It is, indeed, rather difficult. I lost weight and kept it off for the
last 1.5+ years, and it is not particularly easy.


I lost a lot of weight and kept it of for the past year and a half as
well. While I agree that it is not particularly easy, I wouldn't say
that it's particularly difficult either.

I'm sure Chung will be glad to provide a "believable" link to substantiate
this ridiculous statement...........
However, it "could" be true if they're all dead........

The experiences of these people have been publicly presented and
discussed before an audience made up of medical professionals and
general public:

http://www.geocities.com/todayswoman2005/

Now, THAT'S impressive.........."Celebrating the Modern Woman" presented by
The Marietta Lions Club and East Cobb Lions Club Foundation.........(and it
also included a Family Fashion Show by Belk Department Stores)....WOW!!!!
Is that a new medical society???

The Lions Club is the largest civic organization in the world.

This may start a new trend.........presenting medical claims to a group
of ladies at a lunch/fashion show instead of publishing papers in medical
journals..........It sure would avoid a lot of scrutiny and tough questions
like trying to substantiate "that there are **more** than 625,550 people
with **more** than 5 years experience with the 2PD-OMER Approach. All have
**not** regained what they have lost in weight."
VERY CLEVER!!!
P.S. I'm hurt......you didn't call me "dear"...........

I suspect the truth has indeed hurt you mortally.

I see the light. Wishing makes it so. Picture me tossing rose buds in

Do you ever get referred to as "Whiny Wendy"?

Only when i fart.


Other than a forum for you to vent about how impossible it is to lose weight
(something many of the regular posters here have managed, somehow, to do),

It's not impossible. And some people run 4 minute miles, that doesn't
mean everyone can. On a population basis what is likely?

what's the point of this thread? While it's ostensibly a thread to discuss
a study on starved rat metabolism, it's really telling us much more about
your outlook on life, and your personal issues in coming to grips with your
weight.

I think it says more about you really.

You are worse psychologist than detective. I guess to understand how
cancer works is really to be in fear?

Hopefully the following truths will help her:

Your truths are what you make up in your head then justify with the
convenient mechanism of religion.

Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD makes yet another bad guess:

I suspect the truth has indeed hurt you mortally.

WRONG AGAIN Andy!!!!
Whatever hospital you practice at(if any), should check out your
guesswork.......the results are NOT very impressive........
However, between your grandiose claims and your tendency towards the
"slight" bending of facts, I can see a great future for you in the Used Car
industry.........
Good Luck............

That may be true with you. But it could be a lot harder for someone else
with a different genetic heritage. If you are a black women who
naturally emits more ghrelin you might find it harder. If you have
become leptin insensitive you might find it harder. If you have fewer
dopamine recpetors you might find it harder.

That would be "Windy Wendy"

The eat-less mantra seems to work for all who have been successful in their
weightloss efforts. It even works for those of us who have a few minor road
blocks in our path - such as menopause, limited ability to exercise, etc.

Decreasing intake down to the **right** amount does work every time for
helping folks achieve lasting weight loss:
