I don't mind Oprah sometimes, depending on her show that day. I certainly watch much less than I used to. Here is what struck me as odd. She has blamed her weight gain on her thyroid problems, which led to other health issues. So, here she was, gaining weight like crazy, eating entire bags of chips (!), not working out, etc. If you are having that many health issues (she listed a number of problems on a show with Dr. Oz last week), then your thyroid is SERIOUSLY out of whack. Bottom line, according to her, the weight gain is due to her thyroid..
