Oprah's weight loss show
Did anyone watch the episode of Oprah the other day where she featured a bunch of people who had lost literally hundreds of pounds? I did, but only half-heatedly -- it was on in the background while I worked away. Even so, it was pretty inspiring -- I'm always amazed when people manage to completly change their life and their habits. Don't you agree?
The show featured Oprah's favourite trainer Bob Greene and he said something that really caught my ear:
If you don't work out, you have to eat perfectly all the time. If you don't eat perfectly, you have to work out (or something to that effect)
I think he hit the nail on the head with this one -- so few of us are perfect eaters all the time, so it's important that we get some activity to burn off those extra calories, even is it's just a few extra calories. Although I think exercise is a important for everyone even when they're not trying to lose pounds. Your thoughts?

Perfect, what is perfect? Some one else's concept. The bottom line is if you eat perfect and don't dissasemble it of locamotion or muscular work than you get to keep it. The human body is capable of keeping 500-800 pounds.

Good point, Herman. You're right; perfect eating is a subjective term
