Supplement 1: Stages of Dieting

Introduction: Why the other diets just don't work
So many of us have tried them all: Weight Watchers, Atkins, South Beach, none of them work. Some of them help you learn how to get the weight off, but the moment you stop, BANG!, you're back up again. Well, that sucks, doesn't it?
That's because the diet industry, all of it is, is designed to make sure that you, the average overweight American, don't succeed. After all, if you finally lose the weight and keep it off, than suddenly you don't need to keep buying their stuff. And they're out alot of money.

Here on C-C, though, we can teach you, from experience, how to lose weight, how to keep it off and we don't even charge!

Back up to page 1 with you

I seem to be getting into a daily routine of bumpage

This is briliant!!!  Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!

You have answered all my questions!!!!

Hi, I know this sounds dumb but where is this book or did you come up with all this yourself? Either way thank you for your help this is very useful :)

Nope. No Book. :) Perhaps one day I may publish, though :)

Also, BUMP! :D

hkellick,

Thanks for all the time and research that you put into this.  I have tagged this and will refer to it often.  Great work.  You should have it published.

*bump*

*bumped* for a new member

hkellick what do you mean when you use this expression:

 Also, BUMP!

Sorry I am unfamiliare with the terminology

smiles :)

**bump**
noticed a lot of new people and figured this was great info that needed to be shared!!

Bump just means I'm putting this back in the 'Active Theads' view. There's no way, yet, to "Stick' the thread to the top of the boards. :)

ba-da-bump

Because this is just very helpful....

Sure would be great if we had something like this that was as easy to read and all about exercise....

:)

Well, gosh, than I have great news for you! PandaJenn and I are going to write such a post! :) I don't know when it'll be fully ready to post, but... it should be a good 'un. Stay tuned! XD

(*quietly slips nomo $5 for the promotion )

Yay!!!

(Doesn't mean I'll exercise, though..... but at least I'd know what I should be doing! :-) )

I just have a quick question...this may sound dumb....but I want to start a forum and can't figure out how...is this because I am blind or can I  not do that? If I can, can someone please tell me how? Thx!

I assume you mean a new Post.
