Well, I know lots of women who all decided to go and join weight watchers together and egg one another on... so I guess it's not much of a stretch to imagine people making a competition out of it.

So if someone weighs 150lbs. and loses 15 lbs, that would mean that she lost 10% of her body weight. If someone weighs 180lbs, they would have to lose 18lbs to lose the same 10% of body fat.


That's a blunder anyways...The first person is losing 10% of body weight, while the second is losing 10% of body fat

if you dont go for a crap for a week prior to weigh in youd be sorted. theres ten pounds of shit for you to lose right away

A common occurrence among the extremely skinny anorexic folk is that you sprout more body hair than is normal. I think it's due in part to your body trying to keep itself warm, but I also think it's down to the depletion of female hormones. We all have hairy bodies, it's just that anorexics get a bit more furry than they were meant to be.

anorexia nervosa, when weight loss has become extreme, leads to the growth of lanugo hair: which is a type of body hair - a kind of fur - which the human body only grows during starvation, when fat has run out, it acts as the body's insulation.

Now theres a dinner party icebreaker.

That doesn't explain all of the fat furry people though.

Heres a picture of Karen Carpenter waiting to go on stage before one of her last ever performances. Notice she's too weak to stand.

When I get too hungry my stomach comes alive and looks for its own food. Here's me finishing a plate of findus crispy pancakes the other day.

having a weight loss competition in work????? retarded.

i remember once one of the photpgraphers in work came up to me and said point blank: "you're really fat now"

oh yeah? you know what?? FUCK YOU.

such a prick. people should endeavour to lead healthy lifestyles, that's it. at the end of the day we're all different shapes and sizes but a slong as you take care of your body, well that's all you can do really.

and i have a problem with 'weight' loss. you should be aiming at 'fat' loss - that's what you want to burn. weight loss means muscle too, you dont wanna be losing that.


what an odd thing to send around an office though.

[La La]

what's a slong?

Damian, a slong is a thong for the front bottom giving the wearer a pronounced camel toe, which is the look for Autumn 2007.

perfect. this is what i was hoping.

Me, too. Here's hoping we can influence global fashion by the power of disturbing suggestion.

What we need is a celebrity endorsement. Looks like Lil Kim is a good bet: http://www.cameltoe.org/images/LilKimToe.jpg

c'mon, it's hardly suprising that anyone who thinks this is a good idea has difficulty telling the difference between weight and fat.

i'd kill them, anyway. possibly literally, unless there was a more bureaucratic attack possible through HR.

Well, I know lots of women who all decided to go and join weight watchers together and egg one another on... so I guess it's not much of a stretch to imagine people making a competition out of it.

it's a massive leap. i think many people joining weight watchers provide support to one another, like the group's intended to do, in the same way that people might find comfort or strength in anyone else who's in a similar position - addiction, bereavement, chronic illness, even something (generally) positive like pregnancy or being a new parent. many people can be mutually supportive without it turning into a contest and can deal with occasional envy in a healthy way - i think it's preposterous to draw a connection between the two.

 

[rettucs]

what I think is hilarious is the fact that all the sponsored ads at the bottom of this page are all to do with weight loss.

and slongs

 

[Corey]

I'd win this.
