That should do it Dave, although I doubt you'll have to run this for very long. Do you have a specific goal in mind?

Good luck Dave. I saw that he now has articles featured on Arnie's site too.

Thanks Friends. I'm going to try and stay below 200lbs and get a little cut going on.

A lot in my circle have been raving about this program, probably because they are affiliates adn get a kick back! LOL But anyway thought I'd give it a go.

So we will see where it takes us. Probably should do some pics and stats too..
