Fantastic !!!! I would like to know the program.
I am a child obese elderly. Not only all my life I had to control my weight, but I had a childhood filled with sadness of teasing and discomfort.
But those programs without changing habits at home and without the example of the parents will not be possible to maintain results.
My greetings
