Help me lose weight

It may mean that you want to be careful: Grandma always said that a pipe cleaner now and then was good, but that too much could cause you kidney problems. She told us this because Pipe Cleaner is good enough to drink just for itself, and some of the grandkids would. :)

Maybe, but it went aware. I lost the hyper-awareness of my kidneys. Besides, everything I've read from people who have done this diet has been positive. There's even supposed to be a little disorientation as the waste is getting filled out.

Its going to be weird tonight, to eat something other than Lemonade. I need to do it though, otherwise I might not stop fasting. And I'm not at a place where I want to do an ultra-low calorie diet permanetly. Maybe someday.

Heh ... according to How Stuff Works, my body needs around 2700 calories to maintain itself every day, because I weigh around 220 pounds. If I've been ingesting 1500 calories, that's 1300 a day. A pound is 3500, so that's 1 pound every 3 days or so. Its been nine days. What are we all going to think if I've lost more than the 3 pounds that it seems I should have?

Not ready to DIE, in other words. That's good. :D

That your metabolism is different than the average stated in How Stuff Works, either because you've been exercising more or just because you're YOU, and not an average. And, possibly, that you've flushed a bit of non-stored-fat waste that was clogging up the works out.

On a side note, why do you set your goal in stones? That's not very helpful because nobody uses that, so nobody knows what it means. Pounds or kilos work just fine.
I assume that's directed at me.

I use stones. Therefore I'm nobody. Nobody's perfect. :D

Seriously, millions of people weigh themselves in stones. But for the benefit of those who don't, I did give the pound and kilo equivalents in the opening post of this thread. Please have a look.

Besides, it only takes a moment online to find out what the conversions are. www.ask.com will tell you.

"My car gets forty rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it!" ;)

I'm sure I'm the only one doing the math on this one ...

40 rods is an eighth of a mile
1 hogshead is about 63 gallons.

So grampa Simpson is getting one mile per 504 gallons.

I'll refrain from political comment.

Edit: and with that, I'm gone for the night.
