Last Monday Bob invited me to come down to Johnny Lewis' boxing gym to watch him sparr Solomon. It was great to watch. It was to help them both prepare for upcoming fights, with Solomon fighting on the Mundine undercard, and Bob fighting Francois Botha in South Africa for the interim World Title.

Both Solomon and Johnny were absolute gentlemen, taking time out to have a chat and giving me free reign to take as many photos as I wanted.

Here's one of myself, Bob Mirovic, and Solomon Haumono. To give you an idea of the size of these blokes, I'm 5'10" and 87kg.

 

Some 400,000 starter kits of diet pill alli (low-dose Xenical) are being shipped to pharmacies, grocery stores and retailers around the United States in preparation for the June 15th launch of the first FDA-approved over-the-counter diet pill.

Alli diet pill has already been approved by FDA and it will be launched on 15th June. Preparations are going on for the launch of over the counter diet pill. 400000 starter kits of Alli diet Pill(low dose Xenical) are shipped to pharmacies, grocery stores and retailers around the United states. according to Glaxo Vice President Greg Westerbeck.The pill is expected to retail for around $60 for a month's supply, based on a patient taking three before-meal pills a day, and Glaxo executives told reporters June 11th that the company is hoping 5 million to 6 million Americans will give the nonprescription diet drug a try.Alli is a half-strength version of prescription diet drug Xenical (orlistat) and works by reducing the amount of fat the body absorbs from food. Undigested fat is eliminated through bowel movements. kept the far-more-costly Xenical from ever becoming a blockbuster.Glaxo executives said they expect most patients to take the diet pill for about three months, though there is no limit on how-long one can remain on the drug.Glaxo has prepared 250 pages of educational materials on alli to accompany the starter pack, and also hopes to sell 200,000 copies of a diet plan and 800,000 copies of a book to help dieters combine alli with a weight-loss program that includes dietary changes and exercise.Read the complete news article here:Dietdrugreport

I was reading an article on Blogtipping yesterday, which is where on one day a year you make a post about 3 different blogs. It got me thinking and I though "why only one day a year?". So I'm starting 'Fitness Shout', where I will shout out and tell everyone about funny/inciteful/informative blogs out there in the blogosphere!

1. The first is Renee Gets Fit. I came across this site a while back and I duck across every now and then and just see how Renee's getting on. She has a great group supporting her so get over and take a look!

2. The second is a very popular site called Diet Blog. If you want to keep up-to-date with the latest info in the media on weight loss then this is the place to go!

3. The third is one from our own FOH members. Mel Bedggood is one of our forum moderators. On her site you'll see all her training programs, and the recipes for all her meals!

Want to tell me about your blog? Just send me an email and I'll take a look (this does not mean that it will get a shout though! :)
