Im on the Jr Mint diet. I'm really good all day and at night, when I raid, I allow myself one box of Jr Mints (2 if its been a really bad day). I realized I just have to have something chocolate at night and those things hit the spot while also consuming too much makes me sick of them. It keeps me from snacking anything else and oddly enough, I've been dropping weight. I've already lost 8 pounds over the course of a month without doing anything extra (besides chasing sick kids around all day long ha!). And thats on top of the 14 baby weight I gained, plus 18 pounds off from baby vampire (31 pounds off since June!)
Smoking... one day I'll quit for real. But right now its my only link to sanity at times and I figure smoking vs. jail time for losing it one day, smoking wins hands down each and every time. Maybe when the kids move off to college

Yeah, it was looking at Hannah in the backseat and finding her pretending to be a grownup by smoking a crayon that made this time a nogoingbackIquitsforrealz thing.
I figure the second hand smoke is making the baby so stupid she thinks she can light a crayon.

I used to melt my crayons on the light bulb of my lamp. It would created neat colored globs of molten wax and, of course, reek like hell. You should invite me over some time so I can show Hannah that trick.

I've never been much of a donut lover...the exception being when you're somewhere that makes fresh donuts and you get them while they're still warm.

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
Well really Sammy, that makes me feel rather svelte. I mean, I'd have to gain .80 pounds per day to hit 800 by age 33.

I'm doing weight watchers and have dropped 15 pounds in the last two months. I was doing really well, then my car died at lunch today and we didn't have water at the office, so I had to have something delivered. The only place that would deliver is Papa John's. 
So I had about six cheese sticks for lunch, and I'm still hungry and depressed. And they weren't very good, either. So I'll have to have a really light dinner tonight.

1. Is your office plumbing supplied by rainwater runoff?
2. You were going to drink water for lunch? But lack of water made you hungry enough that you needed to eat cheese sticks?

1. No, they had a leak somewhere so they shut our water off for most of the day.
2. Sorry, I should've specified. All I had to make for lunch was soup... which required water. And Papa John's was the only place that would deliver here.
I'm assuming that the water would have been used to reconstitute emergency diet rations, i.e. soup in a cup.

Another thing that people don't often realise is that eating better makes you feel better.
Also, Acai Berries. They're natural oxidants and they help to boost your metabolism. Pretty much every health shop sells them. They really do make you feel good... cut out the junk, start eating healther, exercise a little, and for those of you who didn't listen to Hulk Hogan's advice, take your vitamins.
The hardest part is actually doing the exercise - finding the time and energy is difficult, especially if you have a family or work irregular hours.
Weight Watchers (or an equivalent) is fantastic and really DOES work, if you stick to it... most people don't, then claim it doesn't work. But if you don't want to do that, well, eat fresh fruit/vegetables, don't fry anything, and don't use lashings of butter/mayo/etc on your food. Cut down on things like sugar in your coffee, cut out (some) alcoholic drinks. Try to drink things like Diet Coke if you need your caffeine fix.
It really is that simple. It just takes a little bit of thought and forward planning... and a little bit of help from your friends.

Ugh, I don't care how tasty or healthy they are, I have heard enough about the acai berry. So much has been said about the damn things that I'm about to file them under "possible snake oil."

As I understand it, they're really not that much better than common everyday fruit. They're not snake oil. Not exactly anyway. You're just better off eating a variety of good fruits(especially blueberries) for a fraction of the cost.
As for dieting, I'm happy to announce that since I started weighing myself weekly(approximately 6 months), I've lost about 20 lbs.
My diet has been pretty simple, actually, following a few simple rules to help me deal with problems with the way I had been doing things.
Rule 1: Sleep more.
This had been a huge issue for me. I have trouble going to bed less than 4 hours after I get off work, but in order to make it to my nightly WoW raids, I would have had to go to bed within two hours of getting home in order to get enough sleep. The result was that a good day meant I got 6 hours of sleep, sometimes in the format of 5 hours + 1 hour nap. I had been compensating for the lack of sleep by always being hungry and always craving caffeine and sugar. Now I get a minimum of 7 hours, but most days I get 8. This has been HUGE with helping reduce food and soda cravings.
Rule 2: Less soda.
I drink two less sodas nightly at work(from 3-4 20oz bottles nightly). My consumption at home has only cut back by maybe a soda daily(two if I have a cup of hot earl grey tea with milk and sugar instead of a soda), but every little bit helps.
Rule 3: Stop eating out so much.
My roommates and I have been buying groceries and preparing food at home at least 5 days a week. That translates into two or three less out to eat meals weekly. Sure, we don't always eat the healthiest there either, but when going out to eat translates into 1200 calories before beverages, you have a fair bit of leeway on what you can cook and still call it progress.
I figure if I can get into the habit of working out more than once a week on average, I'd be set.

Tapeworm?

Tapeworm is easier of the two, standard anti-worming pill from the pharmacist will kill them if you ask for the right kind ^-^

Tapeworms are the greatest gift from God. You can eat whatever you want and still lose weight!

I've got this issue too, not specifically the weight loss though (Because then I'd look like Skeletor). The staying in a really low weight range even when eating far more than I should require based on physical activity. I'm chalking it up to a high internal energy proccessing speed.
Just as Planned.

Ah! brains use a lot of energy to run. Perhaps Sweetums has been doing more new or difficult intellectual activities this year?

I did not wish to reply to this thread as my weight depresses me. I'm fit, I'm quite happy. Old friends see me and tell me how much slimmer I look, how toned I look and yet .. I am the same weight as before.
I exercise so much and I need to diet too ... but that requires willpower and not eating nice things
Good luck Nexa
