A pound a day? wow

I lost 9lbs in the last 2 weeks!

A broken heart really is not a bad diet. Now that I've lost that small amount, I'm 10000x more motivated to keep going.

I've been zumba-ing every day, sometimes 2x a day. My eating habits are still those of a broken hearted girl (yeah i baked a cake today, and yeah i love ben & jerry), but I'm slowly trying to fix those too.

radford, I have no idea how you do what you do couldn't do it, at all.

I seem to be keeping on the losing 1-2 pounds a week thing. certainly not fast, but i'm headed in the right direction. still looking for ways to up my excersizing, I did do 30 minutes of biking today, I'm actually not sure if that's the same or less calories than walking for 30 minutes

p.s. the trauma diet is right up there with the infectious diseases diet... some random african/asian bug that nearly kills you does a wonder for weightloss, although harder than the emotional trauma diet...

One bad habit I picked up was drinking beer again. I rarely drank that much since I was always susceptible to headaches and nausea since my sleep patterns were so poor. So if I drank alcohol , I was really asking for it. However, despite the cancer paranoia I have now I did drink beer but it was Coors so it wasnt real beer.

One thing Im confused on , there were articles claiming they found out out what really caused lung cancer from smoking cigarettes. The answer? Hydrogen peroxide.

Its been hyped in other articles. So if hydrogen peroxide exposure causes cells to become cancerous how come there isnt a wave of scares associated with hydrogen peroxide? In fact its been widely hyped by the fringe health nut community as a cure-all. The really fringe people tell you to drink it and that it cures cancer. Some dentists were pushing a baking soda plus hydrogen peroxide combo to kill germs in your mouth and neutralize the acids. I was gargling with the stuff because of that.

Im also paranoid about second hand smoke now. I never thought of it before but several neighbors smoke and I smell it almost 24 hrs a day. They smoke at all hours of the night and day. A guy below me smokes it comes up to my bedroom and various people smoke outside on the walkway , its always in the air.

I feel like getting some air filter but Im not sure if that would actually have any effect at all.

Hi everyone, I am new to this thread. I just started the HCG diet today. They have HCG clinics that cost $800+, but I bought my supplies online for $109. I bought drops that you use 3 times a day. Usually it is administered by shots. I will post with my results. I personally know several people that go to a clinic and they loose about a pound a day, but they spend big bucks. Don't let the FDA scare you into thinking this is unsafe. It is perfectly safe and it works. I am total conservative politicaly, but the governmaent may want to keep people fat for many reasons. Do some research on HCG you won't be sorry.

I don't recall ever posting in this thread so I'll try to keep it short on what worked for me. It'll blow your mind. How did I lose a smidge over 101lbs? Diet and Exercise. *gasp!* I didn't follow any radical diets, avoid carbs, etc...I cut down (keyword is cut down) the bad, and majorly upped the good. Nearly everyday (literally) I eat at least a couple things of fruit and veggies.

Wouldn't "The Chow Hound's Lounge" be a more fittin thread title?

after doing the dieting thing for the end of the summer, i lost about 5 lbs (after plateauing after i lost the first 20 so its been +/- 5lbs for the past month or so), and i have at least another 15 to go... my shoulder has been bothering me (dislocated about a year ago, never fully healed the way it was supposed to) so I can't do any heavy lifting or pulling, which limits my time with college starting again. i've been doing pilates and using my Bosu in the meantime. and i'm so confused with the whole zumba thing, there's classes offered here, but is it like a cardio dance class?

as for the smoking things, unless you are in closed quarters with someone directly blowing smoke into your face for at least 6 cigarettes to worry about second hand smoke. i wouldn't worry about your neighbors smoke as a cancer risk while its lingering in the air, while it might be an inconvenience.

there's a better chance if either you smoke yourself, or if you're in a small bar without the windows open for long periods of time for several times a week.

there are several toxic chemicals in cigarettes, news stories broadcast a new study that shows a link between chemical x and diagnosis y. yes hydrogen peroxide is toxic if actually ingested, but in small doses in cigarette form, along with nicotine, cyanide, etc, they all pose some risk, but it is not an entire cause, nor should you be paranoid about it. they all seem logical, but none are actually proven, despite the statistics they use so be cautious.
