Discussion of topics related to weight loss.”

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...

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.

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.

PP here. Not sure how to respond to this one.

What did you hope to achieve by this post? Disagree with me if you want. Make an argument against my suggestion. That is cool.

But why the (inaccurate) insult? What was the point?

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.

Two possible benefits to what I assume (but could be wrong) is one minute of effort:

1. It stops reinforcing the assumption that diet and exercise is only relevant to weight loss
2. It clears up the correct forum for obesity medication.

This thread should have been posted in the Website Feedback forum. But, since it is here I will address it, but then lock it. This topic has come up before. As far as I'm concerned, weight loss drugs can be discussed in either this forum or the Health and Medicine forum. It's up to the poster to decide which context they prefer.

Forum descriptions can always be improved but they will probably never be perfect. Frankly, I have more important issues on my plate to which I would rather devote my energy.
