I bet that would alleviate the stink problem. However, if the
trainers clothes are synthetic, theyll probably stink anyway, as

Really? Then why are low-income children most likely to be fat?
Because the biogtry their parents face? Or could it be the lack
of choice in the food they eat? Or for urban children, the lack
of opportunity to get outside and play?
The number of obese children in low-income families rose 30% from
1983 to 1995. Is that because anti-fat bigotry rose 30% during that
time (numbers from a CDC study as reported 06 JAN 1998)? Or is it

walking will aid in the weight dropping off. Bottom line remains: the more
effort you expend the greater the results. |

to wear exercise clothes, exercise, then shower and change clothes. That takes

Ive just started doing yoga classes, and have nothing stretchy enough to be
able to do the exercises properly. Does anyone know of anywhere in the U.K.
I can get some clothes suitable. I need a large size and mail order would be
preferred. Mae |
