Hey Jacob,

Szar is the short version of my last name. I have been called that all my life--wasn't called Mark again by anyone until I got to college.

As far as supplements go, I take Atkins Basic #3, Dieter's Advantage, and Essential Oils with CLA. I usually order them right from Atkin's website just because it's quick and easy.

I use only 1 scale, now. I outline this in the first post of my journal, but I never weighed myself until one day I went to a factory that makes hardwood flooring. I weighed myself on their loading dock scale and continued to do so until I dropped under 400#. I then went to www.drugstore.com and bought the health-o-meter duet premium dual display scale--goes up to 400#. It can be found here

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Mark
