Hello, all:

Here is a link to an article about FAT and its beneficial aspects, from

yesterday's New York Times.

By the way, do you all remember the old " set point " -- the point where your

weight tends to hover, no matter what you do?

I'm happy to report that eight months after my Nov. '06 surgery, I've reach

a new " set point. " Luckily, it is EXACTLY at the 100 lbs I wanted to lose

in the first place. I haven't lost any more for at least six weeks, so

believe I have finally stopped losing. And I'm feeling great, with lots of

energy. This is a GOOD thing, because I'm about to resume my

post-retirement work as a construction manager. I'm converting a four-unit

apartment house I own into four condos. Wish me luck.
