i have decided to try to do 2000 cals burned a day 3x a week and 1500 3 x a week alternating, and 4000-6000 on "weekends" and to also do the no rest days in February thing the Chris mafia is doing as well. and i will try to update daily again. and i have decided to do an experiment with garlic.

**Allicin and Weight Loss
A team of doctors at Israel's Tel Hashomer Hospital conducted controlled test on rats to find how garlic can prevent diabetes and heart attacks and found an interesting side effect. They noticed that none of the rats given allicin gained weight.
According to Medspice, garlic can effectively keep weight in control. First of all, garlic is an appetite suppressant. The strong odor of garlic stimulates the satiety center in the brain, thereby reducing feelings of hunger. Specifically, garlic reduces appetite by increasing the brain's sensitivity to leptin, a hormone produced by fat cells to regulate appetite. Garlic has another lethal weight loss arsenal--it stimulates the nervous system to release hormones like adrenalin, which in turn speed up metabolic rate. An increased metabolic rate means more ability to burn more fat calories. More calories burned means less weight gain--a happy correlation.**

Constructive and positive comments welcome.

Any change toward the positive is commendable, and valuable, and everyone goes at their own pace! Never lose heart, keep fighting and changing at your own speed. The New Christine

"This is it! There is no turning back now." she said to herself as she stepped forward. She had prepared for this day for months now and was not going to make excuses any more. As she opened the door she took a deep breath. She could smell fresh air warmed by the sun. It was refreshing; as if she was waking up from a long, dreamless sleep. Sara Livingston
