Loosen the belt buckle another notch America: Obesity rates continued their climb in 31 states last year. No state showed a decline.
Mississippi became the first state to crack the 30% barrier for adult residents considered to be obese. West Virginia and Alabama are just slightly behind, according to the Trust for America's Health, a research group that focuses on disease prevention.
Colorado continued its reign as the leanest state in the nation with an obesity rate projected at 17.6%.

Scary huh? Especially for those readers who are already obese. And we can blame our society's embrace for junk food and no exercise.
I say -- Dare to be different!
Why should we "settle" and be very unhappy with ourselves? And I absolutely understand that making a life change is NOT an easy thing to do...
But the simplest way to tackle this problem is to find a fat loss source that tells it like it is and what you can do about it yourself.
How about a book that tells you the secrets of losing fat and gaining muscles. No hype. No drugs. No herbs.
Tom Venuto wrote an e-book that tells you all about the myths and fallacies that surround fat loss. He tells you HOW to plan your meals, what to eat and how to exercise for YOUR body type.
It doesn't get any simpler than that. And you know all the information and crap out there these days from the weight loss industry DOESN'T work!!!
These guys are making out like bandits. The weight loss industry makes billions every year and yet, the adult population of most modern countries are getting fatter every year.
I say to the weight industry -- YOUR FIRED!
I strongly urge you to check out Tom's book, Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle (BFFM). You will be glad you did.

Get Don Imus Some Soap...
I have never heard Don Imus on the radio. But I did see what he had to say a few months back that caused this three ring circus...
And recently, he settled with his former employers who fired him for $20 million dollars.
Does that mean he is redeemed and was right to say what he said about the girl's Rutgers basketball team?
Yes and no.
He has the right to say whatever he wants to say because of one of our most cherished rights as an American. This doesn't excused him for being the miserable excuse of a human being. Saying obnoxious things like he did really has no place in our society.
And then he is getting sued by one of the girls on the basketball team. I don't know if she has a case -- but anything to create some anxiety on Don Imus part is all right with me!
So be careful what you say to others... it may be funny at the time to you but you might regret it. I'm sure we have all been at the recieving end of verbal insults. It isn't nice. It is rude and inconsiderate.
Be the person that is above all the crap that is spewed in our society.

Why Is Everyone Getting Fatter When On A Diet?
If you are dieting -- and it really sucks -- you should consider another approach.
What am I talking about?
I'm glad you asked. I am talking about finding out how your body works and how it processes food.
And you will be surprised, that eating veggies, grass and water is the wrong way to go.
You see, when you restrict calories, your body is way smarter than you. It tells itself, oh-oh! Bad times are a coming.
What does this mean?
Your body slows down its metabolism which is counterproductive to what you are trying to do. As a result, whenever you start your diet, you at first will lost some weight -- but it starts getting harder and harder to lose anymore.
Sounds familiar?
And that is not the worst of it. You see, when you restrict calories, the body must get some energy to support the regular body functions. Since it is in the "starvation mode," the fat that is stored in your body is left alone for future energy storage. Instead, your body metabolizes your muscles!!!
That's right! When you go on a calorie restricted diet, you actually get fatter. Less muscles and the fat is left alone.
That sucks huh? Let's find a better way so that you can eat healthier and not feel like crap all the time.

Did Tim Donaghy Ruin The NBA?
I love sports. I just love watching basketball after the football season is over. You name it. I will watch it...
High School basketball, college basketball and Professional basketball.
And then comes along Tim Donaghy, the NBA referee in the middle of the point-shaving scandal.
Really sad...
I never gamble because I've seen what it does to people at the casinos. I've seen local people get so worked up when an casino opens up near their town...
People do crazy things when they lose money. Lots of money. And then comes along Tim Donaghy.
Is he a victim?
I'm not sure. He willingly gambled and lost a lot of money. It was his responsibility and I personally think he blew it.
He got into trouble with the Mob and the next thing you know...
Tim is covering whatever his Mob bookie wants him too...
Quite frankly, I feel a little dirty...
I may not watch the NBA much this season until they fix the problem
And what is the problem? I think everyone forgot what basketball is all about. Basketball is bigger than any one star, owner, or referee. It is the spectators.
Without them, all the NBA stars who make millions would have to work 9-5 jobs -- just like the rest of us.

OMG! 75% of US Adults will be Overweight by 2015
I don't know how long this article will be posted on Fox but here is the link:
75 Percent of U.S. Adults Will Be Overweight by 2015, Study Says
I believe it is around 66% right now. That is right. 66% of U.S. adults are either overweight or obese. And it is no laughing matter...
Some of my readers will absolutely know what it costs them to be overweight. Medical problems, lack of mobility, poor performance at work due to being tired and so on...
And 41% of the U.S. adults will be obese by 2015. And that my friend is a VERY serious matter. Now we are talking about a serious threat to life...
And what is even more scary is that women and some ethnic populations tend to have a larger proportion of overweight people.
For instance, 80% of Black women over the age of 40 are overweight and 50% of those overweight Black women are obese.
And those living in the southeast -- probably deep south are more likely to be overweight than those who live elsewhere.
The article doesn't conclude WHY exactly but I suspect it is the diet. You see, I believe that our bodies were designed to be lean, mean and healthy but when we feed ourselves with foods that our bodies were not designed for -- all that calories gets saved as fat.
The greatest paradox is that foods that are tasty and plentiful to us -- is killing us by putting ourselves in great danger.
And not to mention being the most miserable experience ever visited on humans. Being humiliated that our body parts jiggle. Being envious of the people who are skinny and wear sexy clothing.
When you are ready -- I mean it. When you are ready, that is the only time you are ever going to fix the overweight problem.
So when you are just mad enough... when you are just humiliated enough... to make that MASSIVE change in your approach to diet and exercise...
ONLY then -- you will succeed. And forget about everyone else. Especially the negative vibes from the "discouragement fraternity."
When you are ready, take a look at some of the books that I have reviewed that is going to work for you because YOU decided to take responsibility and make a change in the way you look and feel about your body.
