    <3 Ya zombie, glad to hear you are getting some play.

    Haha, thanks man. It speaks volumes about me that the part I like the most is the romance, not pounding each other

    well, maybe I do. I don't know yet :/

    On the next episode of arrested development ...

    I read some Sex Astrology thing with her (at Border's, and somehow it was not weird at all) and it was surprisingly accurate

    well, at least I think it is. it is how I see it being now, I guess

    I am a lot more interested in the statistic where over 95% of diets fail than the rest of the fat discrimination thread.

    This is a very interesting statistic to me.

    I would love to see some hard science on the percentages of people who are actually able to flip their life around in other areas too. Poor to rich, sad to happy, that sort of thing.

    Winky, you've made elaborate plans for 2011, and are determined to complete them all. There could, however, be last-minute changes that need to be made. Don't be too inflexible. Go with the flow.

    You're an upbeat person, and no matter what happens, you do your best to make the most of it - especially when it comes to acquiring knowledge. You'll learn more in the first few months than you did in all of 2010. Don't push yourself too hard, however. There's no hurry. Don't forget to take time out to relax and enjoy life.

    You enjoy getting out and meeting new people, and there are very few whom you consider your soul mates. It's easier for you to make casual friends, and you are kind to even your difficult relatives.

    This year, you just might find more close companions than you ever did before. Learn from them. Get to know them well. Enjoy!

    Even then, weight loss shouldn't be the goal. Improved health should be the goal. Weight loss will probably come along with it, but that's a nice side effect.

    This was similar to the diet I went on in which I managed to lose a good deal of weight. Only instead I was like "eat fewer calories".

    Of course, that statistic could have to do with the fact that the majority of diets are bullshit (and in my opinion the majority of nutritionists too). I just have long thought that lifestyle inertia is a much greater force than anyone gives it credit for.

    I lost about 20 pounds in a month one time. the plan was real simple: eat about 1,000-1,500 calories a day. no sweets, diet soda.

    it probably helped that I was rock climbing 3 hours a day, every day, for a stretch of 12+ days at a time.
