Its an amazing 'true story' film about a new Zealander called Burt Monroe who in the 60s had tuned his 1920 Indian Scout to do over 200mph. Anthony Hopkins plays the lead. Perfect DVD gift for any dad! Check it out!

im only 22 and i wiegh 320 lbs last year this time i wieghed 185 and i think im depressed and i have so many problems my back and knees are in pain on the regular i just dont know what to do if anyone has any suggestions please i need help i wanna live long enough to see my son grow up

Dude! You already made the biggest step by joining this amazing website. I only joined yesterday but think it's great. I especially love the bar you can add to Firefox which helps you count all your calories! Makes life very easy.

I've never counted calories before, and I've always enjoyed food far too much but like you I've decided i need to become as healthy as poss for the sake of my kids (1 girl 3 years old and 1 boy 5 months old). Plus I need to lose the moobs.

I'm sure once you start using this site you'll instantly become more aware of how much you are eating, as I have. I've also started some swim and run training which I feel I am 'undoing' by eating too much. Plus the extra weight slows me down!

Add me as a friend if you need some extra encouragement! Beware! I'll do it with friendly English humor!

Be strong my friend! If you put the weight on easily, just believe it will come off easily!

Hi ann,

Australia is now nearly number one in obesity world wide!!! We look like the healthy country and hopefully will get to be that - obese people are made to feel guilty everytime something comes on the news about how it's our fault for the health system being overburdened due to obese people - unfortunately guilt doesn't motivate - it makes you want to hide and not get help!!!!! I am glad your daughter enjoyed her time here - will be great for you both to come and see Australia and what we have to offer next time :) Megs
