In the age of the social network, there's certainly such a thing as sharing too much. But when it comes to losing weight, sharing could be key.在网络社交时代，肯定有些东西经常被分享。但是，当提到减肥的时候，分享可能是关键。

A new Northwestern University study published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface found that those who actively engage in such online communities lost a higher percentage of their body weight compared to users who participated sparingly.

英国皇家协会界面杂志上发表了一篇西北大学的新研究，研究发现，与较少参加网络社区的人相比，活跃在网络社区的人减重比例更大。

Scientists analyzed data from people paying a membership fee on CalorieKing.com, which grants them access to weight-loss tools (like a food journal) and an online forum. While the identity of each user remained anonymous, the researchers had access to age, gender, height, initial weight and time-stamped activities. They could also monitor members' recorded weigh-ins, friend requests and community engagement, though they could not read any of the actual conversations between users.

科学家分析了来自CalorieKing.com网站上支付会员费的人们的数据，会员费赋予他们访问减肥工具（例如食品杂志）和网络论坛的权利。虽然每个用户的身份都保持匿名，但是研究人员可以获得年龄、性别、身高、最初体重和可实时追踪的活动。虽然他们不能够读取用户间的实际谈话内容，但是他们能够监测会员的体重记录，好友请求和社区参与。
