Jenny Craig Inc., one of the nation's leading authorities on weight management, announced today that actress Kirstie Alley is the company's "star" client for 2005. In response to recent statements that she wants to lose the very weight that prompted her new Showtime series, "Fat Actress," Jenny Craig has offered Alley and ten of her closest friends the opportunity to participate in the program. Alley is currently working with her Jenny Craig consultants to lose weight and learn how to eat and live healthier. She will star in the company's advertising campaign featuring television commercials that begin airing January 10, 2005.

You are thinking very obtusely.
There are OTHER ways to lose weight in addition to healthy eating habits. People enjoy different ways to lose weight or stay in shape. When I go to the gym I see people on treadmills, lifting weights (some just for toning), spinning, riding the bike, swimming, aerobics, yoga classes,basketball, raquetball, etc.
Beside, I don't know how motivated a fatty is going to be after you just tie some Nike's on them, point down the street and say "Run." I believe brisk walking and some aerobics might be a more sensible way to start someone off on the path to weight loss and hopefully a healthier lifestyle.
I'm only speaking for myself but running would be the last form of exercise I would do. I'm not fat either.
My 50 year old, thin and fit husband told me in 1984 that he'd start running if he ever sees a runner who's smiling...he's still waiting!
I'm happy for Kirstie. FWIW, a woman can't be fat, successful and happy in this country while paying mind to the MSM. A woman shouldn't lose weight for a man either but we all do it anyway.
Sheesh, why doesn't she just hire a nutritionalist and a trainer?
You said it right! I lost 60+ pounds by walking and watching what I ate (counted calories...what a concept, huh?). That was over 5 years ago and the plan still works! Lesson learned was you can't eat like a pig, not exercise and expect to be thin. I HATE to run...just not built for it, but I absolutely LOVE to walk. Not unusual for me to walk 5-7 miles a day when the weathers nice.
I'd rather dance :)
she got lazy...too bad
