Hummingbirds flutter their wings 80 times per second

OK I'm going to give you some tough love here. Smoking is really disgusting to everyone around you. Your friends who don't smoke will smile and say "sure it's ok" but it's not. Being near someone who is smoking is hell for non smokers. Having smoke drift over into our space and having to deal with second hand smoke is…

Hi Ashlee- welcome! One thing that's helped me is not to think of this as a diet at all....like you said "lifestyle change". I need to keep the mindset that this is how I always need to eat.

That the Earth is 6000 years old.

I am going to Hawaii in late September with a group of friends, and am the most overweight of any of us. I want to be able to wear a swimsuit and feel confident.

If it works for you-go for it! I tried it a few years ago, and found that I didn't like a lot of the meals they offered and ended up choosing the same ones over and over. It got pretty repetitious for me, and it was really expensive.

Because not everyone is the same.

I'm not a doctor, of course, but it could be from withdrawal from something you've cut way back on like sugar or alcohol. If they don't subside soon I would go see your doctor just to be safe.

I actually count them out. 28 exactly :-)

Day two going strong! Same breakfast and lunch, dinner was baked chicken breast (no skin) and green beans with my usual two glasses of measured wine. yay me!

I do it twice a week. Daily doesn't work for me because weight can fluctuate from one day to the next for something as simple as water weight.

So I got the Oh Yeah birthday cake bars....wow, super sweet! It's really like eating a piece of cake. I could only eat half at a time, which is probably good because they have 200 calories and 24 carbs.

After so many people gave thumbs up to the Oh Yeah birthday cake bars, I got some on Amazon Prime. I'll let you know!

I've tried Quest cinnamon roll and another one I can't remember the name of.

Where do you get sugar free wheat bread? I have cut out bread completely and it's kinda hard to make a turkey sandwich :-) This could be a way to have one!

I haven't been counting calories at all. I'm counting carbs- keeping them under 75 per day. I'm mindful of calories, and watch my portions, but I'm not counting them. I've lost 3 pounds in 10 days.

Yum!! banana bread

Yum. kiwi fruit

Wow I was just thinking about this because I had my annual physical this week and my doctor told me that losing weight is about 80% dependent on calorie intake and 20% exercise. She stressed that exercise is necessary for overall health and to keep doing it, but when it comes to actually losing weight it's more about food.

He stole my hubcaps

Recently I was walking my dog in the park, not feeling particularly pretty. I had just got out of bed, hair in a tie, no makeup. A guy who was shooting hoops stopped me and introduced himself. He said he's noticed me walking my dog there before and wanted to tell me he thinks I'm beautiful. I about fainted! It's been a…

I'm not blowing anyone off. If you read my original post, I was not asking for any advice-- I was looking for people who had actually done it to share their experience with me. A few who have done it did respond, and I appreciate that very much. What I did not appreciate was unsolicited advice from people who have not…

Ok to those of you who are sending me private emails telling me how stupid I am and that I got scammed, please stop. My original post was merely asking if anyone had done it. I wasn't asking anyone's opinion of my decision making ability or how I choose to spend my money. Geez, lots of judgemental people here who somehow…

I wasn't actually doing it to specifically lose weight. After being in Europe for two weeks eating a lot of cheese, wine and rich food, I like the idea of two days without alcohol, caffeine, solid food. Yes I know I can do all that without the juice, but the claim is it's supposed to rid toxins. Maybe it's all hooey, but…

So, back to my original question- has anyone actually done it?

Well I already paid for it and it's in my fridge so dammit I'm doing it. Also, it's not just "juice". Some of them look really dense with veggies.
