composition, eating behavior, and subsequent weight loss.

This study examined the relationship of dieting history to resting
metabolic rate, body composition, and subsequent weight loss in 50 obese
women. A preliminary study showed that the women were able to report with
satisfactory reliability the number of diets in which they had engaged
(mean = 4.9 +/- 0.5), as well as the total weight loss resulting from these
diets (mean = 55.9 +/- 6.0 kg). We found no evidence that weight cycling,
as measured by either of these variables, was associated at baseline with a
reduced resting metabolic rate or an increased percentage of body fat. Nor
did we find that weight cycling was associated with smaller weight losses
in a prospective trial in which subjects were treated by very-low-calorie
diet and behavior therapy. The clinical implications of these findings are
discussed, as are the methodological problems encountered in conducting
research on this topic.

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

If Dutton knocked on Steve's door and Steve shot him in the face, I would
