To Lose Weight Pick Thinner Friends

Losing weight may not be so much a matter of what you eat but rather  with whom you take out to dinner!

Want to lose a little extra weight?  Pick skinnier friends!  A new study from Baylor University found that overweight people more likely to shed pounds if they spend time with thinner friends.

 WebMD.com says the analysis of more than 9,300 American adults found that people who want to drop weight are less likely to succeed if they only socialize with other overweight people.

 But WebMD.com says that doesn't mean you should ditch all your hefty friends. More study is needed to understand the association, because this research did not prove a cause-and-effect link.
