I still don't understand why the thread title would offend anyone who actually reads the posts within since the posts are directed towards companies scamming people with promises of fast, no-brainer weight loss. IMHO, that's "judging a book by its cover".
Anyhow, some people "won't get it", until they've had enough of the empty promises and/or they tire of the weight loss-weight gain cycle.
The weight loss statistics are stacked against us. 1 in 10 people who make goal will regain their weight within 1 year. Of those people, 2 out of 3 will regain their weight after 3 to 5 years. Granted I might be accused of being unsupportive for posting those statistics, but my intent is to have those stats serve as a wake up call for us: the weight battle isn't over when we make goal. The real battle is keeping that weight off. If we don't have the proper tools/knowledge to do that, we'll forever be suckered by every "quick and easy" diet out there and worse. I don't know about anyone else, but this weight loss stuff is a pain in the rear-end and I don't want to go through this again---ever.
This thread has more or less run its course. So, I'm locking it.
