As the topic comes up all the time, usually in multiple threads at once, I would like to request a sticky thread on constipation. I gather it's a common side-effect from dieting (less moving through overall etc.), which certainly seems to be true here. I'd suggest putting it in one of the general forums rather than the Obstacles one, as it's more of a part of dieting than something which people think of as a separate medical condition. But Obstacles may work as well, you know the forum better than me!
I'm also wondering about the possibility of having subforums which are viewable to members only, possibly members who have met the minimum day/post requirement for private messaging, since people sometimes want to post about very personal topics (two domestic violence posts recently, for instance), not to mention the questionable safety of putting your weight loss photos up in a public forum. Since this is a large, thriving forum I'm guessing that you've already considered this in the past, but I thought it was worth asking anyway.
I'll look around! If not, we'll come up with something
