Please tell me if this works for you!

According to one website you need to be nagged to lose weight, and for them, if not for you, it’s good business!
All you have to do is pay them $5 a month and they will send you a stream of taunting and challenging emails urging you to get your weight off.
Messages like “Hey Chubbles,  Take care of your own beefy carcass before you eat a few pounds of something else’s” are one of the  choice options.
(I didn’t say this was a refined site!)

Maybe you, like over 1,000 people have signed up to the service since it launched in February 2008, are a willing victim and enjoy being told told to “lay off the buffet” and “face it fatty, you need someone to bug you every 15 minutes, don’t you?”
The site’s founder with the unlikely name of Talmadge Boyd says that he inspires users to lose weight with a mixture of abuse, insults and bad languaget.  Talmadge is a man who has seized on an idea inspired by his girl-friend that works with some, particularly people from UK. According to him “The service really seems to strike a chord with people in the UK – for some reason you guys seem to love insults and respond to abuse better than others.”
I can’t see Aussies enjoying the same relationship with Talmadge a Texan, while the “experts” , as usual with weight-loss have mixed views.
Professor Andrew Hill, a psychologist of the Leeds University School of Medicine, said: “I’m not too adverse to the idea, but the language is pretty offensive.”
Heather Caswell, from the British Nutrition Foundation, said: “While it sounds wacky, people have different ways of trying to lose weight; e-mail and mobiles are just another way to make them to stick at it.”
Professor Iain Broom, from the Clinical Obesity Research Centre in Aberdeen, said: “I don’t think the site is any use – this type of abuse would just make people worse and they are already vulnerable enough.”

Will the mantra “We nag, you lose” inspire YOU to lose weight?

If it does, I can almost guarantee it will be short-lived. Maintaining your weight is a life-long decision to enjoying a healthy lifestyle.

Lose your weight but keep your dignity.

By the way, look out for my comprehensive review of The Gabriel Method coming soon.

Weight Wise Man

• Weight-loss camps. Be wary! Weight-loss camps One of the most disturbing visions I have witnessed is the sight of 20 overweight individuals, with no prior preparation being forced to jog.

• Weight-loss pills may be harmful Caution! Weight-loss pills may cause you harm.

• Smiles And Laughter I was asked to smile all the time, and I couldn't figure out why. Then I finally notice that I have a natural frowning mouth. I am often told I look bored and upset even when I'm not. I seem to be scowling normally also. To know if I’m smiling......
• Find A Grave Is Making Grave Mistakes I'm completely baffled by the FindAGrave site. Last night a lady wouldn't transfer my father-in-law's memorial (he is not deceased) to me; and today I asked for a transfer of John Whitmore, my husband's GG-Grf and Medal of Honor Recipient, and was denied that too. Is there some  (monetary?) "award"......
