Re: No Supervised Weight Loss History?/karon

July 17, 2001

my diet history was mostly just things i did on my own. i started it

off with my very first diet at 12 years old. and then just thought

back to all the stupid diets i tried while i was a teen, including

my " carrots and tomato juice " 30 day diet. just something i made up,

and lost 25 pounds on it. didn't eat carrots for a long time after

that. lol then thought about the diets i tried after reading books,

like stillman, atkins, sugarbusters, carbo addicts, etc; if i didn't

know the exact dates i just approximated my age when i tried it and

figured it out from that. it's not rocket science, just a good

estimate. that was good enough for my insurance company.

hope this helped.
