I think you all need to give yourself a mental hug, say that a weight problem is not some weakness of yours. It's OK -- you lost the genetic lottery on this one, but you won it in other ways.

What the article does not do is give a solution, so once again, I'll say people who loss 50 pounds or more and keep it off

(1) exercise 2500 calories off a week
(2) eat 35 to 55 fruit and veggies servings a week.

Yeah, I know it bites, but that this is what needs to be done, but IMHO, it's much better than being 250 pounds.

Cheers,

Beht
