  1. http://www.theonion.com/news/index.php?issue=4046

  2. A diligent record of noise, that distracts one from the signal.

    The story also underscores the ubiquity of regain. Most people don't
    advertise their failures.

    Not OT.

    That would have been funnier before she actually stabilized her weight
    about . . . what? Two years ago? I don't know how long it's been since
    I've seen her look really fat, but it's been a while. I'm not sure exactly
    what diet she does, but I remember she doesn't eat bread, and she now works
    out regularly.

    I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws.

    With weight regain, people can't help but advertise their failures.

    Un-believable. That they would call this a "success" and have a great
    big party to celebrate this "success".

    The fact is that in her lifetime she has had 20,000 excess pounds, has
    had to try 674 diets, and suffered thru 255 different workout routines
    in over 30 years. And only now does she feel that she is a successful
    loser.

    How does that contrast to what the mainstream has been saying all this
    time that there is only *one* way to lose weight, the
    low-fat/low-calorie way? And it is supposed to be so simple, just eat
    less and exercise more.

    Why did it take 674 different diets if all she needed to do was eat
    less and exercise more? She has the intelligence to do the research or
    have someone do the research, the money to put any program into place,
    and she is still struggling to stay at a weight that she is happy
    with.

    Success...... right......

    Don't you know when your "leg" is being pulled?

    To lose weight, one way or another, the majority of us will need to eat less
    and exercise more (in general).

  12. ha ha ha ha!!! for a moment i thought it was real as well, but then I said to
    myself, "Wait a minute, this is The Onion, you can't read it like you're reading
    the PubMed links that are often posted on this forum!"

  13. TC, it's The Onion, it suppose to be a satire. Nothing posted there is real,
    see e.g.

    http://www.theonion.com/news/index.php?issue=4047&n=1

    White House Thanksgiving Turkey Detained Without Counsel

    WASHINGTON, DC—Cousin Wattle, the official National Thanksgiving Turkey who was
    to have been pardoned by President Bush in an annual White House ceremony that
    dates back to the Truman administration, is currently being held without formal
    charges or access to legal counsel, White House press secretary Scott McClellan
    confirmed Tuesday.
