Is it advisable to warn people they are getting overweight and offer help or solutions?

Or do you wait until they ask for help, which might be a long wait!

Depending on your relationship with this person, it's probably a 50/50 shot. From my personal experience, I'm up front with people and I don't hold back. If Fatty needs to get on the treadmill and stop playing WOW, I tell Fatty to get up and get running.

Yeah' Its good to help others and make them realize maintaining healthy is good.

You should definitely wait for them to ask. Most people would knock you out for being so assumptious and rude to be honest, if you do not like overweight people it's really your concern not theirs. You do ask the funniest questions marty ;O)

If the person is someone near and dear, you might tackle that issue very diplomatically. Follow it by some complement to take the edge off of it. Also suggest ways to offer help and support.
