Things people have suggest me to lose weight:
-Diet Pills
-Oatmeal Water everyday
-Ginger tea w/ honey every night
-Pineapple water everyday
- ONLY fruits everyday!
- Just water for 3 days out of the week! (now I think this person was trying to kill me)
- a cabbage Soup diet
Honestly why do people want to lose weight so fast! There is no magical diet that can actually help you lose the weight you need to lose and maintain it, in a healthy way. I rather eat 1200-1500 calories a day of healthy stuff and lose 1-2 pounds a week than to hurt my body and lose "5-10" in a week.
What have people suggest you to do??

Chewing gum, apples and diet coke only for two weeks. Yep, I said it.
This was an aquaintance of mine, she's bigger than she ever was now. Worked a treat she told me!

Good for you for talking common sense! I wholeheartedly agree. Will we get frustrated when we don't lose as much as we hoped in a month? Yes. Will we stay healthy and keep the weight off by using balance/variety/moderation. Absolutely.
P.S. Oatmeal water? Gross.1 -
Don't forget
- No carb
- Lemon water
- Brush teeth when hungry
- and last but not least: SLIM FAST!2 -
That is some amazing dedication to be able to stick to that kind of crap.
I'll never understand how these celebrities can drink lemon water with Cayanne in it for three or 4 days…
Screw that give me food.
Maybe I'm a glutton… Okay I'm probably a glutton…
But I don't care brother be fat than drinking lemon oatmeal whatever…
See you around
You're looking great by the way.1 -

Girls all over my facebook are on Herbalife at the moment to get their 'Summer bods'. Sick of seeing it!0 -
this girl I worked with said to lose weight you had to only eat one big meal at night....she wasn't the brightest crayon in the box!0

abolutley agree and you my friend is DOING FABULOUS!!0

I used to be one of those people who liked to lose weight fast, but I ALWAYS gained it back. This time, I'm eating my way to skinny. It's slow going, but it's working - and maybe I'll keep it off! I usually do Atkins (low carb). I'm still watching carbs, but I'm not obsessed with it.
EPICMEYRI - you're absolutely right! And you look great!3 -

Ewww, and I thought Ally was bad with the anal leakage. That may cause anal flooding!0 -
Just generally things like:
"when you want a cookie, think about how skinny you'll be."
Ummmm no, I don't WANT to be skinny, I want to be healthy, physically AND mentally, so if you'll excuse me, I'll have that cookie now.7 -
did the popsicle/pickle only diet in highschool.dropped 50lbs in no time. lol.0

It's taken me a long time but I'm finally starting to realise that it's not about losing weight fast, it's about changing yourself into a slim person. Think about it this way - large people:
* eat too much
* eat the wrong sorts of things
* move too little
Slim people:
* eat the right amount
* eat the right kinds of things
* move the right amount
My goal is to stop being in the first category and start being in the second category. How does cayenne and lemon water fit into that? Answer - it doesn't, so it has no place in my "becoming a slim person" plan. It might help you lose 20lbs, but you'd put it right back on again because you hadn't changed your large person habits into slim person habits.6 -

Are you just taking slim fast? Or are you eating food too? And are you working out? (not judging just curious)0 -
Don't forget all the diet pills that make your heart race - and then 2 shakes a day with only one meal - or HCG shots and a 500 calorie diet - these things might work for a short time but not a perm solution - excerise and a healthy clean diet is the way to go for results that last1

There's a meal shake out there, atkins advantage I think it is called that isn't loaded with sugar- I bought some chocolate ones for mornings when I am super late or having a chocolate craving. There is some sort of supplement that people in my area are taking, I can't remember what it is called, but appartently it works by making you run to the toilet if you eat fats. My husband mentioned it to me, he said he was laughing at all the local people on Facebook talking about their bathroom habits for the world to see! TMI:blushing:1

What about those wraps , where they wrap you up in plastic lol........................ and the machines that work miracles (yeah right) and cost a fortune. No for me there is no more quick fixes, it took me a long time to get like this and won't be fixed over night, slow and sure for me this time because this time it is forever!1
-
I remember those days...every "magic" pill I wasted my money on. all that ever happened was I got fatter from them. I tried starving myself too. I tried diet shakes...I tried cereal diets...I tried grapefruit diets...all ended before 3 days and I got fatter. changed my lifestyle and now eat more veggies than ever in my life ( I crave them) and I WORKOUT and LIKE it OMG!! I learned to read labels learned to stop buying 90% off my meals pre-package and processed. I learned how to not eat fast food and I learned what MODERATION is.1
-
I hate when people suggest those kind of things to me!!! I mean, if it took me this long to weigh this much, I'm not going to lose it overnight, or in a week, or a month, even a year. Jeez people!!0
-
I've been seeing the 3 day military diet and tried it unfortunately
worst decision EVER! and the wraps also along with hydroxcut and slimquick! 0 -
Double corset.....heck NO I want air in my lungs!0
-
It's amazing what reducing the portions of food and a bit of exercise can do for your weight! Crash diets are just too ridiculous for me sometimes...yikes!0

''When you feel hungry just have a coffee instead''...way to end up a quivering nervous wreck!0
