I later discovered that in French, fleur de lune is a common name for the plant called peace lily (spathiphyllum)-- and that in English, moonflower refers to several night-blooming plants. I see from googling that your own username is a giant prehistoric bird. Have a lovely weekend.

My username is fleur_de_lune. We have mutual friends. I want to learn about leptin, so I will be reading what you have on this blog, and the materials from the team which you leaded (or is it lead?

And I hope that if I can get into ketosis, I will lose about 150 more pounds.<br /><br />I had never heard of Dr. Birdie until I read your comment here. I will be reading up about her.

I did get a popular blog post award for my anniversary post, and my page was frequently featured for my community involvement. OTOH, Dr. Birdie has started posting as a guest blogger, and is the official non-dietitian nutritional expert. I think that is one reason why they had to scare off the other birdies. I am not a doctor, I am a medical researcher, but like Dr. Birdie, I also lost alot of weight.Exceptionally Brashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13177479330600606059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19636934974176166.post-29736777560512387812011-11-28T11:11:45.840-08:002011-11-28T11:11:45.840-08:00Wait, I thought YOU were one of the experts on the...Wait, I thought YOU were one of the experts on the site! Aren't you a featured monthly blogger or something? Interesting.<br /><br />I've found some of the nutritional advice to be contradictory at times, but I chalked it up to (me) not paying close attention. Perhaps there's more to it than that... I'll be reading more of your posts over here.Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10800864673813334725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19636934974176166.post-68115202767644245132011-03-22T09:11:42.856-07:002011-03-22T09:11:42.856-07:00Gotta love the power grab.....Is such an effecient...Gotta love the power grab.....Is such an effecient way to develop respect in one's underlings.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18263822937206318446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19636934974176166.post-17964421324461655222011-03-18T20:20:36.111-07:002011-03-18T20:20:36.111-07:00I love it too, but mainly for the social aspects, ...I love it too, but mainly for the social aspects, not the diet.Exceptionally Brashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13177479330600606059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19636934974176166.post-60649402194706474052011-03-12T09:29:31.617-08:002011-03-12T09:29:31.617-08:00I also disagree with a lot of what the so called &...I also disagree with a lot of what the so called "experts" have to say on Sparkpeople!<br />It's very hard at times for me to keep my opinions to myself (and sometimes I don't)<br />I feel bad for the new people that join the site that have no clue about losing weight...The "experts" will tell them that it can take up to 6-8 weeks before they see a loss-huh??
