    You're not kidding, Mai. These are the greatest pictures I've ever seen for motivation (next to Sue's great fast food pics from that website).

    I think these pictures are going to be desktop wallpaper until I get my excess weight off. I mean, who knew??? I knew visceral fat was a bad thing, I just never envisioned how bad...how does a surgeon even operate easily when you've got adipose tissue all over the place? I feel very chastened and this was quite a wake up call. On that note, I'm off to my treadmill.

    I mean, at a minimum, check out how the excess weight alters bone alignment ALL OVER. Not only are the bones bearing excess weight stress, that stress is pushing down at angles not intended...wow.
