Social Media: Virtual Support Group?
Craig Sutton sent me an email last night, letting me know that he’s about to start a challenge and asked me to to click a link. So I clicked the link (because Craig has yet to send me an email I didn’t want to get) and saw that Craig is blogging and tweeting his process of losing 100lbs to benefit the 2nd Harvest of TriCities, Washington.
You can follow his progress on Twitter, #lose100.
That got me thinking about the various #twit2fit tweets I’ve been seeing in my twitter feed:
95 lbs lost three months later... #twit2fit
Yes, please: How to lose 95 pounds in 3 months
Another interesting tweet I saw compared #twit2fit and Weight Watchers:
Weight Watchers Opportunity?
Is Weight Watchers on Twitter? Twitter could provide another channel for Weight Watchers to connect with those who attend meetings and for the Weight Watchers community to connect with each other in between meetings. Weight Watchers hosts its community, and I hope to see @weightwatchers (or some variation thereof) developing relationships in other parts of the social web.
ps - Twitter Weight Watchers fan group is an excellent channel for a brand manager/marketer/evangelist to interact with a relevant community.

It is also great people like you who help us by boosting our self confidence (for those of us working on self esteem) by posting about your positive feelings over our endeavor!
Thanks An!

Craig, as part of your community, I support you endeavors - you bring such positive energy to the process and projects I’ve been fortunate to see you work on. Living a healthier lifestyle and committing to it publicly is a wonderful thing.
