Sure Americans are overweight, but there is also a thing called too skinny... It seems these people above are trying to do it right and that is good.

I don't like buying new pants, so I try to stay in the middle somewhere.... when they get too loose, I eat a snickers, if they get too tight I eat less... but always take vitamins, one of my high school teacher/coaches got on me about that and it really is a good idea even if you are not trying to lose weight. "SEE TEACHERS!... sometimes we were listening".

Just remember, nobody wants a skinny Santa Claus and everyone wants to look like someone else.

Just be Happy ....at least we won't have to deal with Farve anymore!

Yes, some of us need to put down that fork and shovel, it is true.

I am not Doctor and you should always get some good medical advice that is not on the Television, however from what I hear that can be hard to do. I am just stating what I find to be the obvious, which can be learned in the library or school if you listen while your there.

I have seen little kids, who are not over weight, being too into the diet structures. One important thing to remember is that when you are young (pre eighteen) and female especially, you need to have fats in your diet; if you remove them you can be critical to your gender and other problems can occur from what I have heard. When you are an infant I had heard that it is certain fats that help develop your brain…… Obviously some of my generation has not had enough fat in their diets at the right age and too much at the wrong age! Please see what you (the young) can do to fix what we have messed up. Don’t worry too much on how you look as much as how you act…. and when you get happy you tend to be more active…. being more active tends to remove fat, and eventually you will add tone and muscle. If not you are probably genetically prone to being the size you are, but you would still have fun getting out if you don’t allow other peoples insecurities to affect you.

Don’t worry be happy now….. “Some good words to live by and not a bad song either.”

Inactive people usually become overweight. God didn't create our bodies to be sedentary no matter what the age. As a kid I remember playing sports & other activities for hours in the fresh air. We would have fewer worries about dieting if we just burned off more of the fats & carbs we ingest.

Yes, we need a balanced diet but add an extra portion of exercise to the menu. Strenuous exercise does wonders for your mental state & helps you relax & settle down at night to sleep.

I've been trying to muster interest in cycling in this community for several years but have had little success probably because people would rather sit in front of the tube or computer??

Sure she gets three adds, and I can't post a link about the red box. Nicely done.
