Here’s the scenario: You want to lose weight so you can get a new job but you can’t seem to follow through with tips you’ve been reading. Sure there are laws that say employers can’t discriminate on the basis of weight. But be real. If you compete against 100 or more others you know the overweight persons have the least chance to catch the brass ring. You’re not alone. It just feels that way to you.

But while you’re looking for a new beginning how about helping yourself while you help others to get into better shape, weight wise. After all, if a bunch of reasonably intelligent people who need to become losers (of weight) put their minds together they will achieve success. But to do so they will need a leader, an organizer and a facilitator. And all of these rolled up in one person can be you.

We are looking for a few good men and women to become leaders, organizers and facilitators of our now forming, Brown Bag Diet Club. These new leaders must be at least 20 pounds overweight.

Overweight? Yes. I don’t know about you but I’m sick of watching and listening to skinny models or athletic body builders preach about weight loss. I want a leader who is believable because he or she is going through the same process that I am when I am in the process of losing weight.

Questions & Answers

What makes the Brown Bag Diet Club unique?

The Brown Bag Diet Club will meet once a week to utilize a weekly motivational diet theme derived from material in my book, “The Brown Bag Diet- tips & Clues for dieters from the pharmacist’s notebook”. After the weekly weigh-in, the motivational tips, called “Watchword/Slogans”, will be discussed. Members of the club will be able to use this theme for at least the next week to keep them on track with their diet program.

What will the leader be expected to do?

The leader will recruit members, host the meetings and facilitate the group discussion.

How will I learn the material in order to facilitate the group discussion of the week?

If you are chosen as the leader/facilitator you will receive a weekly email. This will contain a discussion of the watchword/slogan for the week. Some of the most significant points will be summarized for you to print and distribute to the group. Individual members can keep these summaries handy to refer to like flash cards in order to maintain their weight loss program.

What other materials are available from the headquarters of Brown Bag Diet Club?

Leaders will receive links to non-commercial web sites that will be also helpful. These links can be passed out to the group in the course of the weekly discussion.

How much can I earn by participating as a leader in this club?

If you are chosen you will collect a modest fee of $5.00 per week from each participating member. A portion of that fee, approximately $1.50 per member, will be sent to Brown Bag Diet Club headquarters. The rest is yours. Each week you will report the number of members who attended to Club headquarters.

Since we expect each branch of our club to start out with small groups, possibly 4 to 10 members, it wouldn’t be practical to rent space for the weekly meetings. Therefore each leader must have adequate space in their home to accommodate a meeting of this size and must agree to host these meetings.

Will I have any start-up costs?

Yes, a very modest of $150.00. This is your guarantee fee to Brown Bag Diet Club national organization that your branch is serving 10 members for the first 10 weeks. It is non-refundable even if your group does not reach the 10 member size.

If you are chosen to establish a club in your immediate area you will receive start-up documents that represent the agreement between you and The Brown Bag Diet Club national organization. Complete the forms, sign and return to Brown Bag Diet Club headquarters. You must include your start-up fee of $ 150.00.

What does the first $150.00 cover?

This represents the amount of the fee you would be responsible to forward to Club headquarters if you have an attendance of 10 members, who pay you $5.00 each week, for a period of 10 weeks. You will be obligated to send $150.00 at the beginning of each 10 week period, whether you have 10 attendees or not.

What are some of the continuing costs?

At the start of each 10 week period you are responsible for sending the 10 member group guarantee of $150.00. You will be required to report attendance weekly and if your attendance exceeds 10 members you will need to send an additional $1.50 to headquarters for each member in excess of 10. There will be some minimum costs borne by you for printing material on your home computer that will be supplied to you by email from headquarters.

How much can I earn as a leader/facilitator in the Brown Bag Diet Club?

Your earnings are dependant of the number of members who you recruit to join you in this effort to lose weight. Remember, the weekly charge to members is a modest $5.00.
You get to keep $3.50 of this charge. You are responsible to pay a guarantee of $150.00 up-front in each 10 week meeting period. This fee in non- refundable. However it is credited towards the $1.50 fee per member per week required to be sent to headquarters.

If you begin by recruiting only an average of 3 members each week the fees you collect will allow you to break even with your $150.00 up-front fee. From then on you will earn a profit of $ 35.00 per member for each 10 week period.

Note: in the chart below your up front fee of $150.00 is credited towards the amount you will need to send to headquarters.

# of ...Fees you collect Fees you earn....Fees you keep
Members.per week........per week..........per 10 weeks

4.....20.00............14.00............$-50.00
5.....25.00............17.50.............100.00
6.....30.00............21.00.............150.00
7.....35.00............24.50.............200.00
8.....40.00............28.00.............250.00
9.....45.00............31.50.............300.00
10....50.00............35.00.............350.00
12....60.00............42.00.............420.00
15....75.00............52.50.............520.00
20....100.00...........70.00.............700.00

If I become a leader and my group averages 10 members I would earn a little more than $1,000.00 for a years effort. That’s not much.

True. The charges for membership are small and the profit is likewise modest. To keep costs down all material sent to leaders will be through email. The leader is expected to print it along with supplementary material for distribution to the members of his group.
But everyone wins with this program. You get to help others lose weight while you also lose weight. The benefit to you is more than the modest profit you can earn.

Now offering FREE BBD logo licensing for food products used by dieters

The Brown Bag Diet program is a motivational one that helps dieters have the will to succeed. Since many food products are useful for dieters on their diet regimen, the Brown Bag Diet technique is helpful as an assist to use of these food products.

It's a natural marriage, says a consultant to the Brown Bag Diet program. She gave the example of a breakfast cereal as applying the BBD logo to their boxes of cereal.

Since a sensible diet begins with a proper breakfast a breakfast cereal maker would benefit by displaying the Brown Bag Diet logo on its packaging. The logo alerts potential customers that this food, when eaten in proper portions, will be a good candidate to be approved by their Dr. for dietitian for inclusion in their diet. In fact it's the Brown Bag Diet's "Seal of Approval".

BBD will offer one year free use of our logo for application to food product packaging. Use of this is contingent on being approved by the author of the BBD . For information on receiving the rights to apply the BBD logo to your food product write to: The Brown Bag Diet, c/o Erwin Posner, 28422 Tavistock Tr., Southfield, MI 480134 or send your request to:

The Bare Naked Lady Diet - works for guys too

The Naked truth that most wishful thinking dieters don't want to admit.

(Most of us believe the clothes we wear make us look thinner than we really are)

One of our readers gave me this hint. She says this helped her lose 40 pounds. It can work for you too.

Our correspondent said she was sick of not getting anywhere on her diet. She read the tips & clues in the Brown Bag Diet and they were very good. The only thing was although she kept promising herself to put them into action she never did. Worse than that, her weight just kept climbing up even as she was dreaming of losing weight.

So one day just after she had gotten dressed for work she got an inspiration. What if I took off all my clothes off and checked myself out in the mirror. Clothes have a way of hiding your flaws, she thought. If she checked her body out while she was naked she had no way to hide anything.

She returned to her bedroom, took every thread of clothes off and went to her bath room where she had a full length mirror. The next thing you know she was standing sideways, completely nude, looking at herself in that full length mirror.

I'll pinch myself here or there to see what areas I need to concentrate on for weight loss. At her weight every area had well over a inch to pinch. Her side, tummy, thighs, waist, you name it were ripe for pinching. You name it and she had extra plumpness in that spot.

All of this took place in the morning when her spirits were high. But when she saw her own bare facts in the mirror her spirits declined. However because of the inspiration on that day she determined to work on the extra flab of her waist. This was going to go starting right now.

So from that moment she began using the tips of the Brown Bag Diet and gradually lost weight. After she weighed herself each day she checked her mirror while she was still naked. Finally she got to see a really great shape staring right back at her.

That's what can happen if you face the naked truth and begin to think, I Can Do It. And she did it. You can too.

The facts in the above case history have not yet been verified, however if it worked for her it can work for you too.

New Watchword/Slogan today is VISUALIZE

Why visualize?
Because it's the method used by some of the most gifted athletes and top notched sales people to help them succeed. Visualizing is a method of preparing yourself for the task. Visualizing is a method of insuring a positive attitude. Visualizing is the first step and makes the second step easier to take.

Before running a race the champion athlete goes over the race. He can see himself getting out of the starting blocks. He can feel the pace at the first turn. He mentally knows how much energy he needs to conserve and expend for each point in the race. The athlete can visualize the win before starting the race.

So can you. Your race is different. ;You're not racing against time. You're not racing to beat anyone else. You're racing to improve yourself. By visualizing each step in your weight loss race you can anticipate your win.

Prepare yourself by visualizing what you will eat for breakfast in the morning. When your actually eat it, you'll find the exercise in visualizing made it more satisfying.

Then visualize the snack allowed by your plan if it's included in your regimen. Continue through your day with lunch and dinner meals, each time making mental pictures before you actually eat them.

Visualize getting on your scale next week and seeing that you've reached the goal you set for the week. You can get on your scale mentally and see the one or two pound difference a week has made. You know you have the power to win and you know you'll get the prize.

Even if you have a setback one week, you can visualize overcoming that. Visualize yourself back on track as your first step back. Then take the second step back to your regimen.

You can do it. You can taste success. It tastes sweet. It feels great. You love it. It's yours.

You win with a slimmer, healthier and better looking you.

Don't forget to send our link to all your friends. We can visualize our success along with yours.

My Mother made me FAT

That could be. But being fat is reversible.

First let's examine the possibilities. Of course there is genetics. Say you have similar bone structures, facial features and you even have the same walk or smile of one of your relatives. Certainly that's genetics. And you say all of these people are fat, so being fat is something I can't control.

Then there are eating habits you learned at your mother's knee or better at the kitchen table.
Have you heard these comments from your Mom?

"Have more, it's cold outside".
"Make all gone - millions are starving". (as if making all gone will stop them from starving)
"You hurt yourself? Have some cookies or other chocolate comfort food."

You know the drill. Blame your genetics. That way you can blame your mother or other relatives. Or blame your Mom for teaching you bad eating habits. The nature and nurture arguments allow you to think, "There's nothing I can do about being overweight".

Friends, that's what they thought in the old days. In the new days we know differently.
So how can you change you ask?

Get on one of the standard diet programs and stick to it. If you choose South Beach, Atkins or Weight Watchers give the program a chance to work for you.

Have you seen all the gyms around town. Get ready to sweat some of the blubber off. The people on the tread mills and bicycles aren't waiting for genetics to do their tricks. They're proactive and active is the operable word.

Caution: Before beginning an exercise program get checked out by a doctor.

Once again I say, "YOU CAN DO IT". Go to a mirror and you shout the watchword/slogan of today's post, "I CAN DO IT".

Pass the good news around so all your friends can join you by shouting
<WE CAN DO IT>.

America's Best Diet

Judging America's best diet is like judging wine. There are so many diets to choose from but which is the absolutely best one? Guess what? The answer to that question is no secret.

The absolutely best diet is ... (let's hear a drum roll)

the one that works for YOU.

Let's say you start Weight Watcher's but don't like their system. Then that's no problem. Try Pritikin. But if Pritikin is too strict for you, try Atkins. And you can go down the line.

Just give each one a proper trial. Don't go to one or two Weight Watcher meetings and expect miracles. And don't borrow the printed info from your friend who attends Weight Watchers and try to do it on your own without the meetings.

The same is true for Atkins or Ornish or South Beach or and any MAIN LINE diet program. Give them a proper trial and you will find the one that is best for you.

Remember, even if you have had prior success with one of them you may need a change to get things going for your self this time. The real secrect is to be consistent.

Refer to our earlier post on Choosing the diets to get an overview of what each requires.

You can do it. We are all doing it--- together. Also, keep in mind that we can all have the road map to successful dieting. It's just that for some of us we might need different road maps to get there.

Did this give you a boost today? If so let me know. And send our blog address to others so we can have success for the greatest number of readers possible.
