Your friend is overwieght? Well she
should be fine unless she lets you know
that she is concerned about the weight she
has gained. She did have a baby and some
mothers are in no rush to get to the track
when they have a baby to care for. You
can let her know that you will be going
jogging or to a gym a few times a week and
you would like her to join you. Just hint
that you want to get healthy and you dont
want to go it alone. Then she will maybe
go and not have any thoughts that you
think she is over weight. If she refuses,
let it go.

Maybe the quick weight gain came as a
result of her having a baby, her
metabolism might have changed, or maybe
she could also have developed a thyroid
condition. She has to watch her diet and
avoid a lot of fried foods and junk food
and try and eat more sensibly.
She should add more fresh fruits and
vegetables and less starchy foods to her
diet along with exercise daily. Why
don't you encourage her to go walking tell
her you are going to go walking and set a
time maybe each day if possible and ask
her to go walking with you.
