Saying nothing, not doing much is abit difficult

[salsabike]

I’m going to pull it back to serious for a minute, because my experience here is that disagreements are often quickly suppressed here by topic change or levity. I always think that’s a bit of a diss for the people who raised serious concerns. I agreed with Oak, PamNY, Blueberry, Muirenn, etc. If you post an implied criticism of a friend’s weight on a public forum where fitness is a focus, you can probably anticipate there will be some pushback.

To answer shootingstar’s question of what would you say when an overweight friend mentions detox diets: I would say, “Let me know how it works if you try it” and leave it there. If she wants or needs your help, she will ask for it.

I think I'll go look at the piano tuners' forum.

PS And by "my experience here", I meant TE occasionally over time--not this thread.
