Would anybody here actually use this if it was available?

Question

If somebody started a FREE weight loss website for teenagers, where they could put up photos of themselves BEFORE and AFTER, talk via forums and chatrooms, discuss and compare diet and exercise routines, etc. would anybody here use it?

And why?

Answer 1

well, i don't need to lose weight, so i personally wouldn't use it-but it sounds like a great idea! There are so many teens these days seeking weightloss programs..it would be a great opportunity for a lot of people!

Answer 2

In theory it's a great idea.  The only problem with many fitness/weight loss sites is that they tend to be a collection of misinformation.  

The main thing that would be need is that the people running the site would have to know what they're talking about.  It wouldn't be any good to be as misguided as the people trying to get the help.

Basically you have to make sure that the information on the site is good and correct.  What many people forget before starting a site like this is that weight loss and fitness are all topics that can affect your health.  Giving the wrong information can be more dangerous than giving no information.

That being said, if you do it properly it can be a good idea.

Answer 3

Yes that sounds really good, it makes a community of people that can support each other. I would use it, but i'm not trying to loose weight I am just changing my diet for health purposes. So it would be good to discuss it and actually finding what people actually benefit from and not some crazy internet claims on a phony magic diet!
