doesn't? Also, I don't mind that the bulk of men (in my area, specifically) put a picture of them holding a fish or buck or other wild game as their main profile picture. I didn't realize why this was so prevalent until I realized... probably that's the only picture they have of…

How many calories are in information that's been fed to you like a baby bird, do you think?

Because PCOS is a metabolic disorder that has a huge effect on both sides of the CICO balancing act... Honestly, it's like you're being deliberately dishonest and obtuse in this debate. Whatever happened to debating in good faith?

Usually the instructions for this sort of thing includes an inventory list. ... Just sayin'. So presumably, if you're missing a piece, you would know if you read the instructions. I cannot believe how patient some of the other people in this forum are.

Show me on the doll where the MFP forums touched you. But seriously, can you link me to an example of these things happening?

You specifically came into the debate section of the forums and posted in a thread in which debating is encouraged... And because people don't fall into lockstep with your ideas, suddenly everyone is unsupportive. ... What?

Pics or it didn't happen. This is internet rule #1. Know it. Live it.

That will happen as people realize their arguments are poor and they begin grasping at straws. It's very telling that they make an analogy that they think supports their argument... and then everyone tears it apart (as they should because, like you said, they're terrible analogies). It's like they think if they just…

Uh. Other mechanisms being at work that alters the CI or the CO side of CICO does not negate CICO. It just changes the values of the CI or the CO... So CICO is still very much at play.

Do not use volumetric measurements. Use scale measurements in grams only. Yes, specifically measuring in grams matters. There's a big difference between a scant tablespoon and a heaping tablespoon. If you are using a scale and accurately measuring, it should not matter. However, since you are having problems, it seems…

Come into a debate thread, drop some knowledge folks find contentious, and people suddenly think it's OK to debate your points. Weird. Who ever would have thought?

Honestly, I'm not really sure how to help you if you're not logging because we have no way of really knowing how much you are or aren't eating. Probably you're eating too much to lose weight because that's how it must be if you're not losing weight--barring having some undiagnosed medical condition that would cause this. I…
