Summary: This week for our feature section, Jeff found a weight loss/fitness program that is published by the US Navy. It's a no nonsense approach to getting and staying in shape. What were you expecting from the military, shakes, bars and pills to get in shape? In the e-mail and comments portion of the show, we have two listener profiles. JP wrote in and he's not our typical listener. JP is at his goal weight and has never been overweight, but his family is. He recognized that prevention is the best medicine when it comes to weight. David, on the other hand, did gain a lot of weight and has spent the last 3 years losing 100 lbs. He chronicled his weight loss journey on his blog. The Web Report brings us two articles. Jeff found one about women and their body image. It's a top 10 list of disturbing facts about body image. Russ shares an article about a study that basically found that ALL weight loss drugs are useless and that eating less and exercising more is the key to losing the fat. Shocker!
