Most people can lose a little weight by simply cutting down on the fork lifting. I was one of those. A little self discipline goes a long way, but it is without doubt not easy. Some folks need help losing the weight. Others choose to not bother. Whatever a person chooses is none of my business unless they ask for my help or opinion. When you put it out there like this, though, you're asking for a lot of opinions you're not going to enjoy getting.
