So does diet soda.
Just kidding
Baking Soda-make a paste with a little water. That's all I use. (nm)

Coffee and a big cup of ice water so far...nm

I am a smoker! I agree with the alcohol. I use rubbing alcohol every day on my equipment. sm
I smoke, bad habit I know, but I can't stand the smell either.
Other than Slim Fast has anyone had any luck with OTC diet products or diet pills? nm

Water here, too. I fill water bottles halfway and freeze them
so I have ice water for the entire day. It's easier than trying to cram ice cubes down the little mouths of the bottles. I confess to having coffee, Earl Grey tea and a cola today because I'm too tired from the idiots who were rodding their cars around in front of the house from midnight until 3:00 a.m. last night. Oh, well. At least I'm off today.
Coffee just always smells so darn good, doesn't it? I drink 3 cups of coffee... sm
in the morning (used to be 4) w/Nutrasweet, a little regular powdered creamer and a little liquid French Vanilla creamer (yes, I do like it sweet!) If I'm really sleepy and need the boost, I'll have another cup or two.
Then I immediately start drinking diet Dr. Pepper, and not the caffeine-free kind. Love it. I drink diet Dr. Pepper throughout the day and night, about 6 cans a day (it used to be diet Coke). I've joked with my friends and family that it might be time for them to hold an intervention for me with the Dr. P.
I do sometimes worry about the mass quantity of Nutrasweet I consume each day. Anybody else?
POTS of coffee? Wow...I have 2-3 cups of half-caff coffee with just milk each day. Any more and I
s
The great southern coffee... Community Coffee...
People who grew up with it and have moved have it sent to them now or stock up when they visit Louisiana.
Try cutting out soda and replace with
Green tea. I don't know if it will work but I cut out all diet pop this week and have been drinking diet green tea...Arizona brand, Lipton Citrus, and I've been making my own just with tea bags. I'm also 43, lost my dad in October, really depressed here in the Wisconsin winter, and a week ago I was at my highest nonpregnant weight. Well, let's see, actually I weighed about the same as I did at the end of my pregnancy with my first child back at age 21...and I gained 50 pounds during that pregnancy! So...not so good. I can't go all the way on induction again, but I have been watching my carbs this week, although I really believe that even without that, this green tea is helping curb my appetite. I used to sit here and grab a snack and always be munching on something all day long. I haven't been as hungry and have hardly been snacking during the day. I'm also not falling asleep in my chair at 2-3 every day. It might be a little change you could try and see if it works for you. One other thing I've done...I've actually gone outside and walked. I work all the time and never make time to exercise, but I was feeling at my wits end and very depressed at getting to that weight. So, on Sunday before anyone got up, I went outside and actually walked for nearly an hour..and it was 32 degrees, although sunny. I've done that 4 more times this past week, when weather has permitted, and I mentally feel better. I've lost 8 pounds this week with these little changes, but mentally feel much better and am just taking it one day at a time to keep it up.
baking powder or soda for height...nm

anybody remember grape nehi soda?
They don't make grape like that anymore.
Leftover chili, mango soda and coffe.

Baking soda, opened and on its side, in every corner
Cherry coke from the soda fountain, mmmmm (nm)
zzzz
What's up with the alcohol?
What's up with the parents thinking it is okay for their kids to not only drink, but get plain drunk? I see this everywhere I look--scary. My neighbor's son just turned 17 and is smoking and drinking and his mom is like, oh well. The other night as he was leaving with some friends she yelled, make sure you get a DD (designated driver). Now isn't she a responsible mom? Crazy if you ask me. She'll be the one crying when something happens. Hmph.
But you might want to have some alcohol
to wash out some of the toxins from the coffee and diet soda! Red wine has flavinoids, which are an antioxidant! LOL!
If it isn't a real high traffic area, sprinkle baking soda on it, leave it overnight,
and vacuum it in the morning. Good luck!
alcohol was illegal once too
Alcohol was illegal at one time too..Marijuana should be legalized, there is no reason not to legalize it. It will be legalized one day soon, Im sure. It is less harmful than alcohol.
Because, as a Christian, alcohol was not an
option for me. 
50/50 alcohol/vinegar
Works for me!
LOL There is alcohol involved in that
message. Lucky girl.
rubbing alcohol.......inside and out...nm
oh ok - and legalized alcohol drinking....N/M

Help on word board please -- alcohol KZP? -nm

Milk, Cream and Alcohol...
Oh, that's too funny with the doc prescribing a cycle of beer! There's an old blues song with the lyrics "Your doctor put you on milk, cream and alcohol." Maybe it's the same doc!
Windex or rubbing alcohol on glass :)
I use an alcohol prep pad to clean the dirt off &
the corner of the packet it comes in I slide between the keys all around and I get these big dust bunnies that I just pull out with my fingers. I also turn it upside down and shake it once in a while too.
clean the heads with an alcohol prep, if
you have one, or take out the ink jet cartridge and using a gentle wrist motion, turn it up and down a few times and replace.
cover with thiamine and (s/l) serafellon for alcohol abuse
Got no help on word board. Running out of time.
Thanks in advance
Once a week, I clean my headset ears with alcohol.
Then swab out my ears after showering with Q-tips with alcohol on them. Keeps the itching down to nothing, and the ear wax doesn't build up that way, either.
except I love cooking w/alcohol/wine in sauces!!

Similar problem-rubbing alcohol mark..nm/TIA!
I keep alcohol pads at my desk to clean the sponges on the earphones.
That takes away the itching and keeps the bacteria away!!
try a raw diet
First have your dog's liver enzymes checked, also the pancreas. Someone told me that toxins come out through the dogs ears, especially labs. Then, check into a raw diet for your lab. Believe it or not, chicken wings, chicken necks, or turkey necks - raw - and raw fruits and vegetables (no onions or grapes). My sister's lab has pancreas problems, his ears smelled awful, and the vet was no help. She checked out raw diets and her dog has been doing fine for the past two years. Her lab has the most beautiful white teeth, no smelly ears, very little gas, lost weight, and is happy. As a last resort, try BeanO. (PS, if you want to stick to a kibble food, try Flint River Ranch - that is what I feed my dog).
Okay! So much for my diet! I'm going to try it!
 Sounds yummy!
diet !
 Your way sounds a lot more appetitizing than the Healthy Choice dinners I am living on! SO boring, but I have lost 10 pounds in 10 days! Only 18 to go! And I too am walking 2-3 times a day which really seems to help. Once with the dog (he is pokey!) and then by myself so I can walk fast.
Diet
Funny you asked that because with my medical background, I know that what you eat can have a big influence on how you feel. I also have hypoglycemia so I should be eating well.
I honestly do not have an appetite. I didnt eat anything at all yesterday and the day before I ate 4 chicken nuggets from Wendys.
This morning I feel a little hungry so I will probably eat some rice and black beans. I have that and oatmeal. Its cheap and filling.
I used to eat like crazy... now I don't eat at all. I used to get sick when I felt kind of dizzy from not eating after a few hours. Now I've gotten used to the feeling and having really low blood sugar makes it hard for me to concentrate on one thing but I can't get food stamps because I don't have any kids or anything. All well... Anyway, that's what I've been eating.
Meat in your diet?
That is a misconception that we need meat in our diets, we do not need meat at all, there are many other sources of protein out there to substitute for the meat, please go to the many vegitarian sites for more information.
try a low sodium diet
When I was first diagnosed, I went on a strict 2 gm sodium diet. It is amazing how much salt is in foods. My ENT gave me a small booklet I could fit in my pocket to carry around with me to count sodium. It reduced the amount of fluid in my ears, which lessened the vertigo and the tinnitis. The shocking part was that I lost 20 pounds without trying! I never went hungry at all. I felt better than I had in years.
I have also found that keeping my sinuses clear helps with a lower level of tinnitis. Wine intensifies it 
good luck,
d~
I have never tried the diet, but I know lots who
have, including my DH. I have never known anyone to keep the weight off once they come off the diet. While there have been various studies as to healthiness/unhealthiness of the diet, I don't see how eating high fat foods came be healthy. I do know that the diet throws your body into a ketosis, which gives you terrible breath. When my DH was on the diet I asked him not to talk while in the car because his breath smelled so bad. He worked with a woman who said she wondered why people would back away from her when she talked.
I think low carb is a good idea, but I don't think high fat is a good idea. I'm not a nutritionist, just makes sense.
Diet Board please

How long have you been on the diet?
?
OTC diet pills
My daughter was able to lose about 10 pounds on Dexatrim - that is before they had to change the formula - our best results have been with Atkins for quick weight loss - 7-14 pounds in a week in our family. Lots of meat and cheese - and no cheating.
Anyone try Shangri-La Diet sm
Just wondering if anyone has heard of or tried the Shangri-La Diet.. and if so what did they think about it? Did you lose any weight? Just curious, need to lose that 20 pounds.. or so...
Anybody out there taken any of the new diet pills with
Just curious if any of these work or if they are a scam like most others. If anyone has taken any pills that work let me know. (I know they are not good for you)
Liquid Diet
My brother-in-law lost a lot of weight doing a liquid diet (not sure for how long, though), but he gained most of his weight back.
yeah, know that...this diet was only for four days...
no salt, etc. but it works. Called the "four day wonder diet." Could not, would not do this for more than that! Yukky, no flavor. But it kicks in the fat burning thing... Thanks for your support....Back to some "tasty" "live-it" foods! :)
cofee....diet pepsi...

Smash the Fat ... aka Take-Control Diet sm
The name of his book is Take-Control Diet, and there is a sample menu on the VH1 site that lists chicken breasts and sirloin, so ...... not too scary
