From Paige Waehner, your Guide to Exercise

If I had to admit the dumbest thing I've ever done to lose weight, it would have to be the time I went on the 'Grapefruit Diet' so that I would look thin and beautiful and Troy Williams would notice me in the lunchroom.  The idea was to drink grapefruit juice for both lunch and dinner, after a normal breakfast.  Which I did...for exactly one day. And lost zero pounds.  And Troy Williams didn't notice me.

High school is just sad, isn't it? 

Luckily I learned a lot from that experience, which allowed me to write my latest article, discussing some of the most common stupid things we do when it comes to weight loss.

And, if you want a slightly happy ending to the story, I did eventually go out with Troy and found out he was really, really boring.  All that work for nothing.
