Welcome. :-) It's starting weight/present weight/goal weight.

Please look for the daily FAQ posting, which has links to a wealth of
information. It's titled "FAQ: A Beginner's Guide to LowCarb
Living".

Take care,
Carmen

??? I guess it's my newsreader, but I've been reading this NG for about
three months and I don't think I've ever seen a post with that header.

The OP is referring to the three numbers often shown following somebody's
signature, such as

210/170/165

or something along those lines. Not at the top of the message, and not the
number symbol, but actual numbers.

I understand that, and know what the numbers are about. The reply post
said to look
for the "daily FAQ post". I've never seen one, and scanning back over
several days of posts
in my newsreader, I can't find one. Someone who replied did post the url for
FAQ, but I've
never seen the "daily post" that the person mentioned.

Thanks Jeri, I appreciate it. I do wonder about the daily post though.
I've gone back
through several days of posts and can't find a post with that header, which
makes me wonder
what all I'm missing with this newsreader.

You're welcome.
Not all news servers get all posts and some days are better or worse than
others but if you're concerned that you may be missing a lot you can go to
Google Groups and compare what you see in your newsreader to what's archived
for a few days.

Others may be able to suggest alternate news services that you can sign up
with.

I wondered that too. I think it's weights in pounds, referring to:

Original/Current/Target

For fun (!) we could get silly with that sort of thing and go
for a whole geek-code-like string. Here's mine:

248/241(246.3)/167/68/39/m/3/1

Original/Current(optional current ten-day rolling
average)/Target/Height-in-inches/age/gender/Days-on-diet/Number-times-I've-t
ried-low-carbing

(Clearly I usually spend too much time eating and now am getting bored...)
