One post I remember was done by an actuary. These are very smart mathematicians who get paid the big bucks to predict numbers for insurance and pension funds.

I told my son's friend this and he was crushed. “Please don't ruin sports for me.”

It is almost Super Bowl Sunday. Statistics say that only 5% of people with health resolutions for the New Year will still be on track. Is your fitness equipment still out and are you still on a "diet?"
I lost "Half My Size" eight years ago by using natural methods. I started on December 5th and did not give up. You can do it too!
