Milk Diet
I've been watching My 600 Pound Life, and when I ran out of those I started watching Fat Doctor, a BBC show. The surgeon on that show puts his patients on a diet to shrink their livers and bellies. The milk diet. You drink 4 pints of "semi-skim" milk, whatever that is, for your day. They do this for a month. HOW DID I…

Low Sugar Recipes
About two weeks ago I felt like I was gaining back some pounds. I've been maintaining for well over a year and threw out all my "fat" clothes and have nice things now that show off my new waist, etc. So I wasn't happy about this little round belly that seemed to pop out overnight. I was unhappy about it but having trouble…

Pickles!
Pickles are a great diet food, especially sour dill pickles. They're kinda fun to eat, but admit it, they're also kinda nasty and take away your desire to eat any other food for a while. And they're, what? Five calories each? What a bargain! Pickles, minty gum, Fisherman's Friend. To stop mindless eating, find things that…

Grinding wheat, making dough
Hey! I'm all obsessed with grinding wheat berries into flour and keeping a semi-sourdough dough going all the time in my fridge. It's so easy! As a household of one, I don't need that much flour, so rather than shell out $$$ for a large electric grain mill, I bought a Cuisinart coffee grinder that does the job very well…

I'm so angry at myself!
In Jan 2013, I joined MFP and over the next few months lost the 15 or so pounds that made me feel and look SOOO much better by diligently logging food and exercising. Then my father got very ill and in fact died, and I fell off the program-- at first only a little bit, but then I became ravenous as my BODY tried to get…

Women over 60 - question
Any women over 60 eating 1600 or more cals and losing weight? I could probably maintain on that but not lose, no sir! I'm irritated by topics started by 22 YO girls, saying how 1200 wouldn't keep a bird alive and they eat much more and lose weight. And the 20 - 30 YO men telling US how much to eat! Don't get me started.…

Men's Health Diet Hot Dog
You may think this is a joke, or can't possibly work, but it's not and it does! If you miss a good ol' hot dog on a bun with the works, this one's for you. (I got it many years ago from Men's Health. I can't remember why I was reading Men's Health.) You take a nice cylindrical medium-sized raw carrot, peel it, and kinda…

My weight is all over the place
I am doing everything! Why don't I see some progress??? PS- my "starting weight" was a guestimate. Then I went down, now up a few days in a row. UP! How does that even happen? So frustrating....:mad:

Never felt fatter!
Hi all- I've been doing this for a week and I'm a little discouraged. The site tells me to eat 1200 cals. plus eat back what I burn in exercise to lose 1.1 pound a week. I have actually been having trouble cracking 1100. And even that feels like too much eating and not enough losing. AND... so far I don't notice any weight…

Chunky Monkey - let's get real
There are a bazillion posts and bump-ups about this cookie recipe but how many of you have actually made it and eaten them? I just made a batch tonight, and honestly I am disappointed. I can think of other ways I would rather eat 100-150 calories. I much prefer the 2-cake-mix microwave cupcakes for instance (40-60cals.).…
