As someone who has lost over 100 lbs, I can vouch for the fact that it is hard. I am also living with the health consequences of carrying that extra wt around for as long as I did. I am not into fat shaming, but I do believe that carrying a lot of extra wt is not good for you. Is that controversial?

I’ve been watching Wolves basketball since season 1, game 1. A little disappointed in this series but all in all a good season and lots of hope for the future.
