Liane, I always felt I was an average if not slow loser. I'm attaching a

..jpg screen shot of my Excel weight loss chart up to this point. Along the

way, my rate of weight loss has progressively tapered off until things

stabilized a few months ago. Since then, my weight has been remarkably

stable, sometimes fluctuating up to 158, but usually sticking right around

156.

I am right at the end of my weight loss window, at the nadir of my weight. I

expect that -- or should I say won't be surprised if -- my weight goes back

up a bit before I'm done. In all the published reports, and according to Dr.

Rabkin in a conversation with him, it is pretty common for us to reach the

nadir, then jump up 10 pounds or so before finally ramping down a tiny bit

to our final final weight. Time will tell!
