I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm giving up! I weighed myself six times last night, and I didn't lose a single ounce. Then I broke down this morning and had four turkey sausage patties and two slices of provolone cheese. Now I'm probably going to have a salad for lunch.

Oh, I think you get the award for best reference to myths.

Best response so far. Because it includes some science!

Put that salad on top of a Baconator. Everyone is on the money. Protein and fat will make you feel full. Deli ham and honey mustard. Poached chicken, apples and pecans.

Thanks for the feedback. My sleep schedule has been a mess lately. And it has caused me to miss some meals.

I don't usually miss a meal, either. But life throws some curveballs.

I am an ex-smoker, too. This morning, I had a handful of corn chips before breakfast. Tonight, I had butter pecan frozen yogurt in a sugar cone. I stayed under my calorie goal. I'll wake up about 1/3 pound lighter in the morning.

Smear some hazelnut spread on your banana. It's the best snack!

I have midget porn and Vienna Sausages. Oh wait. They're both midget porn. My bad.

Wow! What a coincidence! Most of the people on this diet have only posted 1-3 times on the forum, and all of them have great things to say about this diet.

Most people have too much sodium. This can cause water retention and bloating. Some foods expand in the stomach during the digestive process. This is normal and is not a cause for concern.

There's nothing wrong with eating carbs. If you want to make a change, try eating more fiber and less starch.

Are you eating back all of your exercise calories? if your net is 1,500 but you are really eating 2,000, that leaves more room for error in calculating your meals. Make sure your Cheerios is measured accurately. A serving of Cheerios is not a whole bowl. I usually eat three servings. That fills up my bowl. It's okay for…

Be the inspiration that you want to see in the world.

Figure out your TDEE and eat that to maintain your weight. Your ideal weight is about 125 pounds. So you don't need to concern yourself with losing weight. If it's really that much of an issue for you, you can burn 150 calories per day through exercise. That will allow you to lose about 1 pound per month. After five…

I haven't tried that many "diets." Years ago, my mom had a book by Martina Navratilova. She was a tennis star, in case you didn't know. I don't know the name of the book. All I remember is that she advocated eating lean meats, veggies and lots of carbs. She recommended pasta and potatoes. Today, people would freak out if…

You know why you want to look good at that wedding? Because nobody will believe it! Aside from the people on here, I doubt anybody believes you can do it. So prove them wrong. The greatest benefit you will get will not be how you look in a dress. And I doubt it'll add a lot of years to your life. The greatest benefit will…

Obviously, you need to make better choices. But nobody needs to tell you that. What you need help with is understanding why you are making the wrong choices even though you know that they are wrong. The first problem that many people have is that being overweight and out of shape contributes to a general sense of lethargy…

To be honest, I can't tell much from those photos. I think it's great that you're proud of your hard work and success. But I think the difference is difficult to measure right now. If you stick with it, I am sure the difference will be more noticeable in the future.

Has anyone tried drinking gas? Because I'm selling it for only $6 a gallon, and everyone I know who uses it loses A LOT of weight. Most people don't lose much for the first few days. But once decomp really kicks in, weight loss is rapid.

Unless you are logged your meals and unless you open your diary, there's really not much advice that anyone can offer. You made it sound like you've been skipping dinner six days a week and are eating salads with no dressing, cheese or salad toppings.

I like good beer. I don't much care whether it's an ale or a lager.

My mom ran a daycare in Central Illinois. She charged $85 a week per child. When we moved to Florida, my kids were in daycare. It was about $100 a week per child. These days, prices might be a little higher. But I bet I can find at least a dozen places that will charge me less than $700 a week. So I think you're…

no salad vegetables? nasty snake venom?

What is Jenny Craig? When I want easy access to food, I buy a jar of peanut butter and a loaf of bread and a bunch of bananas or a bag of apples. There are lots of microwavable meals in the frozen foods section. They may have a lot of preservatives, but they're fast and fit into a healthy diet. Also, I make big batches of…

A 1 in 100 million chance means that there is less than a .00000001 percent chance that you know me. And, if you're rounding to whole numbers, you'd round that to zero. In fact, if you were rounding to the nearest one-millionth of a percent, you'd still round to zero. If this is too complicated for you, I suggest college.

So my kids are psychologically damaged? I don't see that on their report cards. All I see are A's. Maybe I'll notice in their behaviors. Let's see. Neither has been in a physical altercation at school, neither calls kids names, neither is a bully, both respect their peers and believe in being friendly and treating everyone…

We'll round off the1 in 100 million odds to zero.

Wow. This is the first I've heard of this. i wish you were in our school district. It's very inexpensive.

I guess ignorance is bliss. Because there's no way in hell that you could know a single damn thing about my education.
