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 & AnswersWhat 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. (see previous post for chart of income and profit.
Note: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.

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.

Medical Blogs: The Good, the Bad, and the Dangerous
I have just spent an interesting hour perusing various medical blogs. I think they fall into three categories.
The first category I would like to call "propaganda blogs". These are trying to get patient referrals or sell some medically related product. One of them I felt was particularly dangerous--it featured a no-holds-barred endorsement and access to EDTA chelation therapy for vascular disease. This form of therapy is a hoax and has been totally and completely discredited. So, I would watch out for this pernicious blog.
The second species of medical blog was very personal ("social blogs"). These seemed to me to be some form of MD dating service containing personal descriptions of a variety of docs who apparently were hoping to establish contact with other docs.
The third kind of blog was the most serious. These medical blogs contained current medical news, cases for discussion, and, other medically relevant information ("professional blogs"). Some of these blogs were evidently supported by advertisements for a variety of consumer and medical products. A number of these "professional blogs" are related to professional societies and/or other journals like The American Journal of Medicine (AJM). The "professional blogs" were, I believe, seeking to inform and educate in a careful and balanced fashion. The personal or social blogs were aimed mostly at people connecting. I also observed that some of the people connecting blogs had medical and current political commentary.
My conclusion from this blog search is that each of the blogs contains different types of material appealing to doctors or other healthcare personnel at varying levels-- some educational and some social. Our own AJM blog seeks to be a professional blog allowing interested docs and other healthcare workers to discuss AJM material that has been posted on the blog, as well as related research and other articles published in the AJM, but not necessarily on the blogsite itself. I look forward to blogging and discussing AJM material, medical research, and clinical practice with anyone interested in commenting here on the AJM blog.
Regards and best wishes for a healthy, happy, and safe 2009.

Should a Hand-carried Ultrasound Machine Become Standard Equipment for Every Internist?
It has been many decades since any new piece of equipment found its way into the internist's black bag. The stethoscope, neurologic hammer, otoscope, and ophthalmoscope have been there for approximately 200 years. Recently, however, there has been a flurry of investigative work involving a new diagnostic tool with considerable potential for everyday use in internal medical practice: the portable ultrasound machine.
It is an unfortunate fact that the traditional internal medicine physical examination often overlooks or erroneously interprets findings, resulting in missed or incorrect diagnoses.
