Sent this out today! Bedford Man Dedicated To Extreme Weight Loss To Help Local Animal Rescue In Need Bedford, Texas - April 26, 2007 - A local Bedford man has committed himself to extreme weight loss in order to help a local animal rescue organization in dire financial need. Stephen West, owner and subject of the website LessFatMorefit.com, has teamed up with the Weimaraner Rescue of North Texas (WRNT) to launch Project WE, which is designed to raise money for the WRNT in order to help the shelter pay off more than $10,000 in unexpected debt.

Granted i'll grant you they are extremely rare, but all they seemed to focus on was how much food they consumed and offered no hope or conclusion other than them eating themselves to death. I may be a bit sensative but Discovery channels only seem to focus on the negetivity and hopelessness of being obese instead of offering any solutions. The show reairs on March 7th and 8th but it prompted me to write the letter below to them. If I hear from them i'll let you know. http://tlc.discovery.com/tvlistings/episode.jsp?episode=2&cpi=55746&gid=0&channel=TLC apparently I fit your demographic because every time you have a program regarding obesity I seem to watch it.
