Re: low carb diet?

Ninety-two percent of participants stuck with the Jenny Craig program for two years--a remarkable level of adherence--and at the end of that time weighed an average of about 8 percent less than when they started. 8 percent. If your BMI is 40 that gets it down to 37; if 35 down to 32. I would come t...

Re: low carb diet?

If you're sensitive to insulin, the weight will come back when you revert. Even going to the gym, mine came back because I was eating normally...

Re: OT: Asked if I had a gun in my home during physical.

I really hope that one of Marion's children, grandchildren, whoever is not seriously injured or killed in a firearms accident. Seriously. I really mean that. I am sure she uses locks for safety with guns and kids in the house. http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u238/roostershooster/Kidslockedup.jpg

Re: New and Desperate...

So is that mostly what those terms mean? Or is someone going to be following me around and my insurance coverage cancelled cuz I fell asleep before strapping on my "Vader" face? You might want to ask your insurance co. what the compliance requirement are. Typically it is 4 hours usage on 5 out of 7...
