Question of the Day

In an effort to keep the board hopping and to get to know each other, here is another icebreaking question. What's the craziest diet you have tried? or other method(s) used to lose weight? For me, it was back in the early 90's when I was working as a Clinique Cosmetics Diva at Burdines. I was so stressed and depressed not being as thin or feeling as pretty as my peers at work. I went to GNC in the mall and talked to one of the clerks there. They recommended a product that was supposed to "clean" me out and help me lose weight quickly. I bought a huge canister of this stuff called "Colon Cleanse". Now, imagine watching me race through the store, running up the escalator in my white Clinique lab coat to make it to the bathroom in time. Boy, was that something I wish I had never tried, especially while at work in a public place!

Hey Amy... I think the craziest diet I've ever tried was this crap called Miracle Drops. I was like 14 and my older cousin was selling them. He wanted me to be his guinea pig!! So I agreed. And all they did was make me hungrier. Karee

I never did a really crazy diet, but I did Optifast for 6 months and lost 72 lbs. That involved not eating for 3 months and having weekly sessions. It was a good time in my life, but obviously did not last because I could not maintain the strict food and exercise plan for the long term. I am hoping that this surgery will help keep me in the straight and narrow on a long term basis because my biggest fear is to regain the weight again. Pre-Op Jan

Amy, I missed yesterday's question, so let me get caught up. Right now I share my house with 4 cats. None are mine. One is my Grandson,his Mom will not let him have it at home. All four are girls, this one's name is Princess.Then my son has one he found in the engine of a mercedes benz at work. Needless to say her name is Mercedes.Then I rent a room to someone who has two that she saved. The little one is Patches, she is tri-colored.Then she has a black with white named Maxi.My Grandson also has some turtles in my patio. I do not know their names nor do I care to get to know them, sorry. Now today's question. It was in 1973 I was on a diet where I had to give myself shots in my upper thight once a day. I ate most baked chicken and broccoili and not much more. I did lose 100 lbs. I was very small after and stayed that way for three years, when I was expecting my second son. After he was born, then back up it came a little at a time. gail

Craziest diet..........well, I was on the cabbage diet for about 2 weeks. I ate nothing but a soup made of cabbage, onion and tomatoes. It tasted pretty good but after two weeks I had lost about 12 pounds but I was so weak, I couldn't stand up very well. Kinda did me like you, Amy. I was a produce manager in a small store. Had a hard time looking that cabbage in the head everyday.
