Hello Everyone ,

We're fortunate to have one of the most interesting forums on City-Data and it usually runs itself quite smoothly without much intervention from me or the Administrators. If you haven't done so already, please be sure to read the City-Data Terms of Service . Many of your questions about appropriate posting will be answered there.

Some of the issues we've been encountering lately are:

Staying on Topic: A little off-topic here and there is fine, but let's not abandon the Original Post entirely.

Advertising: We have specific rules for advertising that you can find in the TOS. Also, please do not place advertisements for products or services as this is not allowed on this site.

Insensitive remarks: It is sad that this has to even be mentioned, but please refrain from making remarks that are hurtful , unkind or insensitive. This is a forum for people who are trying to lose weight ; it is not a place for people to make unkind remarks. People who are overweight need lots of encouragement as they are often very hard on themselves . Please offer each other kindness and support .

If you have read an especially helpful or interesting post, why not give that person a REP ? Right up at the top of each post is a place where you can do this ; you can even write the person a comment if you'd like.

If you have any questions or suggestions , please feel free to PM me and I will do my best to get back to you. I am here to support you in what I know is a very difficult course, losing weight.

Thank you all for your assistance in this forum . With all of your help, we can have a wonderful & informative forum.
