    A friend of mine decided to join a program to lose weight and is paying $3,000 for two years. I was also interested in losing weight but there was no way I could afford to pay that much. I decided to join MFP and I've lost more weight than her and it's cost me nothing!! I guess there's a sucker out there willing to pay for anything.

    I think I've already paid double that amount over the past 10 years - on special foods, diet fad programs, drs - heck. but there is money to be made anywhere. You just know how to market it the right way!
    Can I interest anyone in any of the following - I'll give ya'all special rates!!!
    A) some magic bras that will help you lose weight
    B) Celestial Quotient energy shoes that will increase your IQ BY ten whole points.
    C) mistical bath towels that will make your teenagers spontaneously clean their rooms?
    REMEMBER SPECIAL RATES!
