Rob Ford Aims to Lose 50lbs & Become Slightly Less Obese

First of all, I wish the very best of luck to Rob and Doug Ford. I applaud anyone who is willing to try to lose weight, especially when they are in dire need of it.

However, to only want to lose 50lbs when you are 330lbs doesn’t cut it with me Rob. Dropping down to 280lbs, while admirable, is still morbidly obese and extremely unhealthy. I challenge you to just try to actually become healthy, being healthy won’t make you a liberal, you can still be the same closed minded bigot just in a smaller frame. That doesn’t mean you have to get down to wearing a size 30-34 waist, and have rock hard abs, but it does mean being a healthy height to weight ratio. Unless you are over 7’5” Rob, 280lbs is not healthy.

Jillian Michaels (of The Biggest Loser) open to Men or Women

First I have a love of The Biggest Loser so let me start with that.

Jillian has recently told Ladies’ Home Journal:

“Let’s just say I believe in healthy love,” Michaels told writer Judith Newman. “If I fall in love with a woman, that’s awesome. If I fall in love with a man, that’s awesome. As long as you fall in love … It’s like organic food. I only eat healthy food, and I only want healthy love!”

How awesome is that? I mean I’m pretty (as in 99%) sure that Bob is gay (although he has not stated so publicly) but this comes as more of a shock. In that I was 50/50 on this one - and apparently so is Jillian - kudos.

Mostly I’m happy about this because Jillian is a great person, sure she can be harsh but it’s needed, and she is a role model to so many people.

Congrats Jillian for being courageous enough to share. You rock!

Slainte!
