Thanks for the message Leigh. I was not intending to direct any comments specifically your way. I was just making the point that it doesn't take a rocket scientist to be able to help some of the posters in this section who are asking for very basic help (like "if I eat 600 calories a day will I lose 50 lbs in a month?").
I agree that some of the responders who are offering advice really dont know their ass from their elbow LOL. And in many cases I as a nonprofessional may not have the answers either. But in a lot of cases I think I do, especially for the people who eat too little calories and/or over exercise in a desperate attempt to take off too much weight too quickly. Usually these are young people and I just get concerned about what they're doing to themselves.
I also feel sometimes the dumb or clearly wrong answers can be helpful learning tools if someone can offer a post which corrects them. That is time consuming but also a valuable lesson for the readers in what NOT to do.
I finally saw your picture Leigh and you're very pretty
