That's wonderful  Losing weight and getting fit is more about a life style change (and hence that is why it is so difficult). 

Anyone who is successful at that deserves a lot of cheers!! :)

 

I also think, that if losing weight was easy, then it wouldn't be an issue (health or otherwise) for a lot of people. And this is coming from a person who never has had a weight issue.  I'm 5'4" and for most of my life, I've been in the 100-105 pound range.  I've also been very athletic. 

 

But I don' t think it helps matter much when someone is asking questions regarding weight (obviously, she understands there is a weight issue otherwise she wouldn't have been writing ), that "just lose a few" in capitols letters is productive response.  Especially when the other responses were productive.

 

It obviously hit a chord because there has been a lot of responses to this thread.

I've found it interesting too.
