"First of all, congrats on the baby!!! Secondly, I was reading your post...I'm 5'3 and weigh 131. I've been losing weight on the Advocare diet. I saw your post that you want to lose weight...have you heard of Advocare? It's a health and wellness company and they're known for their 24 day challenge and helping people earn extra money. I lost about 14 pounds on the challenge and I'm currently a distributor because I know the products work. Plus, I feel better than I have in a long time...I have more energy. If you want more information on weight loss or earning extra money, I will be glad to email the link. "

My response:
Thank you. That being said; you are on a weight loss site, everyone wants to lose weight. I am currently down almost 30lbs in 2 months, what makes you think a diet I need to pay for will help? This site is for people making life changes to their eating and exercise routines not for gimmicky fads(weather they "work" or not.) I hope you don't intend on exploiting the desperation of the people here to really get in shape on this site. Please advertise somewhere else.

Too harsh or do you agree? I'm not posting the name, but at least this person took the effort to personalize the opening sentence.


Update: she was very nice in her reply, " I will not exploit again", great attitude, imo wrong site.

    Your response was definitely not too harsh! Members are not supposed to be using this site to sell products. I would report them!

    Not too harsh. Personally, if they were sending me this BS in a private message, I would have torn them a new A-hole. I'm not very good at "holding back".

    You should report this person for violating the terms of the site, as has been mentioned, because they aren't supposed to be shilling in the forums OR in private messages.

    Your response wasn't harsh at all and I love what you said. And what the others have said - you can't advertise on here. I'd report them...especially because you probably aren't the only one they messaged or will end up messaging.

    I wonder if this is the same person that others have complained about? Was she recently trying to start a pregnancy group?
    Report her.

    I don't recall if whether there is a Report button on emails. But you can always PM a moderator. Then I would edit your post, as reposting PMs on the forums is also reportable.
