When you lose a lot of weight, the last thing you want is to find it. On this week’s Health Show, we’ll hear from an writer who lost 188 pounds...and is now starting the process of losing a lot of those pounds again. We’ll also hear what our very pleasant, svelte commentator thinks about weight loss surgery. And we’ll travel to the nation of Mali where performing artists are spreading the word about Malaria prevention.

ANGRY FAT GIRLS
Frances Kuffel is a loser. A really successful one. In her 2004 book “Passing For Thin” she detailed how she changed her life by losing 188 pounds. She gained critical praise and a measure of fame. She also eventually gained half of those pounds back. And she found some kindred souls...veterans of the weight loss/gain yo yo. Those friendships and the stories behind them are the subject of her new book: “Angry Fat Girls - 5 Women, 500 Pounds, and a Year of Losing It...Again.”
Sandy D - Weight Loss Surgery
When it comes to weight loss, our friend Sandy Daigler is our go-to person for thoughts and insights...and she still thinks that slow and steady wins the races and loses the weight. Sandy Daigler is a writer and architect living in Troy, New York. She is the first person in the history of this program to use the term “jelly belly”.
