We’re Cheering for These Gay Nashville Weight Watchers

bxp51970

Excuse us as we fall in love with the two-year-old Nashville Weight Watchers gay and lesbian group that’s already lost some 2,664 pounds among its 17-ish members, for an average 78-pound weight loss per person, per year. Wow. For 2010, they’re launching a new 10-week plan, and they’re looking for a dozen new members. It’s like The Biggest Loser, without the television cameras or that cuuuuute Bob Harper (and militant Jillian Michaels). New Year’s resolutions, particularly of the fitness variety, are so much easier when you work on it with others. And with continued discrimination in health care, it’s as important as ever for us LGBTs stay healthy. Good luck, Nashville, and let us know how much weight drops in the new year!

      Congrats on wanting to get healthy and all, but wtf does being gay have to do with losing weight? A gay/lesbian weight watchers club doesn’t make much sense to me.

      It’s think it’s a relevant story. It’s to bring pause and a smile to the dreary queens who frequent here bitching about how being fat is as much a choice as their being obnoxious, douche-y fairies.^^

      If you’ve never had to lose weight, lucky you! Of course a gay weight watchers group makes sense. Like minded people tend to help breed (no pun intended) success in like minded people. When our community starts to help build each other up instead of tearing each other down, then and only then will we ever achieve the EQUALITY that we are looking for…
