From ADA"Did You Know?
Obesity is a chronic disease with a strong familial component.
Obesity increases one's risk of developing conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes (type 2), heart disease, stroke, gallbladder disease and cancer of the breast, prostate and colon.
Health insurance providers rarely pay for treatment of obesity despite its serious effects on health.
The tendency toward obesity is fostered by our environment: lack of physical activity combined with high-calorie, low-cost foods.
If maintained, even weight losses as small as 10 percent of body weight can improve one's health.
The National Institutes of Health annually spends less than 1.0 percent of its budget on obesity research.
Persons with obesity are victims of employment and other discrimination, and are penalized for their condition despite many federal and state laws and policies."

So what is the big deal and why is Heywood Jablome boring all of the faithful readers of the bicoastal boys with this crap. Many of you may have missed the changes taking place with Moveitfred. The last time Heywood visited Fred was 5 months ago. Fred was a pathetic blob of fat cells barely recognizable as a human. Fred was better suited for the circus on display next to the bearded lady and a midget. The bike is not a place for a thing of his size. Fred was no longer able to keep up with his friends while hitting the pavement. He was the anchor of the group. Racing was out of the question. Zanconato was trying to figure how to build a bike that could withstand the loads of fat ass Fred. Fred was loosing confidence with every kilogram he gained while depression was sneaking its way into his life. Sickness was a way of life. The energy level was at an all time low. Something needed to change before he was dead or divorced from his love, the bicycle.
Then one day while watching Denise Austin in the morning, he thought to himself, "self, I can do that." So there it started. Soon Fred was rising early every morning to workout with Denise and get his sweat on. Food was no longer used as a way to kill time but rather a way to fuel his machine at work. Fred cut the crap out of the diet and started eating foods that more closely followed the FDA pyramid. Soon the pounds started to come off at an alarming rate. The faster they came off, the more inspired he became.
Now Fred is almost down to his fighting weight in college. He feels good, he looks good, he is good. Hills are now his friend on the bike. He dances on the pedals as he gracefully climbs the mountains of the east while caring half the weight he once did. He is truly a changed man. This year Fred will be one bad ass MoFo on the race course. I am very proud of my pal Fred and look forward to getting my ass kicked by his new slim, mean body, if you know what I mean.
