Weight loss

Anju had enrolled at the Maninagar branch of the fitness centre on November 18, 2002.

Her weight then was 59.30 kg.

But a month after the programme and despite assurances from the fitness centre, she found no reduction in weight.

Three months later, she claimed, her weight had increased to 60.55 kg.

He really is.

Like 5 hours a day he's over there." She has an interesting outlook on her dad's success.

"It makes me want to try harder or work in general for my daughter, because it's like 'gosh, look at him.' I really need to try." Then there's Wally's wife, who doesn't mind sharing her husband with the gym.

She started losing weight before Wally left for Durham.

She's down 67 pounds and proud of both of their milestones.

"Incredible.

Incredible," Lynne Anderson says with a smile.

"I told him he looks handsome.

His face has thinned down." Their new eating habits-truly a familiy affair.
