Folks have been asking me some questions and now it's time to answer. 1. No, I'm not taking any of the supplements yet. 2. I did weigh in last week and just never got around to posting the results. In the two weeks I was od-ing on Dr. Pepper and traveling part of the time and following the diet part of the time I lost 1 1/2 lbs. 3. My starting weight on Sept. 9, 2004 was 274. On October 6 it was 255 1/2. I weigh in again tomorrow.
