Weight Loss And The Theory Of Constraints By : Jim Bolding It's always been fascinating to me how business, finance and weight loss parallel one another. Take a personal bank account for instance. If you add more to it than you take out of it, your account will grow bigger and bigger. The same is true with your body.

If a business owner doesn't watch his busines...

Are Meal Replacements A Good Idea For Weight Loss? By : Rene Graeber Think about the number one reasons why people are overweight nowadays. Overweight people fall into one of two different categories. Either they have an unhealthy lifestyle – working long hours, eating out all the time, not getting enough exercise – or they simply eat too much, often in a compulsive way.

On Friday I weighed in at 183 pounds (90.5 kilo’s) and that is slightly up on last week.
