New Features

Announcing five new features on the Pounds Off Playoff...

Pounds Off Profiles.  To add some interest and inspiration, I’ll be linking to stories about sports figures who have lost weight.  I expect this to run the gamut from ex-athletes who lost a lot of weight to improve their health, like the Charlie Manuel feature, to current athletes looking to gain an edge.

P.O.P. Art (Articles).  As I come across stories or studies that are applicable to the blog, I’ll throw up the link with a short summary or comment.

Restaurant Study.  Have you picked up a nutritional menu lately? I started giving restaurant menus a closer look as I was selecting my eating plans and three months later I have a study up on the site that illustrates the unbelievable statistics on restaurant entrees at 25 of the biggest chains.  You can download it from the link at the top of the page.  I’ll have more to say about this in a forthcoming post.

Rule of 7.  It can be so confusing looking at those restaurant menus.  I present the "Rule of 7" in the page links above that will help you make a quick assessment of the entrée choices.

Blogs, Hold the Roll.  A play on the “blogroll” feature seen on many websites, Blogs, Hold the Roll contains links to blogs that I think you might like or that are like mine in some way.  I’m on the lookout for weight loss bloggers who have a healthy approach, an interesting plan, and strong voice.  Fellow “quants” have a leg up.
