Doctors laughed at the American Medical Association annual meeting when one

Hi, Everyone...
We recently purchased a jet ski and I've run across a problem I hope
someone can help me with. I'm a large person (around 300 lbs.) and though I
figured out how to get on the jet ski in shallow water, I have twice now

They talk about stalling quite a lot over on the low carb group.
I thought (probably erroneously) that stalling was a feature exclusive to
low carb diets.
I realise that weight loss speed is complex and non-linear usually.

Hello
Both myself and my wife have now been dieting for 8 weeks and have steadily
lost weight. I have lost 29lbs in 8 weeks and she has lost 15lbs.

Hello again......
43 years old male at 6ft weighing 16st 10lbs at the start. Eating around
4000 calories a day before my diet. Sedentary lifestyle not helped by having
numerous back operations.

I had an unplanned refeed on friday night. :-) I have been at or under
