I get really good tips occasionally.

I come for the stupid ozempic threads

I too come for motivation as well as ideas to switch up my workouts. I'd love to see more threads on gaining muscle. That's my primary goal right now as I head into my older years.

Sometimes I find very useful information (e.g sifting through the noise to find the wisdom in the ind. school thread; camaraderie in the inlaw threads; useful info on child rearing; really useful info sometimes in the Real Estate and home improvement thread). Otherwise, I'm here to see the pathologies and tragedies of human life. It's like Instagram-gawking, just without pictures.

Weigh loss med posts should be banned. Those people are losers that need to learn to eat correctly, learn the correct portion sozes, work out consistently, and incorporate daily movement into their lives.

I come here to stay motivated so I keep the weight I’ve lost over the years off. I’ve definitely stopped checking the forum as often since it seems mostly centered on glp 1 discussions. It’s really gutted most of the helpful threads on actual nutrition and exercise.

I come because I try to stay healthy and slim but it's a struggle for me. I'm not really overweight (5'7 140 lbs) but struggle with eating healthy. I work out, but reluctantly. I come here to be inspired by what others are doing. The weight loss drug threads interest me. I'd love to take them short term to drop the 10 pounds I can't seem to lose, but the consensus seems to be that these drugs aren't for someone like me. But I've enjoyed learning about how they work and make people feel.

I do come here to hear about other's experiences using weight-loss drugs. I have found useful information admist the overwhelmingly negative bent.

OP here. Sorry for my grammatical errors with my original post. I suck at messaging on my phone. I need transitional glasses to see close these days

I am glad there are like-minded people on here. I appreciate all of the other fitness-related threads on here. I might do another half marathon next spring.

I thought the catty ones were the hungry moms eating 1200 calories. And yes, I also come here for entertainment only. I mostly ignore the drug related threads.

In all seriousness, I agree with you - the weight loss meds should definitely be under health care. They are absolutely not diet and exercise related.

I like watching all the catty fatties snipe at one another. Makes lining up in the elite corrals at road races that much more hilarious after I lost the weight the real way.

I come to this specific forum because I can trust that people here will be catty and awful to each other. It's like watching a Real Housewives episode. Purely entertainment.

I wish the med threads would live elsewhere. I have nothing against the people on those meds, but I come here for topics re: healthy eating and exercise not drugs. Although, yes, I know that healthy eating and exercise are supposed to be part of glp-1s. It’s just that all the med conversations get sidetracked and turn into debates and arguments.

I really wish the weight loss drug threads were in a separate forum (ie health). I come on this thread for seek advice and motivation to continue with my exercise regime. The forum also encourages me try new things such as doing a half marathon for the first time. Now there so many threads about these weight loss drugs rather than about getting your body moving and eating healthy for over all health. I am a firm believer in “you either use it or lose it.” Our bodies retain so much muscle memory if we move. If I make it to 80, I hope that I can still cruise for some action at the old age home lol
