I didn't know 5'2 435 wasn't considered fat.

Considering that's a third of what she used to weigh, I think that's great.

I don't think that any of us can understand what that woman went through. I constantly complain that I can't get off the "baby fat" I accumulated through three pregnancies, but thinking about it, I'm only 20 pounds more than I was when I got married, and I wasn't overweight then -- and had three babies since!

I think we shouldn't be making jokes about this poor woman and her family. I think this is a lesson to parents: when kids start gaining excess weight, it's time to do something -- not just healthy snacks and exercize, but maybe find out WHY your child is getting obese.

I didn't say it wasn't great. But 5'2 435 isn't a safe weight.
