while investigating the validity of a stupid ad i see on a number of websites, i stumbled across a weight loss site with comments. i am sure you have seen the ad which claims "Cut down 9 lbs of stomach fat every 2 weeks by obeying this 1 rule" the url for the ad is fatloss4idiots.com i am not about to click it and wanted to see if there was any noise about it.

on the weight loss site 43things.com i found a comment posted that i find unnerving.

Hi everyone.

I’m looking for a ‘weight loss buddy/partner’ and if anyone is interested, please give me a buzz at angel_of_styx@hotmail.com

Some info…
Age: 16
Height: 5’4”
CW: 130 lbs
MGW1: 125 lbs
MGW2: 115 lbs
MGW3: 100 lbs
GW: 95 lbs

It’d be great if our stats and goals were compatible, but I’m open to anyone who needs support and are also willing to give support :)


if this child manages to reduce her weight to 95lbs, i pray she gets taken by a responsible adult immediately to a therapist/doctor/counselor for anorexia.

i am 5'1". when i weigh 115 lbs i am always given comments that i look skeletal. i have pics of myself at that weight. my ribs show. no one who is 5'4" should weigh 95 lbs.

this kid has some self image issues.
