Now we have threads about how saunas burn calories, but log cleaning, even if you have done 5 hours of really heavy housework and burned way more calories an hour than you do doing zumba, and everyone laughs.
I got roundly criticized by asking for advice on how to log calories burned while moving. As in, all my crap to another apartment. So, I just said WHATEVER. I decided to pay attention to how much time I actually spent carting boxes and furniture around. After a couple of loads, I noticed it was looking like roughly 10 minutes at a time with about 2 one-way trips per hour. I decided to get REAL conservative and just log one trip per hour, or 10 minutes per hour. After 6 hours or so, I ended up with 60 minutes. When I logged it I just about choked when I saw about 500 calories come up.
Yeah, that's not significant, especially for someone who's sedentary. I mean, hell, I burn that getting out of bed in the morning. 
I am getting ready to move in September. I looked it up online and found three different of estimates on calories burned and I used the most conservative one that accounted for my current weight. I have been busting my a$$, and just over a month ago, all I did was sit behind a computer all day, then sit with the laptop or watching TV at night. So if anyone doesn't like that I counted it, it's their problem, not mine.
My MFP rule: mean people go on ignore!

Just put the word bacon in the title and they will read it
I find the overwhelming obsession with bacon one of the weirdest things about this site.
Yup. The smell of bacon makes me retch.
LOL. I love bacon but I don't talk about it on MFP like some of these people.
Yeah people act like bacon was just invented, and they think it is hilarious if the answer a question with the word bacon, and then if they use the word sammiches in the same sentence it is extra extra funny. It's like everyone is trying to be a 12 year old girl on AIM. I have to say seeing the "rate the person above you" threads are the worst though. clicked on one once, and it was the same 10 people rating each other 200 times, and the all got between 6 and 7's. Wooo so exciting lets do this everday!

Well said. Why get on a message board to not be helpful, supportive and/or informative? Some people (fortunately a minority) always seem bent on belittling and criticizing in an effort to boost their own egos and reduce their own fear of failure/lack of acceptance.

You know what I hate? When someone posts in a thread to just add 'this' and include a quote from someone who seems to know what there talking about, or at least sounds like they do. What real value does posting 'this' add to the thread in general? I'm doing a grumpy blog tonight. Why? Because I want to, that's why! Ha!

Pretty much 95% of the people on here piss me off with their stupid comments. I hate the self portraits too or the douchebags with their ab pics with their iphone in the bathroom mirror. Grow up, are you 16?

Seriously, though . . .
From a sampling perspective (I teach statistics) there are a way more people on here who have unhealthy than healthy eating and exercise habits because more people start to try to lose weight or get in shape than actually stick with it.
I am willing to bet that for every 100 people who start to use MFP, 20 last a week, 5 lasts a month, and 1 keeps going. Most activities are like that.
So you get the hard core exercise people, a group of hardcore calorie counters who may or may not have good eating habits, and a lot of people who want to change but don't stick with it or don't stick with this site because it doesn't work for them.
Plus people who want to lose, don't quit, but don't follow a consistent plan.
Net results is a lot of people asking the same questions over and over. But they still need answers.
I don't teach statistics, but out of your sample of 100 you only seem to have accounted for 26??

I have noticed lately the threads have been less about fitness/nutrition and more about politics, chick-fil-a, perverted sh!t or freaky looking animals.... what's the deal.... can we get back to the point of this site?

(oh, and I am a calorie counter w/ poorer food choices....and some people do have to eat more to lose more, I had to increase my calories from 1240 to 1480 before I finally got off my 3 month plateau, but not everyone has to eat more...depends on the person)

Well gee after 48 and 36 post respectively, you have little investment and can easily go find some other forum that would be more to liking. I can assure you, you will not be missed.

Nah bro, I'm not mad, just stating the obvious. I do not need to take pics of myself to post to total strangers on a website to feel good about myself.
I'm glad you're proud of yourself and whatnot, but stop being a little b***h and wait till you at least have some definition before posting pics of yourself acting all hard.
Now....you mad bro?
Physique call outs from someone hiding behind a picture of someone else are a sure sign of superior maturity.
