There's less of me to love, and I'm absolutely Volcanic!

Be aware of the side effects, change your diet, increase your activity level. Then go buy some Donna Karan pants.

Jen dear,

It is only wrong to light your would-be sabotuer's hair on fire if you fail to dance around them yelling "The roof! The roof! The roof is on fire! We don't need no water, et. al." Don't skip that important step.

Thank you sweetie for the RR & C.

Best regards,

Tom

What's with that? (Reply to this comment)
by nifer
Why is it that whenever we try to do something better for ourselves those around us try to sabotage our efforts? The same thing's happening with me and my friends who still smoke -- it's always, "You know, just grab a cigarette if you want one, the pack's right there." Instead of throwing red M&Ms at them, I light their hair on fire. Is that wrong?

Anyway, it MUST be true love because everyone puts on the pounds when they're comfortable and truly in love. I'm not surprised 'cause Jack sounds dreamy...

Oh, sweetie, they weren't high-fat treats, so I did enjoy a few. Thank you! And my interns aka: Minions Who Do My Nefarious Bidding thank you as well.

Thanks for your RR & C, my feline friend - they mean a lot to me.

Best regards,

Tom

Hiya Pauly!

Glad you enjoyed it - I would just re-state the "check with the doctor" part for you. There may be other natural herbal things that can help, um, move things along. Check out the posting by trphilip in this category. He did a 48 hour Cyclone diet that might get you started.

Best o' luck with the weight loss. A tip - chasing your little 'uns around is a fun way to burn a few calories.

I kinda like triathalon_gazelle, myself.

Best regards,

Tom

Tom Ol' Boy:

Did someone say pep talk?

Dude, you laid it all out (pun intended) for us and sold us on this stuff.

But, my misfortunes include not only my all-time heftiest weight, but recent indications of blood pressure problems (which nix me from some of the dietary wizardy available to schlubbs like me in search of lopping off our paunch).

While I've always thought of "husky" as a positive word, I'm starting to move beyond the realm of chubby into downright fat.

Something's gotta happen.

- Pauly

P.S. Of course, if I loose considerable weight, I'll have to change my moniker to soccer_cheetah or marathon_greyhound.

You know how I love comments. And here's a group response to all...

Imokliel: The thought of you on this stuff frightens me. If you do start taking it, let the President know and he can send you after Osama.

zzJulia: I am into my third week of wonderful sleep and I look and feel terrific. Try the kava kava alone if that's an issue for you.

susidee34: I have long suspected that Donna Karan's men's line was her getting even for male fashion designers making uncomfortable clothing for women, but she does the same thing to you gals! What gives?

Freak369: Thank you hon!

roxymarie: You are my muse, along with Psycho and the scent of Lysol.

Copernicus: Thanks buddy, and I'm downright svelte these days!

Urb: Some things just defy description in ANY language.

jgibson2: Thank you dear!

lynnzop: Thanks, and I am confident that the lifestyle changes will keep it off. You can't take this stuff for more than 12 weeks.

pluckyduck: Thank you, but I'm not sure if these poor little stockbrokers can handle Tom with a 'tude.

4-1-1: I did not mean to ruin your lunch, kind sir, but health is sometimes not pretty.

Suzer: Thank you, and I may email you anyway to compare notes...

SurgRN911: Thanks and let us know how it works!

bwyckoff: "Corker" is NOT what the brokers are starting to call me, but I'll suggest it!

Thanks all, your feedback means the a lot to me!

Best regards,

Tom

I should try this... (Reply to this comment)

...I used to be the scrawniest person on earth, at 135 and 5'9. Now, it's still 5'9, but about 200 pounds, and that is not muscle mass. I'd like to get back to about 180, but I am lazy, so who knows?

interesting note on the Kava Kava. Someone recommended it when I was stressing out during the bar exam and I've been curious about it ever since.

Regarding Jack's comment..... (Reply to this comment)
by copernicus
I'm fairly sure it involved unprintables and an enthused suggestion to "hold your guts in, for the love of God!" Anyway I loved your review, I must admit I laughed out loud and that doesn't happen too often on this site! Keep us up to date with the love handle situation too ;) Cheers,

Well, another reason to look forward to the calendar. (Reply to this comment)

Thom ...

By all means, don't let Nirav Tolia cause you to hold back on the details of your sex life. After all, the facts of who put what where and to what effect might indeed motivate someone to purchase this product.

Hey, you started down this path ... ;)

Now that I've gotten THAT out of the way...since I've been successful on the Weight Watchers plan myself since May after being unsuccessful with a plan that sounds somewhat like the one you are on, I'll be curious to hear how you maintain your weight loss. Do you quit taking the supplements after a period of time?

Oh and BTW, those Donna Karans DO look fab on you, Tom-ster.

Thanks for the gross-out alert (Reply to this comment)

That's quite a startling thought to ponder.

I guess its true that some of us old farts are full of shi...t.

I think I'll set my sandwich aside for right now.

An enjoyable, well written review Tom. I wish you had emailed me before getting involved with a cop though. Sigh. They are soooo manly and protective. I know, I was married to one, but. . .

Anyway, congrats on your healthy weight loss and wish you the best with your relationship!

I actually laughed out loud at this review- you probably talk the way you write so I can imagine what a corker you are. The Viagra in the toilet is what you could have titled this thing.
