Yes, I don't know why they keep asking -- but what's scarier is the bad advice they get, telling them to buy some supplement or go on some goofy diet or eat only lettuce or something equally unhealthy.
And then there are the ones who "need" to lose twenty pounds by Saturday...

So, I'm not the only one!! Mostly though, I am sick of people who are obviously harbouring eating disorders, asking us for validation. Like, whether we think they are fat or how they can eat even less. It's sick. It's really, really sick.
AND, it really, really astounds me how many people are sucked in by advertising, subliminal, and not so subliminal messages that urge us to believe that sickly thin is beautiful. It's ridiculous. Just love yourself people!!
If peps asking are overweight, well, that's another story. But, for the most part, I'm with you: there is NO secret to losing weight. It's a lifestyle that involves eating balanced healthy meals and exercising.
Thanx for your question. I needed that vent!!

No, I'm not. :)
I think you spend too much time in one Yahoo catagory. Change it up. I spend 99% of my time in the Women's Health catagory and I get sick of people posting things saying "Am I pregnant". I understand where you are coming from though. Its like in my situation I sit here and think... "Geeze no one on yahoo answers is going to be able to tell you if you are pregnant or not. Get your butt out to the grocery store and just buy a damn home pregnancy test!".
This is actually the first time I've been over to the deit and fitness catagory and I'd like to lose some weight myself so I'm enjoying reading the answers and replys on "How do I lose weight?".
I think it is now common knowlegde that if you eat right, porportion right and exercise you'll lose weight. Maybe these people are just looking for some motivational ideas.
=) =)

YES! There is no quick fix. Sure, you can do things to boost your metabolism, or attack those love handles, etc., but it all involves eating well and excercising!
