Summary: The ultimate goal of losing weight is to eat all that you want of the best tasting food and still lose weight. In the same sense, the ultimate goal of exercise should be doing something that you really enjoy and accidentally exercising. In this show, we introduce the global sport called Geocaching. It is basically a world wide treasure hunt. There are thousands of these "treasure chests" or "caches" throughout the world. To play the game, you get the GPS (global positioning system) coordinates of the Cache that you want to find, and then you go out and try to find it. All that you need is an inexpensive hand-held GPS device similar to the one above and access to the internet to get the latest Geocache coordinates. It is truly a sport that is open to anyone of any ability. In our email and comments section, Dawn asked a question about what to do with the extra hanging skin that people have after a large weight loss. Russ' wife actually underwent a "tummy tuck" last week to remove excess skin from three pregnancies and offers his insight. Teresa also sent us an email thanking us for giving her an insight that helped her out while she is traveling for business. Our last email was from Jenn, who asked us about her problem knees and any insights that we might have to strengthen the joints. In our Web Report section, Jeff talked about the 2008 Canadian statistics for childhood obesity in Canada. The results were very poor. Who would have thought that there are overweight and obese 2 year olds? Russ brought up another Vagus nerve that is showing some promise to help control the feeling of hunger in people.
