And this lady looks like she's got about that much to lose.
Liza, as a man I feel it is my duty to not discuss a lady’s weight, especially with lady under discussion. However, I guess I started this conversation.
That said, as a middle-aged fellow, I know that most women between 35 and 60 are not stick thin and it is pointless for them to seek such a goal. Dr. Benjamin unfortunately has the genes and bone structure of many other black women, but that does not mean she is unhealthy. OK, she’d look great if she lost 20 pounds and fantastic if she lost 45 pounds, but by no means should the nation obsess with her current weight.
In fact, given how many black women are truly obese, and the fact that Michelle Obama is relatively slender, Dr. Benjamin’s weight loss program might well the inspiration needed by several million black American women who until now have given up on ever losing weight.
