    I think on Dr. Phil today they are doing a weight loss show. (I'm always at work when it airs but my mum mentioned it to me) I think there is a woman who weighed 700 pounds and has dropped 400 on the show. Could be interesting! I've only seen his show once or twice.

                          I read that article too and was inspired to get back on the Atkins wagon.
                          If he can lose 300 pounds then I have no excuses about losing my excess 250 pounds.
