I am fat. I'm working on not being fat, but at the moment, I'm still a solid 320 lbs. Lotek is right that they won't change until THEY WANT TO CHANGE. Just seeing testimonials won't help, I fear.

But...one thing that may help is fear. I have read a book that is a lot about losing weight, so convincing them to read may be hard. However, this book makes many points about how much higher the risk is for many health issues JUST because one is obese. Problems like heart disease, colon cancer, breast cancer, well, pretty much any cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, and a whole plethora of other things as well.

The book is called "Eat To Live" and although I had already made the commitment to lose the weight, the book scared me. It made me afraid of what would have happened if I hadn't made the decision.

If there is no way you could convince to give the book a look-see, then maybe you can google some of the info about obesity and increased risk for all those health issues.
