There are some woo happy and I'm sure flag happy readers here.
Maybe somebody skim read post (very skim read!! ) and thought your links were to advertising sites??
Oh no is the “Woo” bad? I thought it was like a “woohoo!!” A level greater than like. I now feel terrible for all the posts I “woo”’d!7 -

I was going to say this, use a tape measure and photos to evaluate how different clothes are fitting on you. You might see more of a difference. I may not have lost weight for 2 weeks...but I can now see an definition and my pants are not as tight. I can also go faster, longer, and have much more resistance on my workouts in the past few months too...Use different indicators of success.1 -

Woo is sort of a 'that post is nonsense' emoticon.
Is as a whole thread on it somewhere.
most confusing and misused and misundersood emoticon IMO.

Oh god what have I done! Thanks for the info so I stop seeing that as “woohoo!”3 -
I also have joint issues. I track calories, use a food scale, I eat a plant based diet. I've been on it for a month and a half and have lost about 9 pounds. I do light exercise but mostly creating a calories deficit by eat unprocessed nutrient rich foods on Dr. Greger's daily dozen check list.

Don't worry. I usually see a woo as a badge of honour. More often than not those seem to be from people who disagree with me but can't find scientifically valid arguments

If you reclick on the posts that you woo'd, the Woo will go away. You can also click on something else, like Like, and that will remove your Woo as well.1 -
I wouldn't stress too much. People tend to disregard if a post gets a few woo's as it's assumed to be either someone like yourself who misunderstood what it was for or someone getting their feelings hurt because the truth being posted goes against their incorrect beliefs.
It's when a post gets slammed with loads of woo's that the woo flag starts to take on it's intended meaning1 -
I wish I could figure out how to respond to specific posts. Thank you everyone for your input. Getting a scale. Been seeing a naturopath. He thinks I need a really good detox because of all the load in my system. Going to do that and start weighing my food. The nuts in my log are exactly to size. Trader Joe’s individually bagged. Can not control myself so I have to do that 🤪4

Forgive me for the woo.

Please talk to a real medical doctor about your need to "detox".
There is nothing in your system that will actually BENEFIT from a detox other than, perhaps, the naturopath's wallet in exchange for you fulfilling a psychological urge to see yourself accomplishing something--even if it ultimately that something has nothing to do with your end goals and even if that something ultimately proves more harmful than good!
All that a "detox" will do is play with your water weight (scale weight), and the waste in your system, while putting a load on your body for no real benefit other than what I mentioned above.
"All" you have to do to lose weight is control your food intake over a long enough time frame and keep it below your caloric expenditure. It is a simple concept that is not very easy to implement long term and consistently.
May I suggest patience, a reasonable deficit target not exceeding 20% of your total energy expenditure in a day, and weighing even your pre-packaged stuff on a SCALE. Yourself.
Over-time you will figure out which items you need to worry about weighing and which ones you don't. But when you start, it is just easier to weigh everything!
