I watched it some last season, but only caught the finale of this season that aired last night. Unbelievable! At least a couple people on the show lost over 50% of their original weight.
The winner, Erik, went from over 400 pounds to under 195. Look at these before and after photos:

Hard to even believe this is the same guy!
But maybe Lindsay was just being forum-ish in her provocative comment
I would think someone who changes their avatar so much would pay more attention to others' avatars! :)

I noticed yours, Kirk. ;) It's all skin. I don't even see any fastskin there. Nice stoke too. You know how exciting good technique is.
And are we not supposed to refrain from discussing political nuances unrelated to swimming, like the seepage of certain things into public schools? From the left, Vesper.

I need fat, I am shrinking away. I love these fat little chorizo, spicy sausages they have here in Mexico. I am sure I am down to 230 or 240 lbs. My wife told me I need to get a 2 size smaller speedo.
Question for Lindsay what age were you when you passed the breeding age.
Craig, are you contesting the posted numbers attributed to Harvard or saying those numbers do not constitute a significant decrease?
Those numbers are estimates. And at the end of the day, I do not believe we will see a statistically significant decline in either the incidence of CAD or the death rate by banning trans fats. Again, that's not to say they shouldn't be banned. But in the big scheme of things, it's a drop in the bucket.
By the way, you can always tell a Harvard man, you just can't tell him much.
Freshman student: Excuse me, could you tell me where the library's at?
older student: At Harvard, we never end a sentence with a preposition.
freshman: Sorry. Could you tell me where the library's at, A-hole!
LOL!
Makes me think of Bill O'Reilly!
Anyhow, my cardiologist graduated from Harvard Law School, and then went on to get his MD, FACC. Either he was confused as a youth or he really loved school. Anyhow, he is a very quiet and softspoken person...nothing like the Harvard reputation that is so common.
A study was conducted in the mid-20th century where the oldest people on earth were interviewed. It found that the following factors contributed to their longevity:
None of the old people had any kind of arthritis - not one of them
None of them ever took any food supplements of any kind
All of the centenarians he met did some kind of physical activity everyday
Most of them had a garden to grow some of their own foods
Almost all of them were actively involved with their communities
They ate whole, organically grown grains, seeds, legumes, berries, fruits and vegetables
The small amounts of flesh products consumed were chemical-free
They consumed some form of raw or clabbered milk product almost daily
They expelled waste daily without signs of constipation or incontinence
They were happy and content with their lot in life
They were invariably compassionate, altruistic and spiritualNo sex, prescription drugs, alcohol, NSAIDs or TFs on that list.
Both perfectly easy to prepare with all natural ingredients and zero trans fats.
What if I don't want to be forced to use your recipe? That's the point. You do what you want in your house and I'll do the same in mine.
