Where did he say that he didn't want people to know he was an EMT?

Hi ladies! Was diagnosed about a year ago. Please feel free to add me :) There are also a few MFP groups for those diagnosed with PCOS - they are wonderful places of support.

Agreed. Besides the OP getting upset when MrM didn't jump to answer what an EMT is, everyone else was engaged in constructive conversation. Just another wonderful day here in the MFP forums.

I've got $20 and a box of cupcakes that says this isn't his last post...

Who here is trolling?

I find that you have a small minority of people who intentionally come onto the threads to insult or snipe at others. The majority of those who respond to questions, offer help, or just generally post on the forums do so with the intention of being helpful. It might not be what the OP wants to hear, and the responses might…

This is wonderful advice. Learn to cook! It's an amazing skill to have. There is a lot to learn, but don't feel overwhelmed... just take one or two techniques at a time and then branch out once you feel comfortable. The great thing about living alone is that you can adapt recipes for just you and your liking. You don't…

This sounds amazing - I'll have to try adding in the corn the next time I make this dish. Thanks so much!

Exactly.... What is the purpose of cheating on my diary? I know what I'm eating and how much of something I'm eating...not logging it isn't going to magically erase calories.

So you've cut-and-pasted this same exact thing on at least 4 threads regarding Raw Till 4... OP, what is wrong with counting calories, making sure you have the appropriate amount of macro-nutrients and tracking food via MFP? Is there a medical reason as to why you would need to eliminate foods from your diet?

You win, sir.

I love crock pot meals! Be careful as chicken has a tendency to dry out (a self-timing crockpot is a Godsend for chicken)... but a few of my favorites in no particular order: - Crock Pot Chili (cook the ground turkey/chicken/lean beef ahead of time). 1 lb cooked meat + 1 medium yellow onion (diced) + 1 medium green bell…

Oh I actually quite like "pustular". I need to use that more in my day-to-day interactions with people. Don't ask me how... probably it will be in describing my commute into work in the mornings. Or my exes. Or something.

Ugh.

Also, FWIW and because sometimes I like to be a fun sponge who is just AWESOME at parties, people who cut - generally - are not suicidal; however, suicide can be a nasty little side effect when a someone who self harms cuts too deep, etc. Now here's a gif of a basset hound to make things better:

That reference was so over my head I had to run to the Google machine to help.

If we're talking about words people don't want to use anymore for one reason or another...can we also throw the word "panties" in the ring? That word is my trigger.

Hey Princess - welcome! There are a few groups for women who suffer from PCOS. There is a ton of support here for us fabulous PCOS-ladies. I'm fortunate in that I don't have to do the low carb thing but please feel free to add me anyway.

My boyfriend and I have thought about getting one... I'm hesitant because I don't want the syrup/carbonated water combination to taste like knock-off generic brand soda. How is the taste in comparison to the brand name sodas?

Welcome back! I've found that small changes, and finding a diet that fits my calorie and macro goals while also allowing me flexibility to still enjoy some of the treats I love has helped me stick to it. It's a process - be kind to yourself along the way :)

Meh...I still drink two or three cans of Coke Zero a day. :)

So I went to actual article in the hopes of finding the actual sources the poorly written copy-and-paste article quotes; however, am unable to find any. Could you post or link to some actual scientific journal findings to back up these claims?

Please do some research before you spread misinformation. This is not true at all. OP, is there a specific reason why you say that the Diet Coke is bad for you?

I forgot about her. Awwww memories.

Oh thank God. I was hoping someone would point out how much of a quack Mercola and a couple of the other sites are. Personally, I've had periods of time where I've drank diet/zero calorie sodas and periods of time where I nixed soda all together. I didn't feel any different when I gave up drinking the diet/zero calorie…

Stop...... what!? WHAAAT?!??!?!?

Honestly, you can eat a salad that has way more calories than a piece of cheesecake. It depends on what you put on your salad, and how big or what your cheesecake it made out of. *shrug* There are a select few people on these forums that will set out to only ridicule someone. Most people who post will - when asked - offer…
