I found this refreshingly honest. I can't say I support this level of avoidance, but I do appreciate your willingness to post your views respectfully.
-
Yep. Idiot status is all-inclusive. And 'idiot' could be substituted with a lot of other words that describe some folks.
-
THIS. I don't mind honesty, and somedays I even like a little cattiness and bickering. I LIKE opposing viewpoints and people that challenge my way of thinking. What I don't want to bother reading are the ED-without-treatment, get-thin-quick-misinformation, annoying-attention-getters, advertising-or-self-promoting-business,…

Perfect - the trolls are like target practice for new-to-ignore-users!! If folks enjoy the idiots, power to 'em. As always, I support the right of the idiots AND the idiot ignorers.

I chalk that right up there with... "Just kidding!" and "No offense!" when whatever just said was positively offensive but that post-thought comment somehow negates the original statement. It's also akin to, "Oh, my best friend is black!" (aka as "No, really, I'm not racist I'm just acting like it right now) or "I watched…

Oh oh oh!! AND --- in future forum posts, all you see is a blank line that says "you are ignoring this poster"... and then can click to un-ignore them or leave it as is. So fabulously wonderful. I'm still enjoying the spoils of this!

I'd like to gently challenge your thinking. Hate is such a strong work and ascribes such emotion and (forgive the pun) weight to actions. These actions in your past that have contributed to gaining weight DO NOT, in any way, reflect on who you are as a person or the QUALITY of your composition. We all do things that, in…

As I was beginning to log my abomination of a day, I was reflecting again on your awesomeness. What determination you showed to look those impromptu and unexpected treats in the face. Planning for them is one thing, resisting the unexpected is another. So again, kudos. I hope to absorb some of your determination this week…

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, INSPIRING, and ENCOURAGING. You are a rock star! Than you for posting!
-
You are awesome!! Good job for showing those damn brown Starbuck's pastry bags who's boss! (I wasn't as successful at this today) <<<Applauding you wildly>>> That's got to feel good!
-
What you described isn't being mean, in my opinion. I'm referring to those that snap at people just for asking a question they've heard before... or that just throw out an out of context response like "just lose more weight" without providing any helpful information... like explaining spot training isn't effective. I'm…

Just read through this thread in another few minutes - it's filling up with lots of great examples. I actually do find people behave differently online. It's rare for me to see someone shout in someone's face irl, "You're a fat, lazy, stupid pig and I know everything and you know nothing." But I've seen it here - that's…

The abilities to correct misinformation, disagree, and debate…. do not preclude the abilities to be respectful, compassionate, or kind. That’s a choice people make – or choose not to make. And to answer an earlier question of why I think ignore doesn’t work well in the forums: using the ignore feature technically works to…
-
It's sad. I do like the ignore function on my newsfeed (although I rarely use it - I just delete people), but it doesn't work as well in the forums because if you ignore, other comments are either out of context or the "quote" them anyway... so if you want to reply to a thread and read the responses, you have to try to…

9 pounds in 5 weeks? Sounds perfect to me! I know it must feel slow, but it sounds like you're doing it right. On the ankle and hip issue - keeping it at 30 minutes and SLOWLY (by slowly, I mean adding 2-5 minutes a WEEK) adding time. Consider bracing the ankle. I also find that a pre-emptive strike with ibuprofen about 60…
-
Was right, thread locked.... why bother keepin' the post? <delete delete delete> I'll just suffice it to say: Most of the replies are opinion, some are outright misinformation. Weigh (ha) carefully what you read.
-
Love it, do it regularly. But not "fasting." I use a Vitamix which pummels the entire fruit, meat, veggie skin into juice... gives more nutrients and fiber. It's NOT low calorie, but it is low fat and uberhealthy. Mix with water or juice for refreshing and lighter fare, with milk or greek yogurt for a heavier smoothie…
-
Each to their own - I say thanks to all those creative souls that make me think about trying foods differently. And while I don't agree with OP, I defend the right to post all about it. Flame on. (Preferably, on a gas grill and toasting up a cauliflower pizza crust!)

While we're at it: 4 Forum Thread Headlines that should be retired for all of 2013: 1) Men, what body type do you prefer? (aka "Curves, Muscles, or Thin?" 2) Help, my "X person" is sabotaging my diet 3) Rate the person above you (aka Hot or not, marry/one night stand/date/no) 4) I'm only eating 800 calories a day, why…

I just posted in another foum topic I've started responding to people when they ask if I'm going to lose much more weight, "We'll see what happens when I stop taking the meth." But how I respond when people ask me HOW is on my ticker, "It's this crazy fad diet pill called GET UP AND MOVE YOUR *kitten*."
-
Way TMI but keeping it very real: - I stopped pee'ing when I laughed or coughed. Used to have to wear a sanitary napkin just in case - "Things" moved and didn't line up like they used to. Yep, talking about sex. It was like learning to ride a bike again. (ha!) - I successfully got off of 6 medications to control blood…
-
"We'll see what happens when I stop taking the meth." Said with a straight face. People usually don't probe much further. And if they do, then with a smile, I typically will say, "I appreciate you noticing, I have been working hard. I plan to keep up focusing on making healthy choices." At least, that's a response I give…
-
So, I'm waiting to hear an update from the original poster... how are you doing? For the record, I had an epic fail on making smart food choices last week. Then I had an epic win when I got right back on track.

I don't believe that eating 1200 is "bad" if that's what your body requires. Eating LESS than 1200 calories can have health detriments - you may not be giving your body the fuel and nutrients it needs to stay healthy, which might be stalling your weight-loss. Consuming too few calories for a long time can force your body…

You set it up one time online. Enter you weight and a few other items. Then you wear the small device on a clip on your bra or on a wristband. It counts steps and floors climbed through an elevation tracker. It uses the steps and your weight to give you a calorie burn.
-
Check out the fitbit thread on here or search the forums for fitbit. It's basically a snazzy pedometer that also tracks your sleep quality and floors climbed. Based on your weight, it will also provide a pretty accurate calorie burn. It is NOT a heart rate monitor. I wear mine 24/7. I use the stopclock feature to track my…

Hi again, and WELCOME to MFP. :-) Your thread was fine - and you will always get lots of responses from readers. Don't sweat it. Take what's helpful and forget the rest. Hopefully you read at least one thing you use. Best to you and your goals as well. Keep up YOUR commitment to your health.

This is your husband, so I don't want to be flip or dismissive. While he is entitled to his feelings and thoughts, HOW he reacted was inappropriate. I also can't assume what you two have negotiated between the two of you - who is in charge of what chores, buying and prepping food, etc. We all have different approaches…
