Hi,
I'm looking to lose some weight too and can't really see how people being supportive to one another is unhelpful or a scam.
Sure the people who run the circle make money but then they have come up with the idea, gone to the effort of organising it or buying a franchise and not just sat there and thought about it , whats wrong with making money for trying to help people anyway as long as you provide the service you say your going to provide, if people don't take the advice surely thats their issue and not a scam??
We all know what we should be doing but not all of us me included always have the willpower or the right inclination to do it. Its well documented that having support whether its a friend or a group helps people achieve their goals. I just wish someone would come up with the same idea for gyms as its not always possible for my friend to come to the gym at the same time as me!!New business for someone perhaps, gym buddy, matching people in the same areasor even gyms who would like to train with others??
If someone would like to support me or have me support them in losing a few pounds let me know.Maybe we could have some sort of reward or sponsorship off you guys who don't need to lose a few pounds?
Best wishes
Kim Its not the destination that matters its the journey you take to get there!! Wise saying from a Chinese Person I think.Keep on keeping on!!
