Thread Name: BS: Being overweight is a good thing.
Subject: RE: BS: Being overweight is a good thing.
Hey Wesley!!! That's GREAT news!!! I've lost 90+ pounds in the last year and a half/two years and I'm off of all kinds of meds too, including insulin or any other type of diabetic medication! I have a ways to go myself but will say that I feel a million times better than before the weight came off. I'm not aiming to be a size 4 or anything of the kind...just smaller and increasingly more healthy!
I had a dear friend diagnosed with colon cancer, she was overweight, maybe about 250ish or so and the Dr.'s told her, "Don't you dare lose any weight." I think that's because the treatments she had to go through would make her sick and lose weight...they said that the extra weight was a good thing in her case.
The song and dance changes from fad to fad anyway.....as for me, I'm eating healthy and being as active as I can with a goal of continuing to feel good and stay healthy!
