Sometimes a car seat posed a problem but usually they fit everywhere just fine. I have a couple of friends now, one is 350 lb. and the other is 400 lb. and they have no problem whatsoever w/hygiene. The woman who weighed 500 lb. went to a truck stop and weighed herself on the scales there. That's what prompted her to lose weight. I was extremely proud of all the women in my classes. They worked harder than most, tried harder than most and were more successful w/their weight loss than most. They felt completely comfortable in my classes b/c they weren't being judged but encouraged even though I worked them like a second job. I, however, eventually wore out. I was teaching 6 one hour classes a day for a couple of years plus I was juggling family duties and trying to raise a good son. I just couldn't take the pace any more and I was in my early 30's then.
