You have to work at it. - Slim, trim, toned, and fit - desired "look" not easy but achievable! - Decide to tackle the fat: prevent it, control it, exercise it. - We can fix the fat! Dr. Shiriki Kumanyika, associate dean at University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, said on the acclaimed HBO special, "The weight of the nation is out of control, but we can fix that."
