I am constantly amazed by the assumptions people make about weight.
I am overweight.
I recently had a heart stress test because I am a person who is prone to unusual reactions during stressful times
I was on that treadmill, up and down hills, fast and slow walking, climbing stairs, ect.. lol and people were amazed that I have very little reaction to that.
I don't have high blood pressure most times (some things will cause it to rise)
I don't have diabetes.
My cholestrol is at the top of very normal limits.
I can walk 15 miles without getting tired.
The only back issues I have were a result of a work related accident I had when I was much thinner and younger. I can fit in seats like normal people. And I can not only get on my knees, but I can do squat sits and rise without touching my hands to the floor.
Oh.. and I am over 50.
Not everyone who is overweight is unhealthy.
But, if you allow yourself to vegetate into a helpless state where such things are not only difficult they are impossible.. well.. thats just stupid. Getting so bad you need a cart to get anywhere is not just unhealthy, it is a hardship on anyone who is close to you.

I needed to add something. How is the sub in questions Colesteral ? Heart rate? Any angina or heart disease? What about other physical ailments like lack of energy, physical stamina, shortness of breath? how are the joints? Does she have bad knees or a bad back? What about fitting into an airplane seat?
