A call for any and all studies about the benefits of weight loss!

I'm sure many of you saw the HuffPo article yesterday.

I saw a lot of different reactions. I saw some people who felt validated and others who felt furious.

I fell into the latter camp. Not because the author called out fat shaming. But because of the defeatist attitude.

The article stated an obese woman has a .008% chance of achieving a normal weight. The whole article makes it sound like we should never even try.

I would appreciate anyone who could link me to some studies that show the benefits of losing weight. Because i think that article could be rewritten without the "give up before you start message"

I know of a few studies, but I know many of you probably know more than I do.

Thank you!
