Shylo:  "Not trying to rain on anyone's parade. If it works for ya, go for 
it. But whatever happened to just good ole exercise?  I eat what I want, ride my 
bike to class,
and when practical, all around Greensboro (saves on gas ;-), and maybe go to 
the gym 3 times a week. 19 years old, don't really drink, did get lazy last 
fall and gained 30 pounds (not really proud of that), but have lost 5 pounds in 
the last month just eating what
I want and doing those things that I've mentioned. I'm going to keep it up, 
and hopefully get back some of that metabolism. Or does this work for me 
because I'm still young?"

Works for me too at age 53.  In '94 I dropped from 220 / 38" to 160 / 32" in 
a bit more than a year by starting to ride a bike to work, and still eating 
essentially my regular diet.  Still right there ten years later.  Now work is a 
30 mile round trip up and down across four roller-coaster stream valleys each 
way, on a 45 mph main surface artery, and a 3-hour two-way bicycle commute 
just ain't a happenin' thing.  But throwin' the my old two-smoker RD400 around 
the curves and over the whoops is a pretty good workout and exercises all the 
synapses too.  Uncle Al Zheimer ain't welcome round these parts, nohow!

On the other hand I'm OBVIOUSLY losin' it, just bought a SHO, q.e.d.  C'mon, 
Gramps, just sign this power of attorney already...
