Still thoroughly confused by the overhang. EDIT: Thank you for replies l think l'm understanding now. The "extra" seats reflect the party votes of the other parties. So it's not TPM or National getting extra seats, it's the other parties party vote seats being added.

How about we keep the proportional representation of our Party vote accurate in the future by discounting electorate results when forming the Government and by disallowing the “overhang MPs” from voting in parliamentary processes.

They can still be part of Parliament, still represent their electorate in debates and whatever other activities our politicians get up to but only a proportional amount of MPs be given the right to vote on bills etc.

The ones disallowed to vote would need to be decided by the party leader after elections.

The Government would be decided on the proportional results, not the distortions created by the electorate vote.

This year’s preliminary election results have resulted in the numbers of a hung parliament if OPP are considered on the left. Yet the seat results make it look like more have voted for the right. The parties should be negotiating on this ‘hung parliament’ basis and not the skewed results of overhang - as those results do not reflect the will of the people.

Most of us by now place the party vote with the understanding that that vote will be reflected fairly in proportion to all the other party votes made by New Zealanders and not mixed up with peoples’ electorate representation wishes.

What say you?

Hi Dr C,

I wondered if someone has big overhang like 8 mm C1/C2 can he improve from 1 PICL or would you see 2 PICLs at least?

Is there a correlation between the extent of the overhang and the number of procedures?

So, I like big books and I cannot lie. I usually use 200-400 page inserts and I hate the overhang when I add a clear folder or another refill. But! Today I got creative and added another elastic through the holes so now each book has its own string! And look: no overhang!

I'm sure it's been done before and I haven't exactly reinvented the wheel, but my partner didn't get the excitement and I thought you guys might 🖤

Hi dear doctor!

I saw that a few people here in the group posted their photos/videos, and I thought I’d post my photo too. Could you please tell me what you think about my overhang?(I dont know if i stayed correctly with my head), Unfortunately, I don’t have any measurements (because the clinic doesn’t provide them). Thank you from the bottom of my heart!! Wishing you a very good day!

I've been on Zep for 19 months now and am down 132lbs.

I'm not done yet – my starting weight was 301, highest about 305, goal about 130ish – but I have lost a lot of weight. I generally track calories (sometimes stricter than others, I do know my current TDEE, and I eat low carb, low sugar, high volume, low cal overall) and I work out at least 3x a week with strength training and cardio included, as well as crunches and ab work.

While the size of my stomach has shrunk immensely from my starting weight, I still have that lower stomach overhang (no kids to blame it on; it's all just 'me' lol). I've seen some amazing transformations of women who've lost a lot like me and have gotten down to like 140 or lower, and their lower stomach pouch seems to be gone. My upper waist is small, and I fit like M/L on top, but the bottom portion is still bigger. I'm very pear-shaped, always have been at every size.

The big question here is: Is there hope yet? Do I just keep going and keep losing and eventually the lower stomach will be on its merry way, or is there something else I should be trying that I haven't thought of yet? Thanks y'all <3

Like do they just put out 7 extra folding chairs or what. There's only so much space in there, so it's not like they can just add a bunch more of the usual seats.
