Make X Fat!

OK, my email support group has decided to donate all of the pounds we're losing to Britney Spears and make her really fat. So, this leads me to two questions:

1) If you could give all of the weight you're losing through SBD to one person, who would it be? It can be a celebrity, that skinny b**** in the office that you can't stand, your MIL, whoever :-)

2) How much weight have you lost so far to donate to this person? Add it to the post before yours, and we'll tabulate the Make X Fat! results as we go :-)

I'll begin...

1) I'll stick with Britney, although Sarah Michelle Gellar is a close second.

2) My official total of weight lost is ten pounds, so X's total weight is:

10 pounds

Feel free to post more than once as you keep losing pounds, just add the new loss into the total on its own.

Have fun!

You guys are terrible! haha!

Ok I feel horrible saying this, but I'm donating my 28 pounds to Debra Messner of Will and Grace. I know that she's pregnant now, so she'll need a little extra to help cushion the baby it doesn't poke its eyes out on her pelvis.

Ria,


I agree with you about not poking fun at people for their weight, whether they are considered skinny, fat or otherwise by the general public. That is why I donated my toxic environmental waist to the city dump, where it'll just melt away. And Shan, I understand you meant no harm and are trying to find a creative way to add up the pounds lost by this board thus far. That is done on other boards and even posted on the diet and fitness page from time to time. Perhaps this thread should be

I am feeling a lot of negativity lately. Catherine, I understand you want the CL position, but you are not there yet. Please, for my sake and others who remain silent, stop moderating everyone's post that are swimming away from the norm. JMHO.

I deliberately made the subject of this thread "X" so that people could fill that in with whatever was in their mind. As I've said, filling that in with a specific person's name was intended to be tongue in cheek. Personally, I like Catherine's idea of donating the extra poundage to the dump. If someone else would like to start a new thread along the same lines with a different idea, they are absolutely welcome to do so (the original idea came from someone in my email support group, I just decided to expand it and share it with the board). For my part, I'll amend question one to read:

1) X is whatever comes out of your imagination...if you'd like to imagine X as a single person, or imagine the pounds of stored energy we're shedding as the solution to the world's fossil fuel crisis, go ahead. ALL ideas and visualizations are welcome in this thread, try to be as creative as possible.

I'm choosing not to remove the suggestion that people visualize a single person as the recipient of all of our bounty (booty? :-) ) altogether because while I understand the argument of the other side, I reserve the right to respectfully disagree. As I've said, other suggestions for X are totally welcome in this thread...and if someone else started a new thread with a new X theme, I'll happily contribute :-) In fact, I'm claiming the "stored energy as the solution to the fossil fuel crisis" as my alternative donation plan.

:-)

I like your idea of the X...thanks for the post, Shan! I also like the fossil fuel comment. Now, all we need is a good marketing rep and some funds to get the

Could you imagine the fuel source we would have if we donated our extra pounds for fuel instead of going though the middle east!!!!

WOW... I have a crazy imagination and it is working over time right now!

Great idea Shandc!

Hehehe, all of our treadmills and elliptical trainers could feed power back INTO the system instead of being run by electricity. We'd be like those glowing people in the Gatorade commercials, all hooked up to stuff and donating our extra energy cells...no more oil spills, no more air pollution..<>

Ooooh, I didn't even think of the Matrix. Yikes! OK, scratch that, let's try this one:

Weight which is ready to come off reports directly to a reservoir in the base of the scale at weigh-in time. When full, the contents can be brought to your local recycling center.

Better?
