News Nugget: Workplace weight programs help employees shed poundsPublished July 3rd, 2008
Ever wonder if those weight-loss programs through your employer really work? New research from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine finds employees who take part in the programs shed at least a modest amount of weight compared to those who don’t participate. But the study did not show whether they keep the weight off. News Nugget: Green tea may ward off heart diseasePublished July 2nd, 2008

Obese man loses 520 pounds, vows to leave his bedPublished July 2nd, 2008
He used to weigh 1,234 pounds. Now after two years of diet, exercise, and medical care ABC News reports Manuel Uribe has dropped more than 520 pounds and he’s determined to shed many more. Has anyone else been following this story? It caught my attention when I read Manuel had gained so much weight that he couldn’t even leave his bed for years. How awful would that be? He’s still bedridden, but things are definitely getting better. A year after Manuel started his diet and exercise routine he left his room for the first time in five years - his bed was taken outside, just in front of his home in Monterrey, Mexico. And now Manuel is engaged to Claudia Solis (that’s her in the picture). His goal is to one day be able to walk again… and walk Claudia down the aisle. Manuel’s doctors want him to lose a total of 1,000 pounds. He’s more than halfway there! You can do it, Manuel! I love this story - it’s so inspirational. And to know he has found love makes me smile. Salmonella outbreak may not be linked to tomatoes?Published July 2nd, 2008

Here’s more proof that carrying weight around your middle can be dangerous. A new report from the National Institute on Aging finds even if you’re at a normal weight, having a big stomach could be deadly. Researchers say the way fat is distributed throughout the body - especially at your waistline - may be even more important than how much you weigh.
