In an effort to keep from pestering folks with weight-management issues, I'm going to create a new distribution list.

---

I find most talk about weight management to be uncomfortably nestled somewhere between Too Much Information and open pleas for attention. Adding to my negative impression is Zimmerman's Law: nobody notices unless things go wrong. In this case, the more people talk about weightloss issues it usually means they're not having a very successful time of it.

Still, one of the best uses of a personal journal is to chronicle milestones and challenges of such a personal undertaking, and I plan to do that. I don't mind sharing the experience with my friends, but I want to make sure it's just the ones who really want to read it.

To this end, I'm going to make a custom sub-group of friends, and lock my future weight-loss postings to it. If you'd like to be added, please, contact me! Either reply here in the journal or email me direclty, no problem. If you're not already on my friends list I will gladly add you, and if you don't have an LJ account (strong hints at my parents who I know usually read this), I will give you a join-code so you can. Heck, I have 10 to give out anyway...

You'll know if you're on the list because the post right after this one will be locked to it. If you're coming along this post sometime in the far future and want to see the weight-loss entries, just let me know. If, within a year, I succeed with what I hope to do I'll unlock them in bulk. Well, here goes. :)

As someone who recently lost a lot of weight and is struggling daily to keep it off, I'd like to be included if possible. I'd like to lend you support and also read about how you're doing and what methods you're using. :)

Yes please!

As someone who is still struggling with 'post partum pudge', your research, victories, and information are very interesting to me! Count me in!

[shatterstripes.livejournal.com]

I must confess to a morbid curiosity.

[tugrik.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but is this the 'I want to see what's involved with weightloss' morbid curiosity, or is this the 'want to peek in on a very freaky life' type of curiosity?

You didn't actually ask if you wanted to be included or not, y'see. :)

[calicopaisley.livejournal.com]

Word. I'm there.

[badjahsensei.livejournal.com]

Put me on. I'm at a bit of a crossroads myself......

Always interested in hearing about what does or does not work for others as long as it isn't a drama hook - and with you it would be more of a chronicle of an experiment.

[shatterstripes.livejournal.com]

*grin* Yes, please include me. I am curious.

[shadowolf.livejournal.com]

<AOL>Me Too!</AOL>

[scyllacat.livejournal.com]

you know I try to support you, and I would like to be part of the list, if you let me, as an opportunity to continue to do so.

Please add me

[amilori.livejournal.com]

If for no other reason than that your journal postings have always been well thought-out and well written, I'd like to continue to hear about the weight loss work-in-progress.

add me too please :)

[cenedra.livejournal.com]

thank you

[traveller-blues.livejournal.com]

Not that I need to lose weight (at the present), but you know I'm always interested in listening to you when I can listen. Journals have that aspect -- being able to catch up on people's lives (and the important things in them) at the best time that's convenient (or sometimes least inconvenient).
