I know I said this before but just make sure you can afford those hidden expenses before you buy. People say "buy buy buy" because it's a buyer's market but there are a lot more factors that need to be considered.

Whenever I feel like it :flowerforyou:

Also consider the hidden expenses of owning a home. New homeowners often over look the small things that really add up in the end. Not only do you need to consider the mortgage but you also need to consider: Security deposit Condo fees/HoA fees Homeowners insurance Maintenance Water Gas Electric Trash collection Property…

I guess not, but I would feel bad taking my food to the person cooking at the grill and say, "can you cook these for me?" I would feel weird bringing my own food to a party like that unless I were a diabetic or had an illness that needed strict dietary guidance. Why not eat before going to the party, that way you can avoid…

That's exactly how I roll, except with the grilled chicken sandwich with no sauce. My nutritionist recommended the small chili+ ultimate chicken grill....love wendy's!

oh god :cry: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

Driving across country.....moving from Vegas to Maryland.

Himalayan Food Tibet, Nepal, India Eat like a sherpa. I had fantastic Himalayan food the other day, going back for more tomorrow!

Oh goodness, that's a lot of money. $650.00 for 10 sessions is not worth it if you're motivated enough. Since you're a member at 24 hour fitness, why not attend a fitness class that incorporates weights? For example, I do a lot of step'n'strengthen where the first 45 minutes is step aerobics and the last 15 are free…

Skinny Cow Ice Cream Minty goodness late at night Savor every bite.

I have an old blood stain on my mattress that I just discovered and I need to get rid of it. I know to use cold water as hot water cooks the proteins in the blood but that's all I really know. I hear to use unseasoned meat tenderizer and hydrogen peroxide. I also heard to use Oxy Clean. Can anyone verify these solutions or…

Many people make the mistake of thinking you can never get too much protein. They associate protein with growth and assume more is better. They couldn't be more wrong. Once your body gets the amount of protein it needs, it converts the rest to energy, and if you already have enough energy, it is converted to fat.…

Exactly. it has too much sugar and salt to be allowed in my household. They have low sodium or low sugar ketchup but it doesn't taste the same. I just substitute ketchup for spicy mustard. Delicious!

Men don't change....remember that.

On my Polar F6 the strap comes in two parts- the electrical device that reads your heart rate and the adjustable strap that comes with it. The adjustable strap can be as long as you need it to be and is made out of a soft fabric that doesn't rub into your skin or anything. It took me only a few minutes to get adjusted to…

eww :grumble:

Hello fellow Las Vegan! I go to the gym at UNLV but the 24 hour fitnesses here are pretty decent. I wish you tons of luck!

It also depends on how you wear your jeans/skirts/shorts. Do your skirts sit higher than your shorts? Do your shorts sit lower than your jeans? I wear a size 8 Lucky Jeans and they sit on my hip bone; however, my shorts are a size 10 because they sit a little lower. My skirts are really tiny because they sit just below my…

Do it only if you think you have a problem. Every post you sound as if you're consumed as you consume. Personally, I believe your repeated habits of overeating needs to be addressed by either a professional or in a support group such as overeaters anonymous. 1 dq ultimate burger, 1 super size fries, 1 super size pop, 1…

They also have a lot of sugar :sad:

I'm moving out of town from Las Vegas to Maryland next week and I've been doing a lot of dinners/breakfasts/cookouts lately and it's killing me! I threw out my diet diet for these dinners and I'm patiently waiting for things will get back to normal after next Tuesday! My body is not used to these meals: Denny's Non-soy…

I wear my heart rate monitor and go to exercise classes at my gym. I do classes like step'n'strengthen, step interval, cardio kickboxing, etc. In Step'n'Strengthen we'll do 45 minutes of cardio then do weights and core exercises immediately after. I stop my heart rate monitor when I'm done with my entire workout and don't…

Congratz! WOoOWOOoOOOoOOOoOOoooooOOOooo!

Get your *kitten* to the gym.

I don't know....calling my family often, smiling when walking, not wasting energy on gossip, sitting in silence for 10 minutes a day. Where's the fun? :sad:

I'm one of the people who has troubles eating her calories. I'm 5'4 and 136 and 1500 is a huge number for me. I believe that as you continue your new lifestyle change, your body will become more accustomed to eating less calories. How many calories were you consuming before you started to lose the weight? Going from 2000+…

If you want to show your fiance that you really love him do this: Slap him on the *kitten* and serve him dinner. Men like that. Open his beer for him too before serving it to him. :flowerforyou:

I showed this to my boyfriend and he said, "The Price is Right is _The Price is Right_ She'll get over it." Welcome to my world, darling :flowerforyou:

You could always just do Zumba, a fitness program inspired by Latin dance. Zumba combines Latin rhythms with cardiovascular exercise to create an aerobic routine that is fun and easy to follow. Inspired by Latin dance and music, Zumba uses a variety of styles in its routines, including cumbia, merengue, salsa, reggaeton,…

I'm a little unsure about aloe vera juice. Sure it's great to heal burns but drinking it serves what purpose? Hydration? That's what water is for. If you're short electrolytes then enjoy some Gatorade. I'm curious, what are your reasons for drinking aloe juice? I went to MayoClinic.com and here is an excerpt from an…
