thread title that looks similar to another thread title
I don't get it. All I want to do is post funny gifs and pictures, parody all the other threads, and have my group of friends tell me I'm the awesomest. Wouldn't MFP be so much more fun if we all did this? Why does everyone else have to harsh my mellow all the time?

What to do about gas?
Okay so, sorry this is kind of a TMI question. But: I have heard that certain foods-- cucumbers, as an example-- cause excess gas in the intestines. I have not really noticed this to be true, except when I eat a large salad, but that probably has more to do with the lettuce or the fact that it's food that is not very…

Book/TV/Movie suggestions
What movies or shows have you seen lately that you would recommend? I'm on the last season of Burn Notice, and after that I might start Lost? I dunno. I've gotten mixed opinions about it. I just get disappointed watching series like Heroes and Supernatural, that hook you in and are really good for the first couple seasons…

This post is tongue in cheek
You know what's funny? People using the fact that no inflection is betrayed in these words on this screen you're looking at to be able to say whatever they want and then judge you negatively no matter what your reaction. Tee hee! You can't tell me I'm mean, or insulting, or disagree with me or any of my friends, because…

Types of people you see on the MFP forums
The newbie: "How many times a day should I weigh myself? Why do I weigh more at the end of the day?!" "What is there to eat that's healthy besides baked chicken and veggies? I'm bored of this!!!" "What does TDEE and BMR mean? I'm so confused, help :( " "I saw this new detox diet, should I try it??" The elitist: "If you're…

For those in need of a laugh, click here
So I've heard this song on the radio and wanted to look it up, and watching the video made me crack up. It's pretty ridiculous and not at all what I was expecting. XD Enjoy! Happy weekend! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktvTqknDobU

Research model for calorie calculator?? Help!
How can one calculation website give me BMRs, TDEEs and daily calorie recommendations that are more than a thousand calories apart from each other based on a research model? Which one should I actually use? According to the Katch-McArdle and Cunningham models, I should be eating about 2k per day (a 20% TDEE deficit).…

Killing with Kindness: Take your best shot!
At me. Or someone anonymous, or a political figure, or a celebrity, or whoever you feel like. (Just not at yourself, please, because that's depressing.) Yes, I mean it. Say whatever the hell you want to. I realize that as you're reading this, you have no idea who I am and probably don't care. But that's not the point! This…

Is there such a thing as too little sodium in your diet?
I'll admit it-- unless it's something like chips or french fries (which I am trying to cut out of my diet), I hate salt. I almost never add it to anything, and certain things like alfredo sauce and canned soup often turn my stomach at how salty they are! I don't think I'll have a problem eating a low sodium diet as long as…

Power foods for when you're sick?
I don't get sick often, but when I do, I feel absolutely miserable. I can't eat dairy, I don't feel like cooking, and I fall into the trap of wanting to go out to eat because it's easier. What nutritious, simple foods (besides chicken soup :P) do you all recommend for kicking a sickness in the teeth? This is just your…

Dairy vs. Heartburn/Acid Reflux
Okay so, here's something I've been mulling over for a while-- do dairy products actually make heartburn/acid reflux worse? See here's the thing-- if I've got sour stomach, I'll eat a greek yogurt or have a glass of milk and it'll settle. However, if I eat anything involving processed cheese (macaroni and cheese out of a…

Need jogging tips! Help!
Okay, so, I realize that running/jogging isn't the best activity for those who are very overweight. I'm 255. But sometimes speedwalking just isn't enough of a burn for me-- I do *want* to run on occasion, and it gets my heart rate up so much faster and it stays up for longer. However, I know that running improperly will…

Just ballparking, I ate 4k calories today
And I need to not do that ever again, except on like... holidays and my birthday. I keep telling myself "oh, I just need to exercise and it'll be fine", but I haven't wanted to admit that my eating's gotten out of control again. My boyfriend and I both just chow through $100 worth of groceries in a week, and overdo it…

Protein bars y/n?
Okay so, first of all I'll say this: I hate, hate, HATE touching raw meat (or fish) in any form, even packaged. I am forced to do so at work (grocery store), but I avoid it like the plague. Thus, I rarely end up cooking meat, and tend to stick to lunchmeat for sandwiches or salads. However, I do eat that form of meat…

I need some accountability
Hi... so, I'm new here, and not only new to this site but new to counting calories/actual regimented dieting rather than just the generic "trying to eat healthy" and "eating in moderation". I did manage to lose a grand total of 50 pound in 2009 (from 290 to 240), with 30 of it being in one fell swoop in only about a month…

Sugar-free foods that taste good? Suggestions welcome
Hi, I am new to this site and community and have only been logging my food for a few days, but watching my totals go into the red every day on sugar, I'm realizing that my sweet tooth is much worse than I thought. I've always loved chocolate, but pretty much anything sugary will satisfy me. Ice cream, donuts, cake,…
