Losing weight will cost you ... about $1600 for every pound!

How much does it cost you to lose a pound? If you're anything like an average woman, it could cost you $1660. A recent study showed that of a study of 2000 young women, this was the average amount spent on each pound of weight loss, on items like weight-loss programs, DVDs, gym memberships, equipment and specialty foods. Over a lifetime, most spent over $300,000. Yikes!

That's not all -- there are even more alarming statistics. For example:

• 90% of women surveyed have gone a full day without food. 30% have gone two or more days without food.
  
• Half of the women questioned said that losing weight meant eating less than 1000 calories a day.
  
• 30% have taken diet pills
• 30% have made themselves throw up
• 11% have taken speed or cocaine to rev their metabolism.
  

Good lord. These are some alarming result, don't you think?
