I enjoy scrolling through the forum because it gives me ideas and motivation. I really enjoy exercise but am less motivated to eat well!! I don’t need to lose weight but I am trying really hard to maintain my weight. A challenging battle. This site is one of the tools that helps me stay the course.
Ozempic isn’t a type of exercise or a diet. It’s a medication originally for diabetics and now for weight loss. Perhaps it would be better to address concerns in the Health and Medicine forum. |
Oh boy. This again. I’m sure the ozempic brigade will have all manner of comment, including something about jealousy and how the fat friend is now skinny and it infuriates people etc…. |
“Diet and Exercise
Discussion of topics related to weight loss.” |
Wegovy is a diet aid. It works by making it easier to eat less. |
How easy is it to be for people within the “healthy” range but on the heavier side of that range? |
Shut up. |
Months ago I suggested to Jeff that he change the description of this forum. Not only does it make it difficult to know where to post about obesity, it also makes it seems like people who are not trying to lose weight, but rather want to build muscle or cardio vascular fitness or maintain weight should not post here... |
Ozempic and it's siblings are basically the opposite of diet and exercise. I agree OP, these posts belong in the Health forum.
|
They actually are not. They are tools to assist with diet and exercise. Many people have finally had success with diet and exercise after using the tools. |
Do you really believe that somebody who wants to post about weight maintenance will think they can't post in this forum? Has somebody wanted to post about exercise and not known where to go? This seems like a fake concern. |
This illustrates the contradiction between the forum name and the description. Obesity medications are not "diet and exercise", but they certainly are a "topic related to weight loss" Conversely, several of the posts on the Diet and Exercise forum are not related to weight loss: 1. Types of workouts people like (https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1185352.page) 2. Protein shakes (https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1185801.page) 3. Kale (https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1185423.page) 4. Oats (https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1184602.page) 5. Personal trainer (https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1185575.page) 6. Gyms without towel service (https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1184793.page) |
PP here, it is certainly not a large or pressing issue of course. But it also wouldn't take a lot of time to change the description to be more accurate. |
You need a develop your troll skills more before turning them into a full time hobby. |
That's great, and they should come back to the Diet and Exercise forum to talk about those things. But questions about the medication itself - dose, obtaining a prescription, etc. do not belong in this forum. |
And once it's more precise, what would change about the forum? Nothing. I don't think you're a troll, just a rigid thinker. |
