    I can't believe Houston's not higher than 9. Damn, it's hard to drive around this place, especially down Westheimer. You can't throw a rock without hitting something absolutely delicious. I'm just thankful there's lots of organic food in the grocery stores and lots of tennis courts! :smile:

    I was in the store the other night doing some shopping. And as I looked around I realized...I was the thinnest person I had seen! That has never happened before. Probably a statistical anamoly. Not something I should be happy about, but I kind of was...if you know what I mean. But I also know what it's like to fight that battle.

    My city is #6 leanest city. Not surprised with how active everyone is around here and with so many health food stores, who needs junk.

    Wow. I have to say I was astonished that my state didn't make it into the top 10 fattest cities. But then there is New Orleans at 18. I'm still surprised that my city (Baton Rouge) is not on the list, but I guess Thank Goodness!

    I'm working on lightening it up spreading MFP to friends and family. :)

    They say that DC is #3 for leanest, yet there was something on the news the other night about how roughly 20-25% of our population is obese. That's not a pleasant thought if 25% makes us ones of the leanest. What does that mean for the fattest cities?

    I can't believe they gave Charlotte a b-. They had casting here for the Biggest Looser because of how over weight people are. I barely ever see people outside exercising and they don't have bike lanes. I was expecting it to be in the fattest 10.
