Effects of weight cycling on the resting energy expenditure and body
composition of obese women.

OBJECTIVE: Numerous reports have suggested that cycles of weight loss and
regain (i.e., weight cycling) are associated with adverse health
consequences, a concern that may lead some obese individuals to forgo
weight control efforts. The present study examined whether weight cycling
was associated with a reduction in resting energy expenditure (REE) and
with increases in both total and upper body fat. METHOD: REE, body
composition, and body fat distribution were measured before and after
weight loss, and following full weight regain, in 12 women who before
treatment had a mean (+/- SEM) age of 38.8 +/- 3.4 years and weight of 98.0
+/- 3.2 kg. RESULTS: At the end of treatment, patients lost 18.9 +/- 2.6
kg which was comprised of significant decreases in body fat and fat-free
mass of 15.2 +/- 2.2 and 3.7 +/- 0.8 kg, respectively (both ps .001). REE
also fell during this time from 1,631 +/- 82 to 1,501 +/- 51 kcal/d (p
03). All of these measures, however, returned to their baseline values
when patients regained their lost weight. Body fat distribution was
unchanged throughout the study. DISCUSSION: These results do not support
claims that weight cycling adversely affects REE, body composition, or body
fat distribution.

If I catch you busting into a mass and vilifying a church, the last thing
you'll hear in your entire life, will be the ratatatatat of an automatic.

Young Mr. Chaney, the man who has told me that he wants to murder me and
sodomize women in my family, has said, repeatedly, that advocates for
choice had vandalized churches.

she probably has to have her picture taken by satellite because no normal
camera can fit all that whale blubber into one picture.

Excessively fat women look ugly. It is impractical to try and have sex when
she's 100lbs overweight and the weight is all fat - but most women ain't
that big.

You of course do know what a lot of Asian women prefer, right? Besides,
after ****ing a cute asian chick, experience tells me it isn't all that
except that she looks good on your arm. In bed it ain't much at all. If the
lights go out, any guy whose hormones are more fixed on performance than
looks, is going to go to sleep right there and then.

Clarice and Allisson were well beyond a BMI of 25 in their pictures where
they were called cows.

If Dutton knocked on Steve's door and Steve shot him in the face, I would
really not care.
