Hi Roy,

Thanks for the scare tactics. Are you one of the statistics and do you wish to join us, or are you just imparting information that the majority of us are aware of?

Hi Moreless,

Thanks for your reply. Actually I was obese for last couple of years, but recently lost 52 pounds. I am absolutely aware of the difficulty one usually face due to the excess weight. So, now, I try to spread awareness (as per my knowledge) regarding this problem. I read various articles and websites, and through this platform, I would like to share those vital information (stats and facts).

Well done for losing 52lbs, Roy, do you have more to lose still?

[RoyParker in reply to moreless]

Thanks for the appreciation, I have already reached my healthy BMI and now I am focusing on building more of stamina and flexibility through running and yoga. And (needless to say) still keeping an eye on my diet.
