There is a guy in my ward who is absolutely enormous, easily 400 lbs. I've often thought about approaching him and asking if he would like someone to maybe go to the gym with him or just go to the Parkway and start a walking regimen, to see if we could get some weight off of him. I'd be willing to do it. But I really don't know him that well, and I fear he may take it the wrong way. So I've never said anything.

I think NBC needs to create a "Biggest Loser Coaches" show. It would feature guys like Andy Reid, Rick Majerus, Mangino at Kansas, Friegan at Maryland. It would be wildely popular and possibly give these men a chance to live into their 60s or 70s or beyond.
I think it is great when people decide to change their lives and their habits and drop the weight...but it has to be their decision.
