Weight Loss, the Fannish Way.

[tzikeh]

There is a new community - fandom_ww - for fans who are trying to lose weight via Weight Watchers or similar plans which advocate moderation, healthier choices, and a lack of restrictions on what kinds of food you can eat. It's a place to go where you know you've already got something in common with the members besides a desire to lose weight.

It's not open to the high-protein diet folk (Atkins and the like) because the recipes / portions are so different. But it's not a bad idea for someone to start a fannish Atkins community, either.

:off to eat an apple:

Ooh!

Thanks for posting the link. When I went on my diet a few months ago, I was looking for such a community, but all of the diet communities I found were so extreme that I didn't feel comfortable there.

Yeah - that's why I think this is such a great idea - moderation and fandom. WOOO! Not generally things you think go together, but... ;)

I already belong to a fannish community fat_fangirls which is something of the same kind. Works quite well.

That's a cool idea! I've been kicking myself recently that I need to get back on the wagon. Thanks for posting!

Such a good idea that I just did it. Thanks for the inspiration.
