I don't generally explain my downmods, but this one may be worthwhile: That is not a valuable addition to the conversation. Do you think there's a single reader who hasn't already heard that a hundred times? That's just flashing a social signal about how you're in the non-lazy, non-stupid "us", and aren't "them" stupid and lazy? There's quite enough of that on this topic, we don't need more.

Yup! That's right! That's why we don't tell our users HOW to lose weight, but help them set reasonable weekly goals and "punish" them if they don't stick to them.

I know how to lose weight, it's the sticking to it over a long period of time and not procrastinating that is hard. I built this for myself, and it is working great!

Punishing your clients is not a good way for they to lose weight. I propose another solution, when they stick to their goals they should receive a reward that's a better solution, try it and tell us about it. Don't downmod yourself.
