It was not inspirational at all, but rather depressing. Those people seemed

these seem to be the big ones right now. I bet the results would surprise

people.

I suspect if they just randomly chose a group of people, the results would be

similar as those on this program. I don't think their purpose was to show

inspiration but to show that most people won't stick with any program, because

of a lack of planning or commitment. It's not the program as much as the

person....The program emphasized the importance of consistent exercise. An

interesting program for me would be to compare long term success examples of

each of

a few programs to see what lead to their success and maintenance of that

lifestyle.

Yes, they said to slow it down and with medication, he was able to

recover from the gout.

I agree that they didn't look healthy. They all agreed to come back

in a year.

With BFL, even if you don't lose a lb, you are at least going to look

healthier. I just looked at my face pic in the files from 1999, 2

years before BFL and I looked frightening.
