ho ho ho

Almost every radio station in town has a deejay who does endorsement spots for LA Weight Loss. My wife and I do the spots for Star 102.1. Each deejay has a different toll free number to announce in their commercials, making it possible to track the results by station. The phone numbers are supposed to be easy to remember. The one they assigned me is (800) 975-TRIM.

The other day one of the counselors asked me if I was giving out the right phone number. She thought I should be announcing a number that ends with SLIM, like some of the other deejays. Anyway, she told me that someone had tried calling my number and got some sort of adult phone line instead.

Naturally, I tried calling the number myself. It rang straight through to the West Knoxville location of LA Weight Loss. I guess the moral of the story is to dial carefully. With both hands.

Do you and the other DJs doing the plan engage in friendly competition to see who loses the most?

I've heard that there are deejays at other local stations who have lost over 80 pounds. That's way more than I needed to lose when I started the program. So I guess the answer to your question is no. I don't need to be thin enough to win that competition.

How thin do you need to be? :)

I hope that I will know when I get there. Fortunately I'm not in any danger of looking like Nicole Richie.
