I tried Jenny Craig...sm
but after the first week I gained 3 pounds. They were dumbfounded. They asked if I followed the diet to the letter and I did but I am not surprised that I gained weight. I cannot eat carbohydrates at all. If I do, I get a terrible sugar low where I practically have to crawl to the refrigerator to get food. So, I went on my own diet. I ate scrambled eggs and coffee with regular half-n-half. Lunch was always tuna in a packet with chopped pickles or tomatoes or both and a green apple and a cup of coffee and dinner was always chicken and caesar salad or fish and vegetables, cup of diet soda, and then a cup of coffee afterwards. I did occasionally cheat, i.e. couple of Tollhouse cookies but not very often or I would go out to dinner and eat something fattening. I also exercised at least four times a week for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours at the gym. I actually started this in about November but started walking 4 miles a day two months before in September but walking never really did help me to lose weight. It was the gym. Walking just toned my legs. I would walk 4 miles a day and then go to the gym for about 2 hours. From November to June I went from a size 24 to a size 12. I LOOKED FABULOUS AND FELT LITERALLY REBORN!! By the way, I thought the food at Jenny Craig but very, very good. My favorite was the french toast with the berries. There was a veggie burger that I did not like so I just did not choose that for my meals. But everything else, I felt, was delicious. It just didn't work for me. Good luck to you. Get that weight off and you WILL feel reborn!!!!!!
Jenny Craig worked for me - no cooking.
Can be expensive, around 70 a week a few years ago, but I lost around 15 lbs in a few months.
Want to wish you success!
I am also on a diet similar to Adkins and have lost 3 pounds in 2 weeks so you go girl!! Water or not, it is nice to see the scale move. My mind is in the game for the long haul and that is what I wanted. The weight will come off (need to take off about 55 pds). I cannot exercise much due to other issues but the weight will come off! Again, good luck!
SUCCESS !!! :D - (sm)
Thanks again for your help. You were right: first turn on water, then power. I just ran my first load, and have just my first load of clean clothes in the dryer (which also works well), all without flooding the apartment, incinerating the clothes or the washer motor, electrocuting myself, or knocking out the power to the entire town. Because of my inherently distrustful nature, though, I WAS prepared for disaster. I had the drain tube weighted down in the sink with a heavy pot, so that it wouldn't jump out of the sink and flood the floor. I kept the slack in the electrical cord up off the floor, just in case. I created a 'floor dam' out of big towels around it, just in case the tub leaked. Finally, I put a wooden stool in front of the washer, so I could stand on it just in case the floor flooded, all he*l broke loose, and I had to somehow get to the cord to disconnect it from the power source without getting myself toasted. Fortunately, none of that extra preparation was needed. I also got online and did my homework about detergents. Good thing I did! Turns out these little mini-guys take only liquid detergent of the 'HE' (high-efficiency), low sudsing type. (I'm SO glad I didn't mistakenly put my regular-sudsing powder into it!) Not only that, but according to my online gurus, the washer only needs one TEASPOON of detergent per load. One teaspoon! Imagine that! One bottle of Wisk or Tide will probably last half a year, at that rate!
So HURRAH! No more trips to that filthy, noisy, total RIP-OFF laundrymat! No more wasted time & gasoline! (Except for when I have to wash heavy things like comforters or blankets, that is, but at least that doesn't have to be done that often, especially with those wonderful, lightweight, sheet-like duvet covers!) I can wash sheets, towels & duvet covers in the washer.
Now, if I could just learn how to fold fitted sheets! (I always try, then finally give up, and wad them up into a corner somewhere.
Has anyone had any weight loss success
How about other rx medications? I am thinking about trying the rx route, wondering if anyone could suggest a particular drug. Thanks!!!
My rescuing was a success today
I was able to get a mother with her 2 puppies, another puppy and 2 more adult dogs, a total of 5 lives saved. I am working with a lady who rehomes these. I am so pleased with my new "job."
What I have had success with when introducing new cats - sm
Go slowly. My plan is this: Put the resident cat in a room alone with what they need for a few hours. Let the new kitty out to explore the new house with your supervision and lots of praise and support if they need it. Put the new kitty away and let the resident kitty out to do his thing. He will smell another cat has been there. Do NOT let the cats see each other at this point. Follow this little drill a few times a day. I would say, based on the age of your cat, to give it about a week before you let them out together and then only with supervision. You also might only be able to let them out together for a short time each day in order to have some distance from one another. I would make their interactions a lot of fun with toys and maybe a catnip party! I have had a dozen cats in my lifetime and done this many times with 100% success. Let the cats set the pace and do not rush them. Best wishes to you! 
My husband and I have had great success with Chantix
Would highly recommend to anyone who really wants to quit - always remember there is no magic pill but with Chantix, this is the best so far they have come out with - we have been smoke free since October and we both smoked heavily for over 30 years.
We always use VRBO and have had huge success with condos...nm

That is a great success story! I am really happy to hear that (sm)
someone got out of a really bad situation and worked hard and made it and is now happily married. That's the dream.
I second that. Daniel Craig too!...
They are both my free pass...my DH's free pass is Sandra Bullock....
Try Craig's List.

Has anyone posted pic on Craig's and
if so is it hard to do? I have some rugs that I want to take pictures of and sell but just recenty acquired a digital camera and just not sure how hard it would be for me to do that. I know how to send in email to others but can you give me an idea of how that goes?
Craig's List also has pets.
Sometimes even people trying to rehome adorable tiny dogs like a Yorkie.
Just a thought. Hope you get just the right family member for you, but there can be a lot of heartbreak from getting a dog from a breeder who only cares about the money instead of one who is trying to improve the breed and doesn't breed their dogs to death.
I hate to be all depressing when you just want a puppy. Sorry.
Both my mom and aunt have had very good success with it. My mom, smoker for over 40 years, quit cold
turkey and says Chantix is the best drug out there - she tried everything!
I see that there are mixed feelings about this drug as with all drugs. Works for some and doesn't work that well with others. Sorry to hear about their experience!
Our kids got their own credit/debit cards when they hit 18 and got jobs. Their success or lack of

That is NOT Craig Morgan signing. It sounds like
bad karaoke to me.
I'm guessing because a crag (hence Craig) is a cliff
It took me a minute too, and I'm just guessing.
You could try Craig's list. Are you including pictures with your ads?
That always gets people too. Pictures of sweet little puppies.... AWWWW.
Right title, wrong singer - its Craig Morgan!!

Craig Morgan....Great voice and passion! ..sm

Song: Almost Home
 Cat
Album: I Love It
(Craig Morgan/Kerry Curt Phillips)
He had plastic bags wrapped 'round his shoes
He was covered with the evening news
Had a pair of old wool socks on his hands
The bank sign was flashing "5 below
It was freezing rain an' spittin' snow
He was curled up behind some garbage cans
I was afraid that he was dead
I gave him a gentle shake
When he opened up his eyes
I said,"Old man are you ok?"
He said,"I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runnin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
'Cause I was almost home..."
Then he said,"I was just comin' round the barn"
'Bout the time you grabbed my arm
When I heard Momma holler son hurry up
I was close enough for my old nose
To smell fresh cobbler on the stove
And I saw daddy loadin' up the truck
Cane poles on the tailgate
Bobbers blowin' in the wind
Since July of ཱི
That's as close as I've been
"Yeah, I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
I was almost home"
I said,"old man you're gonna freeze to death"
Let me drive you to the mission
He said,"Boy if you'd left me alone
Right now I'd be fishin'"
"I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runnin' from some honey bees
Drip dryin' in the summer breeze
After jumpin' into Calico creek
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
'Cause I was almost home"
"Man I wish you'd just left me alone
I was almost home..."

Look in the local freebies section of the paper or Craig's list
Sometimes a stove is free or really cheap. Look to see if anyone has one listed under appliances. Next, get a CAT! I have one who loves to mouse. He started when he was just a couple months old. He would rather catch mice than anything else in the world. I have never had a mice problem and I live in the country. Now the only thing is they're very proud of themselves when they do catch one and like to share it with those they love!
