In Reply to: Just started Atkins - MTB

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!!!
Anyone have success with Jenny Craig?

I would be interested in hearing your experiences.  Is the food as good as they say?  Val looks great!!!


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.
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!
