Hi Dennis, I find this idea intriguing. Change is the whole idea behind self experimentation after all... I think in the beginning (when I first joined) I was...

I was in a second hand store... I found a box of 8 cassettes for weight control. I've been trying to unload the 10 pounds I gained over the winter. So... for...
