August 1, 1998 was D (Diet) - Day, the start of the Gazpacho No-Cook Diet, the first virtual diet. Everybody is invited to join in the effort to shed those excess pounds with this healthy diet, ideal for the hot summer months (at least where I live). The experts say you should just weigh yourself once a week, but of course nobody can resist. But we'll stick to the rules and give a weekly report.

Personally, my weight is top-secret, so I'm going to start at zero. If you want to participate I'll be glad to add your name, or nickname, or whatever. Just send a message to bentley@mclink.it.
