Just spotted weightlossforgood.co.uk at the bottom of the forum!!!
SP can you shed any light on this, seems like an odd thing to stick on the botoom of a surfing website or are they Shhh, yours/our sponsers?

Not so sure about their 'are you overweight?' calculator?

If I put in my weight, it tells me to lose 5 pounds.... if I knock off 100lbs, it tells me to lose 21lbs! If I add 500lbs to my weight, it says I have minus 60lbs to lose (gain?) :?

Im just off to eat 100lb of lard so that I have some weight to gain.... :shock:

G' ... if the numbers look good then go for it man .. theres a lot of US spider bot spam mail hitting the UK at the mo as im sure we're all aware !! ( fleshin block my email server every morning !) .. so wether its your personal thing or not mate, the weight loss game is in a lot of peeps heads ..wether they want it there or not ! .. so why not have a look at earning off the back of the weight loss tsunami that seems to have hit the global cyber shore :wink: 8)

have a look mate , could be an earner big short term or have legs in it for the long term if all works out well . The same as everything bro ..its all a gamble and i'd like to say you've got it right so far man , obviously made the right choices with this site :D

cant see how youll make much money off "weight loss for good", i thought the whole basis of the dieting industry was making sure people lost loads of weight straight away then put it all back on so they have to and buy another diet book? if they lose weight for good then your not gonna get any repeat business :lol:

:lol:
Fortunately there are so many people 'larger' than they would like that there will be plenty of business. The problem is that most people do not want to eat healthily and exercise to lose weight - they want a quick fix no effort solution (which is how they got in their situation in the first place)
