Let's see if it works


So I've been dieting for a month now. Every time I lose 5-7 pounds, I fall off the wagon and gain it all back. I just can't get below this magic number that I don't want to be. I joined the "millions" who have supposedly tried this... the 48 hour diet. My plan is to lose atleast 5 pounds in the 48 hours (not really expeciting to lose all 10 like the ad says). Then, when the 48 hours are up, I'll start Slim Fast. It's already in the fridge getting cold. I've been exercising and keeping up with the calories burned on fitday.com. Yesterday, I walked and ran for thirty minutes around our yard. What's great is Brant and Evan walked and ran with me. Anyway... I'm working on the first glass of many. It really is pretty good. It tastes like grapefruit mixed with orange juice.
I need one of those groups to belong to that weigh in every couple of weeks. You know... like a "biggest loser" thing. That way, everyone else would be losing the pounds and I'd have to or they'd all know I cheated on my exercising or diet. That way I'd have to skip the angel food cake/strawberry/whipped cream thing I ate earlier. However, I did see it on a Eat Healthy show. I'm hoping to start one of those groups at church. We'll see in a few weeks if it happens or not. Has anyone tried this 48 hour diet? Just wondering...
