My new improved version of Weight Watchers...

Personally, I have never been particularly motivated by the concept of paying £5 a week to be publicly weighed by a Mercades-driving peroxide blonde lady called Pam who has clearly never been an ounce overweight in her life, who then tries to sell me overpriced, not-particularly-low-fat cookies, which frankly taste a bit poo. (If that works for you, by the way, then I'm thrilled)

So I'm thinking of starting a club where we all pay £5 a week to be weighed, and whoever has lost the most that week gets all the money.

What does eveyone think?

some WW leaders aren't at all like that.

Of course not, I bet nobody is really like that, that was just the impression I took away from by brief uncuccessfull attempt at Weight Watchers.
I really didn't mean to be rude.

I was trying to find out whether anyone else felt they needed a whole new method of motivation.

S'ok, I'm not offended.

But there may be one or two that look like that.....

I think thats an excellent idea..it would certainly motivate me to lose weight! Although I guess it would also encourage people to starve themselves in order to win the cash........

My friend and I did this although we kept our own money and used it to buy new stuff when we shrank out of our old stuff.

So many years ago and so many lbs added since then...

Great idea but people will crash diet to win the cash! Good in theory though.
