Weight Loss Support in the News

First, I would like to re-link to a post I wrote earlier this week that may have been buried in other posts that I think many of you buddies with pets would get a kick out of:

http://weightlossbuddy.com/blogs/weightlossbuddy/archive/2009/06/19/diets-for-the-dogs.aspx

It's about a new weight loss challenge Purina has launched for cats and dogs, who, what do ya know, are being criticized for being overweight just like us humans.

Next, I want to talk about a link I posted to WLB's Twitter, MySpace and Facebook pages, because it describes exactly what we do.

http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=111210276340&h=LdBca&u=_jnrj&ref=mf

Essentially, this article says that by gaining support, it makes it much easier to lose weight. Now, you may be thinking, "duh" but the more interesting thing about this article is that it explains why different forms of support are more effective.

For instance, it says you should not assume that your family and friends are your best support lines. Family and friends often encourage "naughty" behaviour when you're constantly surrounded by them in situations where food is near.

The article does suggest you check out weight loss groups with strangers, for example Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig, as the new friends you meet are there for the same reasons you are.

Personally,  I think meeting friends on Web sites like WLB is the way to go ;) You get to have the support you need without having to leave your own home, and without having to pay outlandish membership fees.

What do you think is the best support for you? What kinds of support do you recommend?

It's air max shoes sale never good news when your business adviser calls out of the blue and says, Wes, we need to talk.That's what happened to me one s pring morning not long after I'd arrived at my office. I own a small air max 2010 sale agency that handles speaking engagements and literary rights for Christian entertainers, authors and leaders. I started the business in my 20s and it grew to about a dozen employees, earning me womens air max 2010 enough to provide a comfortable living for my family and to send my kids to college.That year, though, the company hit a rough patch, so I'd hired a business consultant to give me some ideas nike air max 2009 for improvement. He's the one who called that April morning.Wes, he said, your company is in more trouble than you know. We need to get together. Soon.Before I could ask what was wrong nike womens air max 2010 he told me he had already been in touch with my banker and my accountant. How about we meet at your house tonight? I stammered out air max 2009 cheap an okay and spent the rest of the day in a knot.That evening, Ken, the consultant, Ed, my banker, and Tom, my CPA, sat down in air max 95 cheap my living room. Normally they were laid-back Southern guys. Tonight they looked deadly serious. Tom pulled out some spreadsheets nike womens air max 95 and other documents. Wes, he said, do you realize how deeply your company's in debt?My eyes widened. A while back I'd transferred much air max 90 of the day-to-day running of the company to two people I trusted. One was my chief operating officer. The other was Tim, my vice nike running shoes president. Tim had joined the business eight years earlier soon after graduating college. The COO had been with me 14 years. We were a team and close friends besides. Most weeks we spent nike max air far more time with each other than we did with our families.The bottom line, Wes, said Ken, is it's pretty clear these guys are taking advantage of you. We need to do some more research, but at the very black air max 90 least you're going to have to let these guys go. Legal charges may even be in order. Dami
