Rep Power: 0 | | This seems a bit of a shame to me. Yes - I do have a weight loss site that I aim to make money from, but I also have a lot of experience in weight loss - both personal and helping others. So I wanted to add my experience to some of the posts here and, if it helps spread the word about my website, so much the better, but the posts are there to help.
Sorry to see that link, that could have given help also, is not acceptable. I get the SPAM problem - I'm no fan either. But how to promote a new, small business with genuine intentions if you can't ever mention it?? |

Simple enough, huh? |

Rep Power: 182 | | I think the mods will make the decision based on the site to keep it up or not.
For instance, we commonly link things like FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal
It all depends. |

Rep Power: 0 | | | I have lost 31 inches in 30 days and am thrilled about my weightloss. A friend of mine has lost more in two weeks. I am excited about my results and posted my 30 day pictures. I am not pushing a product line..just said I did a program that is working for me and have taken photos along the way...every time I do..I get deleted and some lady tells me I am spamming! I used to go to weightloss forums looking for HONEST help and to know what works for people. I am excited about my photos and this lady tells me I am spamming..don't you have to say...take this product..it really works..visit me at my website blah blah blah for it to be spamming? Alot of companies sell garbage that doesn't work. This worked for me and I am proud of my photos. Why is that spamming..seems to me people want to know what really works...seems this site just want people to wallow in being overweight and get no help here! |

Rep Power: 87 | | | you know, it raises my spamming radar when you post the exact same thread in many places stating word for word the same post every time....Do you have nothing else to offer the forum??? Yea, this product worked for you...we get the picture...now what do you want to post about?? |

Rep Power: 0 | | | !!!!!!!!!!! Wow...great words of encouragement. I am excited about my change in thirty days and you reply...yeah we get it, so what, what else and delete me? Let me tell you something. My girlfriend is almost 300lb and wanted to do something to improve herself. We went to a trainer asking for a cardio program because I love weights at the gym but needed to lose weight. My friend went one day to the session because the trainer told her she was too big and her blood pressure was too high and I watched my friend leave in tears and going to give up. When another friend mentioned a cleansing product I thought I would give it a try and when I saw results inone week it gave this friend hope. She was on it two weeks and lost 20lb and two dress sizes and I went with her to try on her wedding dress today and she was in tears cause she thought she looked beautiful! People who lose weight because they find something that works for them want to shout it from the rooftops so frankly I am ticked that someone like you says..yeah we saw your pic..so what else do you have to offer? Your support is just awesome..perhaps you should moderate something else cause frankly your attitude doesn't show that you really give a damn. |

I am not spamming! | Well actually, you showed yourself to be a spammer in your first post, where you signed up under a different screen name and asked whether anyone has heard of hypnodieting. Then you replied under this screen name a few moments later and said how you followed the book and how helpful it was. Total BS. |  | | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread | Linear Mode | |
