The Weight Loss Program that Doesn't Work

After almost two weeks of sickness I think we're finally starting to feel better. It seems like I was the last to finish up, and I'm grateful to say I'm done being sick. At least for now.

I learned a valuable lesson though while I was sick. During our illnesses Doug lost 7 pounds and I lost 3. We were both very excited until we started eating solids again. I don't know about Doug, but 2 of my 3 pounds came back a little too quickly. So, what was the lesson learned? Starving yourself and bulimia are not a good diet plan if you're wanting to loose the weight and keep it off.

So, the next time you're in the market for a new diet plan, keep my advice in mind. The weight WILL come back! My advice? Forget dieting all together and enjoy a candy bar!

I'm glad you are better. I actually have the flu and it's not any fun! So, in answer to your question on my blog... yes, I believe I was telling you about this program when you first moved here.

OOOOH....I am so glad you are feeling better! Thanks for your advice...I will have to remember that--and in the meantime, I will sit here with an oversized carmel brownie... :)

I am so glad you all are feeling better. You have been in my thoughts a lot lately. You two are funny...loved reading your "tagged" comments. Also I took your diet advice and enjoyed my cinnamon roll today :)

I love it! Your posts always make me laugh (the diet part, not the part about you being sick :) I'm so glad you're feeling better!

I agree with you! You shouldn't have to worry about losing any weight though! I will never be able to catch up (or should I say down) with you! By the way I loved the tag questions! They were funny
