New Year's Resolution

[learnteach]

I'm going to lose a Maria Faul.

At FNW NYE (TLA) I resolved to lose 100 lbs. Yesterday, while partaking of the Dwarf Dinner (MALT BEER AND ROASTED MEAT!) I realized that Maria is Less than 100 pds. So I'll lose a Maria.

I hope she doesn't get pregnant soon...

Hey, if I can do it, you can do it. You get far more activity than I do. 48lbs so far in 3.5 months.

Best of luck with that!

I'm resolved to lose weight this year too, but I'm not putting a number on it quite yet. ^_^

Losing a Maria; that's reminiscent of the Micro-Helen/Milli-Helen thing.

I want to lose the equivalent of my stepmother. Mine weighs 80 pounds.

I'll be ecstatic if I can manage a half Maria, or perhaps even a four Winslow (the feline sleek.) Without the hair balls.

Anybody got a diet/method that's really working for them?

I've had good reports about the South Beach (which is effectively a realistically modified Atkins) diet. Eat very few (complex) carbs, eat low-fat proteins, and exercise.

This is a burning question for me as well. I found this just now:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - No one really knows which diets work and which are a waste of time, with the possible exception of Weight Watchers, U.S. researchers are reporting.

A review of 10 separate studies of weight-loss programs showed there was very little hard data to support any commercial or nonprofit diet approach, the researchers found.

Only Weight Watchers had scientific research to back up its simple approach of keeping a food diary and focusing on low-calorie foods, especially vegetables and whole grains, they wrote in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

Heh, how about I lose myself at 12, that's about right I think. Yeah, scary, isn't it? Try not to lose your friends in losing the weight. Of course, losing yourself is probably worse.
