>Americans need to get off their fat asses and MOVE!<
Weight issues are multi-pronged; it's not just lack of exercise. Interestingly enough, there's been more than one study proving that those now classified as "obese" and who exercise regularly are found just as healthy as those who are thin. I got a trainer and started hitting the gym 3-5 days a week. If I never lost any weight at all, I feel better. I'd rather feel better (and have the energy to live my daily life,) than determine my future happiness on a set of numbers on a scale.
The insurance weight tables deeming "normal" weight have also been deliberately adjusted downwards over the past several years as well.
