We could go to this family with the latest weight loss plan and try to help them that way, but it would do very little help. As we said in one of the previous comments, it's all about the mind-set..that needs to change first and foremost! It's just very sad though. Hey Doug,

While the look to be overweight (or obese) as a "Yank" I had to look up the equivalency for a stone (about 14 pounds or 6.35 kilograms). Therefore, these family members weigh about 250, 340, 340, and 240 pounds, respectively. They are obviously well overweight but I have worked with people that look (and probably are) much heavier and it did not prevent them from making a living. While it is commendably that Emma is learning a trade, every hairdresser I have every know complains about being on their feet all day, which probably makes this a poor choice of a profession for someone with her "disability." An understanding that decisions have consequences and lessons in rational decision making are probably what this family could use the most. Life is full of challenges and the rewards only come from meeting and working through these challenges. <abbr><em>Doug’s last blog post..<a href="http://alignamend.blogspot.com/2008/11/open-letter-to-governor-schwarzenegger.html" rel="nofollow">Open letter to Governor Schwarzenegger</a></abbr></em> WOW!

Very disturbing to read the excuses they make about not working, and it annoys me that their bad attitude has now passed onto their daughters - so on goes this cycle. Hi ChristiaanH, I totally agree, it's all about the mind set. Without changing that you can forget about being successful in losing weight long-term. Hi Jenny,
