  • I walk on the treadmill at an incline and I feel it in the rear area... I think after a while it will even out as your body lets go of other areas of fat. Great job on the weight loss! Keep it up! :flowerforyou:

  • I try not to judge people in any situation.... I don't know what their personal situation is and what is going on in their life so I hate to label them. I do get a little upset when I see adults who allow their very young children to become obese... It is up to the parents to keep them healthy and eating junk all the time…

I had my thyroid removed last year due to thyroid cancer and put on 40 pounds before my endo could…
