...Value (in his 40s) rightly signed on for more risk, though less than he wanted at first. His worthy goal: equal parts value and growth; a roughly equal mix of small, large and international stocks totaling 80% of his portfolio; 15% in bonds and 5% in cash. To keep costs down and take on risk slowly, he's going to exchange funds in tax-deferred accounts immediately, getting partway to his goal. He will finish the job during the next 12 months as he invests new money. The best part: with a plan in place, he's already sleeping...
...wardrobe and enter a strange and secret new world. As a big kid back in the early 1990s, I found that world in the Internet, which was maddeningly difficult to get into and inhabited only by wild and woolly creatures.

Since losing a pound requires eating 3,500 fewer calories, in about a month your extra 2 lbs. should be gone. Keep them off with a sensible diet, rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grain. And don't forget to exercise. As for me, I'll be working on an extra 6 lbs.--and that's a lot of cookies to resist...
