Thanks for the links to the medical research, looks like a viscous cycle between OSA & wieght gain. I've noticed it, over the last year as my OSA was getting worse, I was gaining more & more wieght, which only seemed to make me even more tired.

And its not just obese people, i'm probably only 20-30 lbs overwieght, but its a noticable differance. I know losing it won't cure my OSA, but it certainly can't hurt it.

Just wanted to make some additional clarifying comments. I am about 75 lbs., overweight. Obesity is increasing at an alarming rate. I know right now the #1 killer in the United States is obesity, smoking is second. Does everyone realize what portions are considered normal anymore in our super size it world? I think most people eat larger proportions than we should and make poor choices in what we are feeding our bodies. I have made poor food choices as well as finding excuses not to be physically active at least to the degree that I would burn some calories. I am not out to cut anyone down. It would be interesting to find out what everyone weighs in this forum, wouldn't it???

6'1", between 230 and 240 most of the time.

Liam, who often answeres rhetorical questions.
