The problem is that there is a big difference between wanting to lose the extra weight and actually following through and doing something about it.
These findings were confirmed in a recent Gallup Poll, which revealed that most Americans — 55 percent — say they would like to lose weight. However, less than half of those people (27 percent) are making a serious attempt to lose the weight.
There also seems to be a misconception of what is considered overweight, as 36 percent of Americans in the study considered themselves to be in the overweight range, but when the Poll compared the self-report information to their reported ideal weight, the number of overweight people jumped to 62 percent.
