Jenny Craig
Anyone know how much Jenny's food costs? I went to their website, but apparently the price of the food is classified information. TIA.
Jenny Craig cost of food
I tried a good 10 years ago and it cost me about $300 a month. I wasn't too impressed with the program. I stayed on it for 2 months and only lost 7 pounds. Finally quit and just really increased my workouts and then the weight really came off. I now keep my weight down and have taken off additional weight with working out 5 times a week as well as sticking to low-cal/low-fat prepacked meal packages like Lean Cuisine and Healthy Choice. Much more economical and get great results with them. 
How about your husband tells the friend to tell his female friend to lose the #?

A friend of a friend is taking CareerStep - sm
she is under the misguided idea that she will be making very good $ upon completing the course (a friend of hers supposedly makes $55K a year). I told her no way, at least not starting out and not unless all the factors click together, i.e. good typing speed, good pay (not for a newbie), good dictators (unlikely) and dedication to working hard. I told her what I make after 5 years (16K) but that is PT and I have the potential to double that if I would push myself, not procrastinate so much (I web surf way too much) and work more than I already do. I am not a fast typist but am good at what I do. I will be surprised if she follows though. She told me she'd call me when she finished the course, I just hope she is ready for reality.
Best Wishes
I wish you and your son all the best in the world and I am sure you will make the right choice and giving your son the right to make choices for himself is the right thing. To many parents today live through their children and not for their children.
My son wanted to do this and I agreed to it. Even though it is very time consuming, but at the same time it is full of rewards.
God Bless and Best of Luck
Thanks to everyone for the well wishes!
:)
Best wishes to you, too! (nm)

I feel like I should point out that (in the fairness of all) the God messages should be on the relgious board, it is a little presumptious to think we all believe in God.
That said, best of luck.
Thanks for the feedback and well wishes
I am preapproved for a loan but the payments scare me. I've never owned a home on my own before. I'm also cashing in my small 401k to use for it. I'm young yet, under 35, and know that that is not the smartest of ideas, but my NOT-darling, boyfriend, father of my youngest (2) (have 3 total) is prone to violent behavior. I've put up with his rantings for 3 years, NOT anymore. If I can just get through the next couple weeks .......the house is empty.....so hoping if things go okay, I can move in, maybe before closing. PRAY for me!
No problem! Best wishes!!
:-)
Can you believe it? Time sure does fly! Thank you all for the well wishes!
We're not planning to go anywhere anytime soon!
Best wishes to you on that plan, but
I have to admit that I was (and still am) an RN first. With all of its difficulties, I have to admit that I would prefer to be an MT than return to that extremely stressful situation of RN bedside nurse. The one good thing that I can say with regards to nursing is that the pay seems to be really good, though, and it does not seem difficult for a new grad to find a good niche in which to begin working. One piece of advice that I give is to work towards a minimum of a Bachelor's degree and possibly move on towards a Masters degree or even a PHD, before you are 50. Find a job that you can continue to do until older age, when your body may no longer be up to the physical stress required for direct patient care (especially when it includes lifting, turning the patient, etc.) Get into a specialty where you can use your brain more than your muscles. If you are not already doing so, get into an exercise program and take good care of your musculoskeletal system. If I were not almost geriatric, I would take my own advice. My big mistake was starting out with an Associate Degree and not continuing my nursing education. Believe it or not, I cannot even get a job in a doctor's office, as they prefer LPNs. I even called my state board of nursing and asked if I could get an LPN license by just being an RN and taking the LPN exam. They told me that I would have to complete an LPN training program first, which I am not inclined to do. I know it was a strange question to ask them, but I had to ask...Best to you..
Way to go!!! You are blessed.
Wish everyone could be that appreciated.
Those who have both are very blessed! nm

Like it or not, she is a legal adult and can do what she wishes.
You can tell her your opinions, but you really have no control over this. Just as you wouldn't want someone forcing you to have an abortion because they believe it's right, she likely doesn't want you trying to force her to keep it because it's what you think is right.
All you can do is be there for her if/when she needs you. Yeah, it may stink that her beliefs are not the same as yours, but there's nothing you can do about.
Awesome!!! Congrats & best wishes! (nm)

Thx, not religious at all, but thanks for the good wishes! sm
I know it was meant well. Good wishes to all here. Peace.
God has blessed me greatly too!!
Congratulations on being so blessed.
I work for a national. I don't make $35 an hour, but that's okay, too. I pretty much enjoy my job, I love being at home, have a good supervisor and feel blessed to be able to choose to work from home. I am glad for you, though, and wish you the best.
I could not have been blessed with a more wonderful
father. He is a good, loving, Christian man. Worked hard all his life to take of his wife and 3 daughters. He is now 80 years old and I can still call on him whenever I need him. I live across the street from my parents and have sort of become the "parent" now in that I watch out for them and they, in turn, watch out for me. I am so blessed.
If you were "privileged and blessed" ...sm
I certainly envy you....you're 1 in a million. Most would not feel that way. This is just too tough a question as there are so many variables. I know my decision is coming soon, and I just hope I make the one I can live with. I actually bought a house with 2 living areas with that in mind but.....as the time approaches and she becomes more and more obstinate and difficult to handle, it's a very scary thought. I just pray she goes in her sleep still healthy.
Consider yourself very blessed to be making
8 cpl and only an MT since January. I have been an MT for about 7-1/2 years and working for the same well-known national company for 6 and still only make 8 cpl. I have taken on a part-time job in a completely different field to make extra money and am even contemplating making the other job fulltime and working even less than I do now the national. I don't know of any what to increase your earnings as an MT. 
I agree - blessed
I agree with the positives. I too make awesome money (3-4K) per month and besides that have been able to watch my children grow up and be here when they get home from school. It is less stressful on our family life and allows more time to spend with my husband at night. I too do not have to buy clothing, minus the jeans to go into the office to pick up work, and do not have to worry about when the kids are sick, can still work, etc. It has been an extreme blessing in my life, and I will do it as long as possible.
I don't think there are many jobs where you can make great income, have flexible scheduling, wear jeans to work or work in pajamas, and make dinner all in the "regular work day." Not to mention I type outside in the summer by the pool, great idea!!!! Makes for a nice office!!!
Blessed in many ways here as well.
If we sit back and count the many good things that have come I would have to agree they far outweight the "bad" things. My kids were off all this week from school. I went to pick-up work and the office manager says to me "Your children are off all week from school?" I said, "Yes due to the holiday on Monday and then conferences all week." She says, "Well I guess that's okay for you since you DON'T WORK" as she's handing me a stack of "work". She goes on to say "But what about all of the other mother's who have to work?" What do they do for daycare?" I said, "Well, I guess it puts those mother's in a very tight spot?" Hmmmmm..... Funny the perceptions people have of us work-at-home transcriptionists. It is almost like if you do it from home it cannot possibly be work. Let it be known that I love what I do, but I still consider it very much contributing to society. By the way, thanks to your sister that factory stays doing what it should be doing, and thank your sister for ME personally for putting in the time and showing that she cares by going to work each and every day no matter how tired she gets! Thank you for sharing....
You are blessed, for sure! Enjoy it! nm

Count yourself blessed....sm
A long time ago, before I ever started with national companies, I could have written your post almost word for word. I felt that I "needed" to go with a national company because it seemed to be the thing to do. If what you are doing works for you, then by all means keep on keepin' on. You are one of the fortunate ones who likely will not be affected by all the new "technological advances" that MT has made.
Can anyone tell me the best company to work for if one wishes to do only do op notes...sm
I have 30 years experience in MT work and for the last few years have been able to do exclusively operative notes which is what I love. I have been very happy with current company but have to start my work day early in the a.m. and now my account has been overstaffed to the point there is no work in the morning. While there is plenty of work late in the day, there is nothing in the morning and so I feel I must look for another company for at least part time op work initially and if it works out I could go full time. I have left my email address so please feel free to contact me. Thank you very much for any help you can offer.
Thanks for the good wishes, everyone. Happy Easter!

How is your daughter doing now? My thoughts and best wishes go out to you and your family - sm
I have a 5yo daughter and I cannot imagine what you must be going through. Hope everything is better now.
Thank you all for your kind wishes and prayers. It is much appreciated.
You are all great!
Cool staff. Thanks for the warm wishes.
Hope everybody here had a good Mother's Day.
Prayers and well wishes are just as important as financial help...
sorry you don't see it that way...
Thanks for your response and good wishes! I'm lookin' :)

I was blessed with long lean....
muscular legs, which I still have, even at 45. I can sit cross-legged like a kindergartner listening to a story, BUT, lately I can't get up without hobbling around like a newborn horse for 5 minutes. It's like this horrid painful stiffness. What the heck is it?
and a bountiful blessed Thanksgiving to YOU as well. nm

Wow..you guys are blessed beyond belief! nm

Yes, blessed, but that doesn't mean you have to be stomped on
and treated unfairly. A person can understand and acknowledge that they are blessed by having their job, etc., but that doesn't mean that when situations become unbearable that they can't stand up for themselves. No one said they didn't want truth. The definition of truth is honesty, not nasty comments, verbal abuse, calling a person "manipulative", telling her she has "no right to complain", belittling her feelings, concerns, telling her that her feelings don't matter, calling people's opinions "absurd", all of these are quotes from posts and none of that is TRUTH. One person even posted she should "stop griping". She has a right to do so. Yes, you have a right to your opinion, but you don't have a right to belittle her feelings and thoughts and talk to her like she is trash. Someone comes for advice and encouragement and you treat them like dirt? The definition of truth is honesty, "sincerity in action, character, and utterance". The only truth we have seen from this thread is the truth that some of you have not one ounce of good character. Opinion does not always equal truth. If any of you have children, I hope that you don't teach them to talk to other in this manner. What a disgrace!
WOW! What a great MTSO. You are blessed!

Whoa, are you blessed! You see offers out here for 6-8 cpl

I just wanted to send best wishes and luck to you and your family. nm

Those who are so insecure that they make things up are not blessed, however.

Sure - let's take a look at some of the many benefits that illegal aliens have blessed us with, s
Street gangs, graffitti, drugs, skyrocketing healthcare, depreciation of property value, welfare fraud, illiteracy. The list could go on. What they actually have to offer (cheap labor) pales to what they have given our country to deal with. I'll take expensive vegetables over expensive healthcare any day!
If you really look at it, Proverbs 31, that woman was blessed and amazing. She sm
did it ALL! She considered a field and bought it (on her own), she provided jobs, food, clothing for her maidservants, she was found at the markets early in the morning *(buying food and things for the home, I suppose). To me, this chapter tells me that as women we can do it all if we put our mind to it and that God expects a lot from us. I think about her "buying" the field to plant her harvest (no mention of husband/male whatsoever) and that helps me know God's will for my life with regard to work and homemaking, taking care of the children.
She was considered blessed. If we took better care of our bodies then we would have the amount of energy this woman had.
Oh. It's well wishes. Guess with the posts here on the subject that wasn't apparent. nm

Hope you are okay! Lots of well wishes and positive thoughts for you guys!
