And if you haven't brought enough for everybody, than don't bother Sharon.   Anyway, just fillin up the space until the fatman comes back.  Barry and Al-

But, ummm, er, you kinda missed the point of the age thing. Mom had me late, thanks for brightening up her last days, she never talked about you, but then again she was quite old....wouldn't think she was your type actually, and no, that WAS a dwarf, my sisters are beauties....   However I DID find the suggestion for FC to eat the pesticides a bit irresponsible. FC, read the labels, make sure it's like Roundup, which breaks down into organic molecules within three weeks. Otherwise it might not be safe for you. B21 Al

Tracking your calories is sufficient for weight loss. The reason why you're recommended to eat more vegetables and cut back on your fat is that it's easier to eat a lot of vegetables and not go over your daily caloric intake. If your fat intake is dangerous, of course you want to cut it back, but if it isn't just leave it alone. Part of what's hard about dieting is not eating the things you want to eat. 50g of potato chips (pick a flavour, they all have about the same caloric value) is about 280 calories. If you actually bother to measure out 50g of chips, it's a fair amount! You can easily work this stuff into your diet. It's why the Weight Watchers program works for people; it's just caloric values and daily intake reduced to small integers. I use Calorie King to help me track my intake and exercise, and I've lost 6kg since the beginning of January, and my mass is still trending downwards.
