- I don't know about "diet plan X", but I've met Gordon Banks, and you'd
- never know that he used to weigh however much he said he did (some 300+
- pounds when he was in college, and he must be in his 40's now.)
- Which is not to say that he doesn't struggle with weight. Part of the
- problem with keeping weight off is that too many of us start struggling
- again much too late. :-) Losing 5 pounds is easier than losing 15 which
- is easier than losing 50, etc...
