I took that today. I was iffy about sharing it, but that's my new tummy so far. i got the tiniest of definition. its like its shrinking in a circle. its no where near where it should be. I know it will never be as flat as it was 5-6 years ago. but its getting flatter than it ever has been in years!!!! ^_^

:ohmy: I just joined YMCA this new year and for this moth as of January I lost a total of 20 pounds. Still a way to go cause they say the stomach is the last thing you lose hmm could've fooled me I thought it was your life go figure. This is one of the main reasons I have decided to stop drinking as of late the beer and such packs on weight in all the wrong places.

One of the things to consider is not only how to lose weight, but how to lose it on the cheap. Let's face it, we are all on tight budgets.

Consider this:

-1x12 pack of diet soda, 12 oz. x 12 cans= 144 oz. of fluid you can drink: $4-7.00 depending.

-1 box of 40 green tea bags: $3.60. I can easily make 4 gallons or so of drinkable tea that I can keep cold. I also get antioxidants, and the other bennies of tea. Also, the tannins in tea are not as dramatic in initial kick of caffeine, but they last longer. Now I prefer my tea ala Japanese (no sugar or cream,) but for sweetening, you can consider honey, real sugar, or a variety of fruit juices and the like and tailor it to your preference (and no, I don't mean enough sugar to have a slurry of tea/sugar at the bottom of the glass.)

One of the big problems with diets I found is the "diet" foods and fruits tend to be a bit more expensive, or at least perceived to be more expensive. If anyone has thoughts on what is both cheap and beneficial to losing weight, I say post it here.

Drop the pop, Diet is worse for you then regular and still makes you gain weight.

Pop doesn't come pouring out of pristine streams in nature, water does, so I don't understand why anyone drinks the shit. And I do mean shit. This is coming from someone who used to drink diet pop religiously...until I found out what is in it and what kind of effects it has on your body. You'll be saving your health and some money in the long run.

..shop at a fruit market.....the bulk buying power is passed on.....

Yeap, if it comes in any kind of a package, pass on it. Packaged food is always heavily processed, unnecessarily expensive, and HORRIBLE (not just bad, horrible) for your health, and I'm not even referring to the fact of sodium chloride content, I'm talking the straight-up toxic chemicals that are legally allowed in your food should disgust and appall you.

The people who do the food at the CC I'm going to charges alot for salads and stuff, so I've gone through a $25 lunch card in a week. Freaking irritating.

That's why I keep power bars in my purse on the days I have class. Keeps me from going to the vending machine or paying $5 for a teeny side salad.

    • I am currently floored.   FedEx did a massive 6 box delivery to the wrong address.  I had an autoship order scheduled to arrive before this past weekend.  Nothing showed up.  I contacted the order site and they had a link for the order...a photo of all my boxes thrown in the snow and up the sidewalk of a residence that was not mine.   You would think that at some point, the driver would have looked at the delivery address after they kept throwing box upon box at this location with no shelter from the elements.  They didn't even knock on the door to inform the residents that massive 65+ pound boxes were left all over their walkway.  Nope.  Just dumped them, took a photo as they were walking away and left.   I wonder what the person who found all of those misdelivered boxes must have been thinking when they saw them.  Maybe they kept everything to use, distribute or sell.  No idea.  No claim was filed on that end as of yet.   Fortunately for me, one of the sites that I ordered from, replaced everything at no extra cost.   Unfortunately, now I'm concerned for the other items yet to be delivered.   Needless to say, I'll be watching my notifications like a hawk.

    • ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.
