This ol' dawg still weighs the same as 20 years ago.....It takes me 3 miles a day on the treadmill to keep thin nowadays, but type II diabetes runs in the family. No thanks.

Come to think of it, I still have a big old CRT television too. Maybe there really is a correlation.

I have a fat tv and a thin tv, I eat more watching the fat one because it is near the kittchen. the thin one is up stairs far from the kittchen. How does that sound.

My weight is reversed, actually: in 1990 I had ~25%BF; now, after ~90 days of P90X, it's below 10%BF.
I've had the LCD TV for 3yrs and no correlation with weight there...

The thought of having to stick myself with a needle twice a day keeps me religious.
