...their overall battle with the scale. If you become physically active, it's hard not to lose at least a little more than you gained, and that little can mean a lot. Normally the greatest weight-loss benefit comes from the first few pounds you shed. A 240-lb. man who drops to 230 lbs. is healthier for the 10 lbs. he lost. But the 10 lbs. he dropped from 250 to 240 may have benefited him even more. "Even the first 5% of weight you lose is very helpful," Cheskin says...
...exercise can't get you all the way to your metabolic goals, it may get you partway there. It certainly appears to have worked for Sandy Schaffer, 47. The 5-ft. 5-in., 280-lb.

In that bygone, sweat-drenched era, staying in shape just wasn't an issue. Indoor plumbing? Now that was an issue. Working out? Never heard...
...iPod Minis and 2.5-lb. laptops, it was just a matter of time before somebody stuck a hard drive into a PDA. That's right: 4 GB of built-in memory is what distinguishes LifeDrive, PalmOne's first new line of handhelds in 2 1/2 years ($500; palmone.com) from competing Palms and pocket PCs. The extra memory will get you far businesswise. You can archive quite a few PowerPoint presentations, for example, and a GPS street-level map of the entire U.S. Built-in wi-fi and Bluetooth wireless networking (plus infrared and USB ports) let you juggle e-mail...
