I also think it's a bad idea. I actually stopped craving all this junk after about 3 months into my new lifestyle. I don't know... you say - about twice the calories of your regular healthy day. It would be about 1500 extra cals for me, this amound of calories would "undo" my efforts of three days. Not worth it.

Thank you for sharing guys. Actually I have read pretty much everything by Dostoyevsky. I am Russian and in our schoold it is mandatory to read at least three of his books. I just wanted to see if people in the US like him.

Are you mistaking this forum for pro-ana message board?

I bought mine on Ebay for about 15 dollars. It works just fine.

I quit sugar cold turkey about 2 months ago. And let me tell you: I have never felt better in my entire life. I feel great physically - no energy ups and downs, no "sugar rush", no sleepyness during the day! More stable steady energy! And what I love the most: I feel amazing mentally. I used to be a cheesecake/chocolate slave. Now I don't care about it al all! Yae, I can walk past cookies in the supermarket and I do not want it. It is very liberationg. I used to sabotage all my healthy eating efforts by sugar cravings. Now it's totally gone and I am losing weight and actually enjoying it.

I would probably be ok with the idea of the pill, but I do get bad side affects. 10 days ago I started bleeding in between two periods. I thought "no big deal", I read that spotting is ok. But it has been like a full-blown menstruation, I have been bleeding for 10 days and I guess lost a lot of blood AND I have to constantly be on vicodin (which makes me feel like crap) or ibuprofen because it hurts pretty bad. It sucks. I made an appointment on Tuesday with different doctor.

I really hate that so many women put themselves through it. I hate it how media makes cellulite some kind of a desease and a horrible flaw. Just think: would you hate your cellulite if you have never hear that it's "bad" and "unattrective"? As you said - 90% of women have it. IT IS NATURAL! There is nothing you can do about it, except learning to love your body even with it. That's pretty much it.

Helen looked disgusting. If she is really 5'6 than 117 pounds is very underweight for 48 year old woman with children. It is. I seriously think that those who make the show should not let them drop below normal weight... it is not a good promotion. She looked sick, her face that used to be so cute became ugly. There is no way she did it in a healthy weight, she perhaps had to stave herself... That gao between her legs, lack of breasts. And she overdid with tan. This is just not fair.

Thank you so much :) I really needed to hear that. I have no idea how much I have lost, on some reason I am afraid to weight myself. The scales are right there, but I decided to to step on them until I like what I see in the mirror.

And yeas, I am going to stay at steady 1200 cal per day.

Helen shpuld have gone home when she fell below the yellow line with Kristin. C'mon, just look at her! She is not anywhere near overwheight anymore, she is very fit for her age! In fact, her legs are very skinny, she does not need to be there anymore.

I actually found that anything "light"/"fat-free"/"low-calorie version" tastes horrible. fat-free sour cream, fat-free mayo and dressings, skim milk, light tofu are disgusting. So, no thanks, I'd rather add two tablespoons of real sour cream to my salad and it will be delicious than gag at fat-free ranch dressing and feel completely unsitisfied after eating it. The only exception - Yoplait light yogurts.

If you give up salt you will lose some water weight in the first couple of day, it will not last for month :) But yea, it is quite possible that those 3 pounds are water held by salt.

Hey, just yeasterday I had a canned soup witt about 80% daily value for sodium (on top of my usual salt intake). And today I am 2.4 pounds heavier and my stomach is so bloated. No salt day today for me.
