How I Lost 60 Pounds On Weird Stouffers Lasagna Diet
Friday, August 1st, 2008I’ve had several ups and downs with weight throughout my life, mostly due to poor food choices when I was little and spending summers on my grandparents farm where the ice cream and mashed potatoes & gravy flowed like alcohol at a frat party.
I came from a family with little money, and when I wasn’t [...]
The Ideal Way To Start Every Day
Friday, May 16th, 2008Have you ever gotten off to a bad start in the morning and then everything else afterward in the day just kindof fell apart?

"Greg! Thank you so much! I will not forget this! Your help will make it easier for me to secure a job when I get back home from Switzerland!"
"Dude I hate to write you about this again but those nutrition tips you sent me were a fucking godsend. Anyway, I do appreciate ya... you're a good egg."
"Dear Mr. Greg: You are creative and amusing... two things I find irresistible. If I didn't live so far away, I'd go after you myself! Thanks for all the laughs."
"Hey thanks for all the stuff on girls and relationships. I was up reading last night for like 3 hours. We had an earthquake not too long ago here in California, but man, some of the stuff you wrote shook me more than the quake!"
"I have to say, you provided several hours of entertainment for me just now. It is a great thing to know there are other people with similarly twisted senses of humor and intelligence. Thank you very much Greg Thompson, and good luck with the woman of your dreams. Should you ever feel the need to entertain me again, please feel free to do so, I'll take it any way I can get it."
