The shape of a healthy diet (CNN) Jose Jimenez used to weigh 350 pounds. Then last year, at the age of 16, he turned to a drastic measure to lose weight bariatric surgery, or what is sometimes known as stomach stapling. "I wanted something that would work for me and I knew that the surgery would do that," Jose said. With childhood obesity rates soaring, some teenagers are turning to the once adult-only surgery, a procedure that closes off parts of the stomach and, sometimes, intestines. This restricts the amount of food a person can eat and creates a fuller feeling with a much smaller portion. In the seven months after his surgery, Jose lost 100 pounds and says he is still dropping weight.

Welcome to Decreasing Diane Home Page My Story Progress so far Weight Watchers ... Checklist Let's Watch Diane Decrease SEE HOW I TRAVEL OK, so I was not gonna do a website to track my weight loss progress. I do, look at , teach, analyze, adjust websites, and network related stuff all day for students and clients, so the last thing I really wanted to spend any time on was doing one for me. But, as life would have it, Ive been asked, and convinced it may be a fun way to share my still very young journey into the world of a smaller, better fitting, healthier, less me, well ME. So, here it is! Don't expect a lot of glitzy, flashy, sparkly things that you see on some of these sites, I'm just not into that, and personally think it detracts from the value of the content. But hey, that's just me. On YOUR website, you can have as many jumping beans, flying squirrels, or whatever you desire. Its a free country! This is my site, and what I will promise, is that I will try to have meaningful and interesting content that is pertinent to my weight loss, and learning curve in knowing myself and my food relationships better.

About Obesity in dogs Obesity is a major problem for pet dogs Introduction A guide to determine if Pal is malnourished Introduction Obesity in dogs is a serious medical problem. Fat dogs are more at risk in surgery, more prone to injury, and have more stress on their heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and joints. A guide to determine if Pal is malnourished Overweight dogs have increasing amounts of fat over the ribs and minimal or absent waist and tuck-up. Obese dogs have heavy fat over the ribs, along the spine, and around the tail. Morbidly fat dogs have protruding abdomens and fat deposits throughout their bodies. Owners can examine their own dogs for a fat layer on the ribs and the visibility of a waist and tuck-up. Breed characteristics should be taken into account of course, as some breeds have more prominent ribs and tuck-ups when in optimum condition. In general, dogs with protruding bones and the appearance of muscle loss are too thin. Many dog food manufacturers sell low-calorie diets for dogs that are worth a look, and some companies sell prescription weight-loss diets through veterinary practices. However, caution is the rule when using these rations.

Doug Daft, Coke's chairman and chief executive, said the obesity issue is "top of mind" and possibly the biggest challenge the soft-drink business has faced in the last 50 years. To cope, he called for cooperation among all those in the industry, along with imploring the public not to look for simplistic solutions to obesity, such as banning soft drinks.
