a fatty meal and what happens later.
Mindy, Heather, John, Paris, and Sam all live on the same
street.Mindy's mother, Dr. Sara
Lawson, is a medical doctor, a heart specialist.
After Sam's grandfather suffered a heart attack, Mindy, Heather,
John, Paris, and Sam decided to start their own health program, following Dr.
Lawson's suggestions.They named
their group: The Pound-Watchers.They almost named their group the No-More-Kisses or Pop Club because
they ate chocolate kisses nearly every day.Each member of the group also drank about 3-4 servings of
carbonated drinks daily.Dr.
Lawson told the group that she would monitor the groups' vitals and keep charts
on the following data: blood pressure, pulse, weight loss, and measurements.
After six months, Mindy and Heather had both lost six pounds.Sam had lost about seven pounds.John and Paris had both lost a little
over twelve pounds.Although John
and Paris had lost more weight than the rest of the group, Dr. Lawson put John
and Paris on a more rigorous health plan.

A new study shows that complex problems are best solved
by teams of three, four, or five people, compared to
people who tackle the same problems by themselves or
with one other person. Just ask Patrick Laughlin, PhD,
and colleagues from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. They published a study on the topic
in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
