Here's a blicky (Discovery) for the Discovery Channel thing. (Commercial though it may be, I'm not against any help I can get!) I just heard about it from a friend of mine. He and I are going to do a weight loss "contest". This is an attempt to capitalize on each of our somewhat competitive natures and to make the task somehow palatable.

One thing about such a challenge between the sexes, it has been fairly well documented that men and women metabolize and therefore lose weight quite differently. We've designed our challenge to see who can lose the target number of pounds first -- he's got to lose twice as many as I do -- and there's no real time limit.

I'm not coming up with any of the specific articles we looked at right now, but if your own search for specific material about the differences between men & women isn't satisfactory, PM me and I'll find a couple of decent links to send you.

Peace,
