I didn't see your friend, but I caught most of the segment. Their info was kind of general, but they didn't say it was a bad thing. I thought it was fairly informative for those considering it. Though, I did notice that all those involved in the reporting were super thin. (It made me question their motivation and perspective...but I'm also analytical about such things and read more into what's actually there!)

Thanks for the heads up!

PS. Are you getting excited? This time next week, you'll be a LOSER!

The girl from my group was the first one of the two girls. She was there, and is super thin. You saw her and just didn't know it.
