Friday Night Fat Club

[kimdownie]

Hey peeps,
for all of you who may be interested
after reading numerous posts from PiO members who have failed their meds, or from people concerned that they may fail their meds - due to their weight, a few of us have discussed opening a post to encourage each other to lose weight.

the idea is to have a weekly weigh in (on a friday) and give our BMI (rather than our individual weights) then at anytime during the week one of us craves something naughty we have to come on PiO and put a post on the thread probably on the CHEWING THE FAT forum(appropriate name I think).....by doing this you would either disuade yourself or some lovely peep on here will discourage you, hence not eating anything naughty and stopping those extra calories from piling on.

in addition to this we can exchange diet tips and ideas, and tell everyone how good we have been.

I know that BMI has been discredited by a lot of health proffessionals, but it seems that lots of panel doctors still use it. I used the free weightwatchers BMI calculator to find out my BMI, but I dont know if they have one available for men.

So for anyone who is interested come to FNCC on friday night and we can all discuss how to go about recording everyones details and starting the ball rolling.

Hi Kim

Maybe we can also put how much we've lost that week or month.

I know you can check your BMI but not sure how many pounds you have to lose to make a difference to your BMI, if you know what I mean.

I think congratulating others on losing, even if its only 1lb, will be encouraging for them.
I know how difficult it is just to lose 1lb, been trying for yrs lol.

Just a thought,

think this is a fab idea and i'm definitly 'in'!!!!!! will speak to you guys on friday and will have my disgraceful bmi at the ready!

[Abi&Dan]

I'm there too - definitely let myself 'go' a bit since quitting smoking (I blame the negative effect on my metabolism!) and have literally zero willpower (I know people say that's rubbish but believe me it runs in my family!) - however really worry about what other people think so the public humiliation if I have to announce a raise will hopefully do it!! :eek:

Cheers Kimmy
Think its a bit late for me after my humiliation on the scales yesterday... however I will try and join you all coz WHEN I get my visa (see positive thinking), and I finally fly to OZ I would like to fit in those blimming plane seats without the use of a family size tub of vaseline & a winch to get me out !!!!!!!!! :laugh: :laugh:

p.s. I thought BMI stood for: Bring Me Ice-cream !!!!!!!! :laugh:

Ladies as a devout weight watchers member, I will be on the look out for any good recipes I think will tickle the taste buds, especially of the pudding variety. I know how important sweet stuff is and when trying to lose weight you want it even more. I'm here to help and support, I'll pm or post - or both.

Just pm me if you want me to look for anything in particular.
