" I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." ~ Michael Jordan I.E. Don't let one or two mishaps put you off. The important thing is to learn…

11) Wash yourself with dish washing liquid that claim to be able to 'dissolve fat'.

Bump!

This gets my vote and applause too....

I have a friend who went on a supervised 30 day water fast about 20 years ago and has maintained her healthy weight level since. For those that can see it through for 30 - 40 days the evidence is there that it works. It's not for me however. It is hard enough losing weight the conventional way and, like 'JohnnyBLean' I…

BUMP.

I don't want for anything so long as at the end of the day I'm close to my net calorie allowance. I also allow myself to go well over my allowance once or twice per month for parties, weddings etc....

Every time I walk into the bathroom and the scales stare up at me I jump on them, naked or clothed, for no particular reason other than obsession & curiosity. However I only log Monday mornings (dry weight & naked) to see how well I behaved over the weekend and again on Thursday mornings to record my real progress. FWIW, I…

First, count your blessings. With only 20lb to lose you won't have to worry about any loose or sagging skin - and your over half way there. Secondly, I'm guessing what may please you would be to work out and tone your body and build some muscle definition instead of just trimming down with dieting. I've seen the results of…

"Not feeling anything creepy he is definitely not the stalker type!" - You know him better than anyone in this forum. So, if there is nothing malicious about this guy I would think he really does miss you, for whatever reason, and he may regret the break up and drives past to check if you are seeing anyone else who may be…

The problem with the people who told me my target weight was too skinny is that they just don't know what I should weigh nor how to work out a desireable weight range. These days I simply tell them "I want to get to a BMI of just under 24 which is at the top of the range for my height". This response sounds acceptable to…

I don't think the cholesterol in eggs that is much of a problem, rather it's the amount of saturated fat in them. My cholesterol was getting high, so the doc told me to cut down on saturated fats. I did and my cholesterol went from 5.8 down to 4.1 within a couple of months. Cholesterol in foods is not that important for…

I don't know if anyone noticed but Dlmowrey stated in her profile "..had my thyroid removed 7 years ago". As "the thyroid gland produces hormones that balance all body functions, including your metabolism" this has gotta be a factor in her weight loss programme. If I were in this situation I would be consulting a dietician…

I am not sure what will work for you, however this is what works for me.... (I notice others replies are saying similar things). I'm less hungry when I don't skimp (or skip) on breakfast. I'm hungry if I don't have at least 4 glasses of water a day, I notice that my hunger increases if I have high sugar foods on some days.…

I have dropped 15 kg (33lb) and one shoe size. It never crossed my mind that this would happen and I'm surprised how much my feet have shrunk. I see others have replied with similar experiences so I guess it is normal.

I agree with ..."We're alllll different." If you don't like the taste, find something else. Personally, I didn't like yoghurt when I was younger but these days it tastes pretty good. I acquired the taste. One thing - if you can afford it, go to Greece and taste the real stuff. It tastes a hell of a lot better over there.

Prunes & prune juice has been the answer to constipation for centuries. Water, high fibre foods and exercise generally help. However, if I hadn't "gone" for 9 days I would be seeing a doctor. Constipation can become a very serious health risk.
