I know one thing, when i lived in FL, I wasn't overweight. But then again, I walked everywhere because I didn't have a car or a license and I also used public transportation.

Where I live now, I have no choice but to drive to get from point A to point B. The joys of small town living! LOL

I have to agree that Americans are overweight, me included, but at least I am trying to fight genetics, not overeating.

O I know I was counted in the obesity range just less than a year ago and it took me a litttle while to realize what I was doing to myself... I too live in a small town... And I live in a Southern state... People around here really don't know what it means to be healthy... They think biscuits and gravy and chicken fried steak are Godsends!!!

I hope you don't ever get to the place that you know what it is to be fat. It is not fun, but it is easy to get there. It is miserable to drag yourself around when you are fat enough to be two people. But it is even more miserable to stop eating and to wheeze through exercise. Please don't walk any steps in my shoes.

Thats one reason i TRY to feed chloe healthy food.. But am getting people who want to feed her JUNK like halloween they gave her sooo much candy i just threw it away when i got home i have the right to say what she can have.. I dont really keep sweets in my house anymore.. i only give chloe milk and juice and water no really sweet drinks and healthy meals oatmeal always gets fruits and veggis and a main course and i limit the intake so she doesnt eat tooo much.. I am trying to eat healther to for me and her so we can manage a healthy life style thats why we talk a walk everyday for a hour!! i have cut back a great deal on how much i eat.. and just wsh people woundt feed her the junk they do!!

It's certainly hard to eat healthy and keep up with life at the same time! I also have several physical conditions that limit my mobility, and the sad irony is that a couple of them would improve if I could take the weight off. I cut back on my asthma steroids since my asthma is mild, and am already losing weight. I don't recommend this -- anyone should talk to their doctor before fiddling with meds! One step at a time, one day at a time.

Yes-- There are many things that can improve or become non existant with regular exercise
