I went to a restaurant tonight and had an 8 oz sirloin and broccoli.  I'm
trying to figure out which is the right option to enter into fitday?  Anyone
have an idea? The option I have picked now says 483 calories which seems
low.  The cut didn't seem all of fatty, but I'd rather not ...

Another week, another pound.
I wish I could say this is easy, but it requires diligent work.  I find that
my diet does not require great intensity, but rather requires a persistent
plodding along in the process.

For those who're interested Laureen said I could post an update for
her.
Below is a couple of excerpts from her email to me:

Someone I know is taking this - it is an appetite suppressor.  According to

Hi lady,
Finally got a chance to look at some footage.  The short-stack is a
cute little bugger.  He's got the same name as my big cat too.  <G>
