Your Weight And Your Friends

Here is a very interesting article that appeared in WIRED magazine a while back...

Interestingly, YOUR weight status is associated with…

• Your friend’s weight
• Your friend’s friend’s weight
• Your friend’s friend’s friend’s weight

We are influenced by networks (social networks). Amazingly if your friends gain weight, you’ll gain weight. And the opposite holds truetoo, if friends lose weight, we lose weight.

So…if we get one person to lose, others around them may lose – a snowball effect. If one spouse apples healthy behavior, chances are the other will too. Improving 1 person’s life should improve others connected to them.

But you should focus on helping hubs of networks lose weight. According to this researcher, we should be targeting groups for change because it is more effective than targeting individuals because you create social ties. Essentially, you are spreading weight loss like a germ ( a very powerful germ!). And that’s the benefit of weight watchers and exercising in groups like bootcamps.

So go grab a couple of buddies or girlfriends and get exercising together. I mentioned this in a previous post of how important it is to have a network around your that will support you. Now this research shows how your improvement will affect all those around you as well. The amazing snowball effect.
