Then I got nominated to be the president of the PTA (fitness club) by several of you nice readers. Why don’t I host the bake sale and school car wash while I’m at it? Six people left comments requesting that we start some sort of online group to motivate each other. They were:</p> <p>DeeMarie, Katie, Heather, Cellobella, MrsBear, Kat and Christy</p> <p>I was sort of kidding about needing online motivation but the more I think about it, the more it sounds like a good idea. Do any of you guys REALLY want to go through with this? If so, I’ll play host to the online fit club. I’ll even come up with a clever name and posting schedule. It wouldn’t be anything too graphic, just something like coming up with your goal weight and size (realistic short term and end result), motivating the other participants and trying to stick to your goals. What do you think? Leave a comment and let me know if you’re in or not. If at least four other people want to do it, I will. And by DO IT, I mean participate in the online fitness club, not do IT. Freaks.</p> <p>Also, you naturally skinny bastards (I’m looking at you Jenbo and Krystal) can be our cheerleaders so you can play along too! Gooooooooooooooooooo teaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmm!!!!!</p>  <p>Tags: <a href="http://halfasgoodasyou.com/?tag=club-half-as-small-as-you" rel="tag">Club Half As Small As You</a> </p> <h4><p id="comments">17 Comments</p></h4>  <div id="commentblock"> <ol class="commentlist"> <li class="alt" id="comment-566"> <img alt='' src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/45011a552f75980f2090220c6dcf7e2b?s=40&d=monsterid&r=R' class='avatar avatar-40' height='40' width='40' /><h6><a href='http://outnumberedtwotoone.today.com' rel='external nofollow'>mrsbear</a></h6>on <small class="commentmetadata"><a href="#comment-566" title="">October 14th, 2008 at 9:40 pm</a> </small> <div class="commenttext"> <span class="count"> 1</span> <p>Hells to the yeah. <img src='http://halfasgoodasyou.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> <p>I’m in.
