There are certain risks with remaining over-weight or obese. Among these risks are tendencies for high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, and certain cancers. These risks may be modest if you are not very overweight. Even if you dont need to lose much, the cosmetic and psychological benefits of weight loss can be very rewarding. If you are extremely over-weight (50-100 pounds) a reduction by only 10 percent of your starting weight can reduce your risks of medical complications.
