Ed,

Hey, I liked your answer but I didn't think that was waht the P-vine, bless her heart, is lookin' for. She says she needs to loose an inch around here waste. Now that really complicates things 'cause how many pounds is an inch? Like I said, me the the Wes Ginny slide rule ain't sayin' nuthin' except, "You look great, P-Vine!" I mean, I know the rules here.

But that inch thing does seem to throw in an extra variable. Like, to loose an inch in the waste for a 200 pound person verses a 150 pound person would seem to me to involve more pounds being lost by the heavier person because of that Pie-r-sqaured stuff and girth and gander and stuff.... Heck, this is way over my head...

Okay, lets say the P-Vine is like 5'6' and weighs like 145 pounds and shbe wants to take one inch off her waste, given that for each 3500 caloric deficit at the end of her day and she looses that pound, how many pounds will it take to loose the inch?

And I'm going to just let her read the responses later tonight 'cause I'm sticken with my "You look great!" line and ain't budgin' off it.

But thanks fir all this help. She will be amazed to find that Catfolk ain't a bunch of knuckleheads...

Well, so long as Dougie doesn't weigh (no pun intended) in on the thread...
