The Skinny Bunch

Friday, June 17, 2005
Today, I joined a weight-loss group at work. It is named "The Skinny Bunch"--a name I really don't care for as I belive it encourages "skinny-ness" over healthy living.
That said, I might like this as it is a pretty motivational group. You pay $10 to join and then have to pay $1 for each pound gained. If you have been really bad during a certain week, you can skip the weigh-in and pay $2. Nothing motivates me more than spending money on something with no return. I believe that the people with a net weight loss split all of the money. In the last session, the weight losers each won $77! I think I can get motivated with the possibility of making some dollars. And I have not had any motivation to start a weight-loss program as of yet.

We weigh in each Friday--so I'll try to keep you up-to-date.
