I was reading an article in the NY Daily News the day before yesterday that featured a woman who weighed 180 pounds and was 5'5" and teaches an exercise class. She was in great shape! It was so inspirational to see that you can be overweight and still healthy if you just exercise regularly..
A number of Drs were quoted and said that being overweight and inactive is a greater health risk than smoking a pack of cigarettes a day!
Thats a lesson to me, first that you can be heavy and still healthy if you just put in the exercise time. Second, that being overweight is a greater health risk than just about anything else.
More power to those of us who are choosing to get healthy
