Hope that clears the mud. 
(I could last on KE/Kimkims maybe 3 hours  )
PS--as an aside and I think someone mentioned it--Jimmy likes his frankenfoods. I wonder what would have happened if he just cut out his frankenfoods for 3 months and went by the book? (What a concept  ) |
Thanks Lisa! That does help. 
as for his liking frankenfoods.....not surprised as his weight range in maintenance (215-248)tells me that he has not really learned to eat to maintain his weight and that he'll always be looking for the next "diet"  ... not a great role model, if you ask me!! |
