I propose a fit club of sorts for us WP members.

We'd select some people here who are willing to participate who are overweight or just need to get fit (ie, get their cholesterol down or their body fat to muscle mass percentage to where it should be or whatever).

For example, I'm 6' (1.83 meters) and 300 lbs. (136.08 kg). Ideally, I should be at between 168 lbs. (76.2 kg) - 193 lbs. (87.54 kg)

71.5" and 254Lbs here. I'm already cutting calories and doing aerobics on weekdays. Similar numbers for body-mass index requirements would apply for me. My mom has diabetes so I may develop it also.

what is a fit club?

why should it be exclusive to people that are unhealthy?

i bet if you let in some people that are somewhat fit and pretty healthy you could benefit from their knowledge. hmm?

am i way off?

I'm trying to get down to 160 pounds (I'm in the 190s now).

LETS START A FIT CLUB!

what is a person looking for when they are joinging a 'fit club' besides what concerns have been stated?

health and fitness advice? motivation?

or am i way confused?

are you wanting to lose weight?

I'm built for comfort, not speed. Some men are meant to have defined bodies. Some women are meant to look like super models, who don't have much to their bodies. Some people are meant to have average builds. Others are meant to be Sids. I'm meant to be a Sid, with my soft, plush figure of roundness. :O)
