Do the people in the diet and fitness section have a screw loose?

"I'm 5'3 and weight 110 pounds. How do I lose 15 pounds and QUICK?"

I can't even tell you how many of these I see.
I had no idea there were so many crazies in this world!


Am I the only one who's bothered by these?

Some people just hate the way they look, and I think every teenage wants to lose weight at some point in their life.

It IS the diet&fitness section though, so obviously people will be asking about diets and exercise, etc.

I usually answer them because I can remember stuff about health we learnt in school xo

I agree with you. Some of us actually need to lose the weight.

Go to the wedding section and you will see a million "why won't he marry me?" Go to the pregnancy section and there are about a billion "am I pregnant?" YA is very redundant not just the Diet & Fitness.

No, you're not the only one who's bothered. If anything, I think it reflects the general lack of health knowledge in the world today. For example, my mother insists that the wheat bread she buys which contains high fructose corn syrup is healthier than the wheat bread I buy simply because it has less calories.

We're a numbers obsessed society. I've lost 50 lbs since last September but I haven't lost one pound since the beginning of the month. If I were a typical YAnswers person, I should be freaking out right now. But I measure overall health in more ways than weight. I have lost two inches off of my waist and cut time off my 50 yard dash. Weight is not the only part of health, but it is the only part people pay attention to, so they get fixated on it.
