I think that as a community we are saying 'hell yeah' to the idea of a weight loss group/club.

I'd certainly be interested in participating and finding out what programs or plans people have found successful in their weight loss journey.

I just hope discussions won't be held at an odd time, just due to the time difference between the US & australia. the 7-9pm est timeslot seems to work well in regards to the time differences and me.

thanks for such a great idea BBW!

Well I imagine original height and weight along with the amount of weight the person wants to lose would help with that. That way if somebody considers the weight loss to be extreme it can be discussed. Hopefully in a very respectful and caring manner.

And hopefully, privately so that things that are meant in loving ways won't be overwhelming and feel like attacks.

I agree. It's very uncomfortable (to say the least) to find out after the fact that you've been contributing to someone's eating disorder by encouraging them, when in fact they were 5'9" and weighed 104 pounds. Therefore, I wanted to toss the possibility out there up front, so at least something can be done toward preventing the situation. It's impossible, of course, to be 100% sure of anything online.

I know I'm a skinnie minnie here, but I wanted to chime in anyway and say that I think this is a great idea. I think that not only will it help those who do want to lose weight motivate themselves to do so, but it will also help others who might just want to start leading a healthier lifestyle by giving them someplace to get exercise tips and healthy recipes.

This is a great idea. What better place to do this than a safe and nurturing community such as EF. Good luck with this project! I look forward to all of the successes sure to come for everyone involved.

I just got some blood work back with not so great results. My doctor gave me some really strict rules for what I can't eat. So now I'd really like to have a group, because this is going to be tough to stick to.

I second that. I think healthy eating habits is what it'd really about.

We're hammering out the final details. The club has been approved, just waiting for the first meeting to be scheduled!

This is an AWESOME IDEA!

It is easier to stick to your goals when you are held accountable and when you know others are behind you to support you and are working with you it makes it easier to stay motivated with the encouragement of others!!!!

I LOVE THIS!

YAY! I lost two pant sizes since my break-up and I hope to get down one more and into a size I haven't worn for years!

I think this is great. I think it would be awesome to also make it for healthy eating, working out, AND weight loss. I actually help moderate a website/social network for this. Let me know if you need any help!

First meeting will be on a Wednesday. It's an easy day for me. Friday's aren't out of the question, but limit me socially. It'll all be up for discussion soon! Announcement to come in a few days!

OOooooo! I didn't even see that one! I'm excited too!

Speaking of special folders, have you noticed that the CEC meetings aren't being listed under the "Community Events Committee" folder??? Also, it's become a pet peeve of mine that people who are talking about something related to their birthday post in the Birthday Club folder rather than the "Social" general folder. It's a very silly pet peeve, but I'm brave enough to admit lol.

CEC meetings are in the Community Events folder under Clubs. There's two Community Events folders.

I can understand the peeve, when you spend so much time working hard on something and people use it like an open thread folder rather than something that's designated. I had to let someone know, who started a thread in the Reviewers Spotlight folder that it will be used when it's ready to be announced. It just takes a little patience... which isn't always my strongest suit.
