Are we heading for a Fat Future???

Did you know that a women who is 5'4 is considered overweight when she hits 145 pounds? That same woman is OBESE at 174 pounds. An interesting prediction from Johns Hopkins School of Public Health recently published an article on the obesity epidemic. This year, 28% of Americans are considered overweight, while 34% are considered OBESE. In year 2030, 37% of Americans will be considered overweight, with 53% being OBESE. That's over half of the US being too large!! That also means that over half of us will be predisposed to diabetes, heart disease, High Blood Pressure and joint pain from carrying extra weight. DO WE NEED ANOTHER REASON TO START DIETING AND EXERCISING RIGHT NOW!!!!, THIS MINUTE!!!! If you can't commit to doing something for weight loss, then lets do something to stop weight gain and prevent the onset of life threatening diseases. In 2030, our children will be adults. They will be part of that statistic. They are watching our habits. (eating and moving). Let's get them going too, to change the "shape" of the nation.
