	For those of you interested in some research on weight
loss see Smithsonian, January 1986. The article doesn't offer
any solutions (sorry gang!) but it does discuss some interesting
research in the area. And unfortunately, not all the news is good.
For instance, research has shown that each time your weight
yoyos it gets more difficult for you to lose the weight the next
time. From personal experience I've found this to be true, and
I've only lost more than 10 pounds 4 times in the last 8 years
(and each time I never lost more than 20 pounds). Our bodies have
a terrible knack for returning to same the weight every time.
