When Was Your "First Visit" to MFP?
Click on your profile when you post a comment, it'll tell you the date of your "first visit" to the MFP site. Mine is August 2008. Anybody else been here longer? Cheers, Aaron

Who is this guy?!?
This is my favorite GIF, ever. I mean, the look on this guy's face is priceless. But does anyone know who he is? Let me know if you do! Thanks, Aaron

I'm so sick of these ads!
How many times have you seen ads like this on MFP and elsewhere, promising to give you the "magic bullet" for weight loss? Or my other favorite, "lose weight by following this one weird old trick." Ugh. :grumble:

Are the last 10 lbs. really "harder"?
I've heard a lot of people say that it's "so hard to lose that last 10 lbs." And when people say that they really mean, "as I approached the goal weight that I set for myself, I had trouble losing the last 10 lbs." As I'm now approach my own goal, I started thinking about that statement. I mean, can it really be…

Nutella Gets Spanked in Class-Action Suit
Well, you could see this one coming a mile away. Someone sued the company that makes Nutella, claiming that the company's advertising misled her into thinking the stuff was "healthy." Really? :noway: Anyway, the company just settled the case for $3.5 million. You can read about it here:…

YOLO!!!
OK, we all know how stupid it is when people post things on the Internet regarding seemingly banal, routine life events and type "YOLO!" ("you only live once") after it. It's stupid. But it got me thinking: have you ever done anything and thought, "hey, why not, you only live once"? In other words, have you ever had a real…

Most "Seniority" on MFP
I've noticed that most of the people who post on the forums joined this year, last year, or possibly in 2010. I joined in August 2008 (but only recently started using the forums). Have you been here longer?

I've never seen these movies!
The whole Hunger Games phenomenon has reminded me that I have a long-running "streak" of sorts: I have avoided all of the top-grossing movies of the past 20+ years. Here's a list of movies that I HAVEN'T seen and have no intention of seeing: The Hunger Games Any of the Twilight movies Any of the Harry Potter movies Avatar…

People who take pictures of their food...
Do you have any friends on Facebook or other sites who are always posting pictures of their food? What they ate yesterday, what they're about to eat, etc.? I don't get it. Why do people do this?

Any BASEBALL fans here?
I'm sooooooo glad that baseball's back. My NL West Champion Diamondbacks open their season at home tomorrow against the SF Giants. Go D-Backs! ^^^ The image-width limitation on this site is ridiculous. ^^^

My first NSV!
This morning after I got dressed, it felt like my pants were a little tight around the waist. Not uncomfortable, mind you, but just a tiny bit more snug than usual. I decided not to freak out about it. After all, I had a big Easter dinner yesterday, and maybe that's why I was feeling that way. But later in the day, I…

Gaining 30 lbs. -- it's easier than you think!
I just did a little math in order to figure out how I gained 30 lbs. over the last three years. What I found out was pretty shocking. I wasn't really overeating by much. Yet, that incremental overeating was enough to produce a steady weight gain over that three-year period. Let me explain. If a lb. of fat is equal to 3,500…

An ACCURATE caloric-needs calculator?
Hi there, I've recently embarked on a weight-loss program. One of the first and most obvious steps (for me, anyway) is to calculate my daily caloric needs so that I can see what kind of calorie deficit I need to establish in order to lose weight. But I've found that different caloric-needs calculators give very different…
