3.09 Discussion: Managing Your Weight
Must post first.
Below are your instructions for this discussion board. This discussion is not meant to put anyone down but instead to understand weight struggles. You will be putting yourself in either Ursula's or Oscar's shoes. You will be offering advice to help those people with their weight struggles to encourage them to live a healthier lifestyle. Be kind and respectful to each other. If I feel you were not respectful, your post will be deleted and you will receive a 0 on this discussion board. If you need help please contact me (Mrs. Leither) for help.
