why lose the weight? uh... maybe because being that overweight can kill you and make your life very hard- she said it's causing her to have arthritis, carpal tunnel, etc.

why don't they try to lost weight before they pregnant again cause they they go though alot already

How drunk was her man to want to have a kid with her for the 3rd time?! lol

You don't get arthritis from being diabetic or obese. You get arthritis from exposure to cold, like if you spend long hours in an ice box or outside during the winter.

arthritis and carpal tunnel are the least of her worries she should be worrying about heart conditions and multi organ failure and maybe start thinking of the fact she may not live to see her children graduate high school. I believe obesity is as real of a disease as anorexia i just wish more people realized how serious it is. she is morbidly obese not just obese.

I'm sure this lady is very nice--that's not the issue with being clinically obese. I don't think that ppl need to be stick thin to be attractive; attractive happens at every size. But she's got all these health problems, and has the potential of many more she didn't even mention. Like she said, how can she keep up with her new baby? It's not about whether someone is nice OR sexy...she should get some medical help losing some weight so she can be healthy for her kids' sake!!!

@vmi3301 I'm 5'6 and weigh 8st 7lbs. A HEALTHY WEIGHT. I'm happy and healthy, fat people are not. . You may think skinny people are as you put it ' stupid and brain dead' but whats more stupid... looking after yourself or eating yourself to death ?Society is getting bigger and we will only end up destroying ourselves- you do not help- you are infact the stupid one. I barely eat junk food- it's not natural for us or any good for us. But if you think fat is sexy go ahead ;) freak.

hey asses that is my mom

[MaggieRoara]

she needs to not just loose weight to look good but because she has three babies depending on her. maybe she should genuinely go get a check to see why she isnt loosing weight properly. I had alot of problems loosing weight too but i found out it was hypothyrodism and now i am on the right track, with the right treatment my weight los has become so much easier
