I'm starting Weight Watchers next week.

I can give you pointers, should you ever need them.

Nothing wrong with that!

I had a diet cock comment all ready, but I'm just to bored with it to make it work. good for you, chris. all the best with it.

Damn me too, did it involve spitting and calories.

Good luck buddy and good on you.

it's awesome.

just get a book on glycemic index.....

dont waste your time+money on bs processed crap from WW......

get a membership at a gym as well.....you will be better off

Good luck Chris. Self improvement is always a good thing.

I did it a few years ago, Chris, and it works. Good luck to you! I'm excited for you!

It does work. Good choice.

Thanks guys. My company has Weight Watchers come in every week to help us out. Well, you know me, I immediately brushed it off and made fun of them. But after talking to one of the reps, I decided to join in. I was just a little self-conscious about being the only guy in the meetings but there's one other guy (yeah yeah, he's gay too) so it isn't so bad. We'll see...

Listen to Timis too... do something active in conjunction with cutting down on the food intake. It will quicken the pace of your weight loss if you're working out regularly.

I've been doing it "illegally" for about four years now. I did go to a meeting with my aunt and uncle a while ago and it was... very odd.

Wait...

Are you doing Weight Watchers for the possibility of hooking up?

That is the best idea ever! I almost went to a "Friends of Bill W." meeting to try that, but I decided that they probably wouldn't be much fun.

...and, in all earnestness, best of luck. The gym membership, though - that's where you shed the pounds, and gain them back after you stop going...

my mom's on ww and has done really well - good luck

you people know nothing about gay culture.
he has to lose the weight in order to go to the gym.
you can do this, chris.

yeah man, the best of luck to you, and as other's have mentioned, get your fat ass out there and excercise too!!! now if i could only follow my own advice...(edit: stares down & shuffles feet)

*points finger*


BAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

FATTY CAN'T STOP EATING!!!!!!!

I know. I would never go to the gym looking like this. I'd never get laid again. I have to trap them before taking off my clothes. But once I got them by the balls, it's a done deal.

But seriously, yeah, gyms are only for toned sweaty bodies. I'll see the inside of a gym one day.

chris join nyhrc and then we could be gym buddies and take spinning class together oh wouldnt that be so fun you could braid my hair before we go to class.

Oh geez...don't you have your boyfriend for that. He's prettier than me.

But yeah, they came to our office last week and offered us a deal: $59 a month. But if I join a gym, it'll probably be the gym in my neigborhood.

But it'd be quite the comedy act though Katie. You and I in spinning class.

Yeah, I see WW as working for most people because it forces you into a system which is flexible, yet strict toward snacking and over-eating. Based on the people I've known who've gone, go a week and learn the system then quit if you are strong enough to not need a weekly moral support system.

i really need to start working out but 50 hour work weeks plus law school is not conducive to wanting to work out.

good luck chris.

BTW, I keed, I keed.

Chris, seriously, you don't have to go to the gym to go running. Joining WW and just a quick jog will do wonders. Even if you only run 1 mile which even at a slow pace only takes 10-12 minutes you'll be amazed at how many calories you burn and how much energy it'll give you.

Also, Yoplait Lite yogurt is the bomb as far as snacks during the day go.

The mixture of reading "Yoplait" and seeing Lil' Jon just made me laugh.
