Hello twoisenough!
BigMoFos Creed
The BigMoFos are about attitude as much as anything: some of us were cheesed off with 7 stone people posting about being bloaters, and whingeing because they needed to lose 4lb and how hard it was. We just wanted a place where people understood how large people feel, and where we could feel supported in a way that those 7 stone people couldn't manage to support us.
We do a weigh-in on a Wednesday, but not all of us weigh in. Some just follow the thread for support, whichever you would feel more comfortable doing. It's all pretty free and easy but it seems to work. Email is [email protected] if you want to join the weigh-in, otherwise just hop along for the ride.
Our rules:
No beating yourself up (we will do that for you if necessary)
Each week is a new week and you leave last week?s problems behind
No pedantic grammar corrections (unless what you typed really doesn?t make sense) we are quite smart and will work out what you mean.
I think pretty much everyone here started off with at least 4 stone to lose in many cases very much more and I think we all have multiples of stones left to go towards our ultimate targets. Most of us aren't doing any specific 'diet', although a few are doing WW (in my case, online because I like their weight tracking thingy, and I more or less ignore the actual diet bit). We all know what we should be eating, and I think the BigMoFos help us to explore the reasons why we don't just "eat less and exercise more" and begin to change those ingrained behaviours.
