France captain Patrice Evra claims that coach Raymond Domenech dropped him from the squad for "no valid reason'' and denied him the chance to apologise to the French public by reading out the players' statement himself.

No time to expercise....false! You can work on a laptop or play games or watch TV while you exercise. I love my SpinDesk Pro www.spindesk.com Check it out! I have no language of "no time" any more. I now say I can't afford not to exercise (and work).

What are those comments? Is this cyber hell. What are they talking about? I thought we were going to comment on the article. I read the first ten and have no clue.

I've tried Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, and a million other programs, all repeatedly, to no avail. I'm now looking at surgery or the lap band as a solution, and wish my husband would really join me at the gym. I feel so alone trying to lose weight. Surgery is my next stop. Oprah is making a choice not to avail herself, with all her money, of all the many choices before her. If I could, I'd have a chef cook me the right meals daily, and keep me out of the kitchen. That would be easier than having to cook for the family, as I do. She's lucky, she has so many options before her, but our choices (with a lot less cash to throw around) are far fewer. Too bad she can't get her weight under control, but I don't think her medical condition is a legit excuse. Others have lost weight with this same thyroid diagnosis. Susan

Oh, come on with this Oprah baloney. She doesn't have a thyroid problem. Her favorite food isn't a bag of organic blue chips. She's fat, and she eats fattening food. All her minions parrot what she says but the rest of us should be smarter than that.

Isn't she fortunate that she can meke megabucks and I am following her? Oprah is human and I have been adding and losing weight. She encourages me. So I am going to stick to watching her loose weight and work on my own weight too. I am following her program with her. So hopefully, I will have made a dent. If you can't beat them... join them.

No matter what you say or think, Oprah still pull a lot of crowd and I am sure you are sad about that.

I feel for Opra, I too have a thyroid problem and the frustration it gives. I was walking for exercise and gaining weight and feeling depressed (yes depression is a side effect of hypothyroidism), went to the doc. and I suggested that a thyroid test be run, as I hadn't ever had one. Lo and behold it (TSH) was high, indicating hypothyroidism. Need to be your best advocate. Since then, about a year, adjusting the med. Weight is still a problem, but continue to work on it, doing walking and Wii fit -- don't have $ for a trainer. I say alot of things don't appear as they are and look at your own backyard
