We do not cut back on bacon. We buy better bacon and eat less of it.

@OMG! Ponies!: Or simply buy less of everything else, and buy/eat more bacon.

My gf and I just went shopping last night. Without realizing it until we hit the register we spent over $120.00.

@Anonymoose: Don't get me started about packaging getting downsized. It's getting to be now even if you buy the 'store brand' instead the savings aren't all that great either..

I find that the "get all of your wisdom teeth removed" diet works pretty well.

@Ethan Shaffer: You could also try the "get mono" diet. That worked for me in High School: lost 12 pounds in 3 days. It's easy when all you're doing is throwing up and you're not able to eat.

@KStrike155: Ah, yeah. I forgot that one.

When I was in high school, most of the football players got a weird sickness and they all lost quite a bit of weight. I can't remember what it was called, but it happened to almost every single one of them.

Hmmmmm I donno. I eat plates and plates of bacon, not kidding and I'm getting to the point that the superficial Miami people think its time not to lose more. I even went t doctors to try and figure out why I kept losing weight but they said that they certainly couldn't figure out why. Karmic payback for years of being fat in high school?

Plus bacon is pretty damn cheap.

Besides, as being a girl I must but completely new jeans that show off my shape. Belting doesn't do much here. Next thing I know I'll be walking around in leggings so if I lose more weight something fits me.

@LindsayJoy's MBP is into S+M: I wonder if the 70+ hours a week at Moto has anything to do with it??

Usually cutting back the grocery bill results in weight GAIN since most cheap foods are fatty or strachy and fresh foods, especially fruits and veggies are very expensive, and even moreso in off growing season.

@Curves: It depends on how poor you are to begin with. If you are rich enough to eat high quality foods, spending less means getting fast food that makes you more fat. If you are poor and are already eating unhealthy food, then becoming more poor means eating less food.
