My new diet (and fridge cleaning) plan
It is getting more and more difficult for me to make myself leave the house (even though I am so sick of being here) that my fridge and cupboards do end up pretty bare. - I was thinking earlier today, I could start the "I can't get my butt to the store, so my butt is getting small" diet. : )
How many lines can I plan on averaging per hr/day when first starting out?

I am getting back into transcription after taking a few years off, and I am trying to figure out financially if I can swing the 8 cpl that I was offered to me.  Since it has been a few years, I'm not sure how many lines I can type, as this was an hourly position and we did not have a minimum line count.  I know that there are a lot of variables, but would you mind sharing what your average line counts were when you started out?  I will be typing full-time.  Thanks in advance! 


I have the feeling they may eliminate SE because they are starting this new plan in January. Quite
frankly, I am surprised you do okay with Amherst. I sit looking at a no work sign many days and it gets a little tiresome. I have already been looking at other companies because I have felt for a long time with the lawsuits and millions going out MQ is not the place to be anymore. Too much baggage and may Spheris is in the picture especially if they drop SE I think that may well be true.
Other than Slim Fast has anyone had any luck with OTC diet products or diet pills? nm

You're confusing the new QA plan with the new pay plan. New pay plan is still completely under wr
Shhhhhhhhhhh....
I had one dictate from the jon and flush over and over again sm
Through, get this FOUR DICTATIONS!!! The pregnant pauses, the bobbing of the roll as he pulled out paper, the echo of the small room followed by FLUSH!!!
and you hear him tinkle and flush,
. . . and he doesn't stop to wash his hands. You just hear the bathroom door close. Ewwwww!
Sounds like a great idea, would flush their "profits" - sm
right down the drain, and may cause them to raise their prices to the same level--the only down side I see is that if they turn in "superior product" and are equal to or better than what is produced in the U.S. then the argument that the offshore work sucks would go bye-bye, and offshore would continue to get our potential work, possibly more of it IF they keep the price down at their end. The other thing is actually getting on of those offshore companies to pay that kind of money; for it they will get mucho production, probably 500-800 lines an hour churned out, which would be difficult to do IF the work is in bad shape. I love the idea but not sure it would help U.S. MTs in the long run (presuming you are trying to do that).
One of mine would "tinkle and flush" an open heart surgeon true - @O

Insurance - Healthy NY
Has anyone ever used this company for health insurance?  Hypertype told me their girls use it as IC's - that the rates are good.  But I see you can't make more than 23k per year.  How can you use plan and work f/t doing MT ?   thanks guys
I'm in my late 40's, and healthy. Tried it
on doc's recommendations. Took my first pill and thought my heart had stopped. Really had a bad feeling on it, like I would have a heart attack. Nearly went to the ER, but it wore off after exactly 8 hours. My teen daughter was prescribed it for a while, and after a few days developed a deep red rash all over - so we did not have good experiences with it.  I'd be very careful.
healthy eating

What are the healthiest fruits and veggies to eat?  I know raw veggies are supposed to be better for you too and that frozen is better than canned.  Any other advice?  Thanks.


 


I am talking about the QA plan I dont know what the new pay plan is.

How about nuts? Almonds are healthy. (nm)

OK - how's that? I need to be healthy for ME (for several reasons) before I can be true to...
anything else in my life!  Thank you ALL for the words of encouragement!  It does help.  I need to do this for ME.  Once I see I can accomplish this goal I will have the encouragement, strength and faith that I can do anything!  And you know what, I really BELIEVE I will do it this time!  Thanks again!  Will keep you updated!
Congratulations on your healthy income!

Congratulations to Fingers for healthy income!!


How many years experience do you have (if you do not mind answering)?


Thanks!


Just realize that there are healthy able bodied people...
who make minimum wage in Florida and can barely afford to put food on the table never mind stock up on a little extra.  Also realize that with that kind of  destruction I don't think anyone can be prepared.  I rode out two storms last year and each time I went outside and saw the damage afterwards I was overwhelmed and in shock for days....months after the storm driving along I-75 to get to family in Naples I encountered the Port Charlotte area and the destruction that those storms brought to that area was terrible...those people to this day are still living in FEMA trailers and have little else but the shirts on their backs.  Before people become judgemental of what the government shouldn't do realize that one day that just might be you or someone in your family.  I work with a girl who lost everything to Andrew and to this day when a storm comes into play she is very apprehensive and anxious....Try to be a little more caring than judgemental.  It makes the world a much better place to live in.
As long as healthy, able-bodied people
are willing to maintain a poverty mentality and continue to be content to work a minimum-wage job without making any effort to better themselves, they will remain trapped in the misery they've created for themselves. There is no reason why able-bodied people in this country should not be able to provide adequately for their families. There is nothing noble or pure about abel-bodied people choosing poverty and misery just because it's too much trouble to improve one's life and it's so much easier just to get some mindless minimum-wage job or just sit and collect welfare. Their selfishness deprives the truly needy of the help and resources the rest of us pay for that should be devoted to helping those genuinely in need. If able-bodied people decide to make stupid choices--which includes not preparing for emergencies as well as the well-known stupid choices of breeding more children than they can support, choosing to bear children out of wedlock, choosing addiction, choosing to drop out of schoos, etc., etc--they should not automatically expect to be bailed out of the consequences of their poor choices. It has nothing to do with compassion or lack thereof. It's simple common sense.
I would spend whatever it takes to keep my " animal kids" healthy. nm

Feeling healthy mentally and physically and being grateful for that. nm

Garlic keeps you healthy. You smell so bad sick people avoid you.

I don't know! I've heard people live longer with a healthy sex life.

try a raw diet
First have your dog's liver enzymes checked, also the pancreas. Someone told me that toxins come out through the dogs ears, especially labs. Then, check into a raw diet for your lab. Believe it or not, chicken wings, chicken necks, or turkey necks - raw - and raw fruits and vegetables (no onions or grapes). My sister's lab has pancreas problems, his ears smelled awful, and the vet was no help. She checked out raw diets and her dog has been doing fine for the past two years. Her lab has the most beautiful white teeth, no smelly ears, very little gas, lost weight, and is happy. As a last resort, try BeanO. (PS, if you want to stick to a kibble food, try Flint River Ranch - that is what I feed my dog).
Okay! So much for my diet! I'm going to try it!
  Sounds yummy!
diet !
Your way sounds a lot more appetitizing than the Healthy Choice dinners I am living on!  SO boring, but I have lost 10 pounds in 10 days!  Only 18 to go!  And I too am walking 2-3 times a day which really seems to help.  Once with the dog (he is pokey!) and then by myself so I can walk fast.
Diet
Funny you asked that because with my medical background, I know that what you eat can have a big influence on how you feel. I also have hypoglycemia so I should be eating well.

I honestly do not have an appetite. I didnt eat anything at all yesterday and the day before I ate 4 chicken nuggets from Wendys.

This morning I feel a little hungry so I will probably eat some rice and black beans. I have that and oatmeal. Its cheap and filling.

I used to eat like crazy... now I don't eat at all. I used to get sick when I felt kind of dizzy from not eating after a few hours. Now I've gotten used to the feeling and having really low blood sugar makes it hard for me to concentrate on one thing but I can't get food stamps because I don't have any kids or anything. All well... Anyway, that's what I've been eating.
Meat in your diet?
That is a misconception that we need meat in our diets, we do not need meat at all, there are many other sources of protein out there to substitute for the meat, please go to the many vegitarian sites for more information.
try a low sodium diet

When I was first diagnosed, I went on a strict 2 gm sodium diet.  It is amazing how much salt is in foods.  My ENT gave me a small booklet I could fit in my pocket to carry around with me to count sodium.  It reduced the amount of fluid in my ears, which lessened the vertigo and the tinnitis.  The shocking part was that I lost 20 pounds without trying!  I never went hungry at all.  I felt better than I had in years.


I have also found that keeping my sinuses clear helps with a lower level of tinnitis.  Wine intensifies it


good luck,

I have never tried the diet, but I know lots who

have, including my DH.  I have never known anyone to keep the weight off once they come off the diet.  While there have been various studies as to healthiness/unhealthiness of the diet, I don't see how eating high fat foods came be healthy.  I do know that the diet throws your body into a ketosis, which gives you terrible breath.  When my DH was on the diet I asked him not to talk while in the car because his breath smelled so bad.  He worked with a woman who said she wondered why people would back away from her when she talked.


I think low carb is a good idea, but I don't think high fat is a good idea.  I'm not a nutritionist, just makes sense. 


Diet Board please

How long have you been on the diet?
?
OTC diet pills
My daughter was able to lose about 10 pounds on Dexatrim - that is before they had to change the formula - our best results have been with Atkins for quick weight loss - 7-14 pounds in a week in our family. Lots of meat and cheese - and no cheating.
So does diet soda.
Just kidding
Anyone try Shangri-La Diet sm
Just wondering if anyone has heard of or tried the Shangri-La Diet..  and if so what did they think about it?   Did you lose any weight?   Just curious, need to lose that 20 pounds.. or so... 
Anybody out there taken any of the new diet pills with
Just curious if any of these work or if they are a scam like most others.  If anyone has taken any pills that work let me know.   (I know they are not good for you)
Liquid Diet
My brother-in-law lost a lot of weight doing a liquid diet (not sure for how long, though), but he gained most of his weight back.
yeah, know that...this diet was only for four days...
no salt, etc. but it works.  Called the "four day wonder diet."  Could not, would not do this for more than that! Yukky, no flavor. But it kicks in the fat burning thing...  Thanks for your support....Back to some "tasty" "live-it" foods!  :)
cofee....diet pepsi...

Smash the Fat ... aka Take-Control Diet sm

The name of his book is Take-Control Diet, and there is a sample menu on the VH1 site that lists chicken breasts and sirloin, so ...... not too scary


 


MEET ON DIET BOARD???!!!
This is excited to hear so many on and starting out with this diet.  I am starting a thread on the diet board so we can keep track of progress!!!  This will be great support!!!
South Beach Diet
I have had this same problem! I gain too much weight with each pregnancy, then when I finally get it off I have ended up prego again. HA. Well, it won't happen that way again. Anyhow, I did the South Beach Diet between my last 2 kids and lost 54 pounds in just a couple of months (a little over 4). I actually lost my weight in this area first. I am just starting it up again for the same reason, and because I know it works--I have done it before. The first 2 weeks are kind of hard to stick to (at least for me as all my teeth are sweet teeth), but it goes by fast actually and you won't believe when you step on the scale and each day your weight is down and you drop clothing sizes. Just typing this is enough motivation again for me to do it. I didn't exercise the last time and the weight just melted off, so I don't know about any exercises. Good luck to you! :)
South Beach Diet
When I did it the last time they only had the blue book out, now they have cookbooks too and the foods at the store so it will be even easier to stick to. I just bought a treadmill and am sad to say after 15 minutes I am dying! HA.

I have even seen the South Beach books on ebay for cheap. :)
Anyone tried the Nourish Nutrisystem diet? sm
If so how fast did you lose? Were the foods good?  Were you hungry?  I am leaning towards this program.  The pictures I have seen are GREAT!  The food looks good and you get to pick and choose what you want.  It is costly but if it works it would be well worth it....thanks!
South Beach Diet sm
beel ala orange with brown rice and broccoli, carrots, and bamboo shoots...only thing is, they forgot the brown rice...I am still hungry. yarrr.
Doctor's Choice Diet
Anyone been on this diet?  I called and they said it is a diet plan and some kind of a hormone shot that you have to get once a week.  Sounds scary to me.
diabetic diet question
Can someone please send me an 2000 calorie ADA diabetic diet?  I have searched and cannot find just a diabetic diet.  We just found out that my hubby has to start taking insulin. 
If you would try the Sugar Buster diet you'd

be surprised at the energy you will have.   You'll notice a difference in about 3 days.  I'm fixing to start it again because while I get up fine in the morning, after about 2 hours I hit a wall and it takes me about 2 hours to get past it where I can work again.   The only problem is I still have 2 hours left in my morning shift when I hit that wall so need to be working. 


 


Anyway the diet will give you lots of energy - similar to being on energy drinks, it will be healthier for you and if you need to lose a few pounds you can do that too. 


Have you thought of liquid diet? - sm
I found a great site a few years ago, liquiddietdiscussion.com and they sell something similar to Optifast though it tastes a million times better and is cheaper. I have done NS too. I have about a 2 month supply of both right now, and think I may do a liquid diet for months then transition to the Nutri-Systems for return to real food part and to train myself how to eat right. I have about 70 pounds to lose too to get down to my proper weight, though some of it may be from a medical problem (waiting on blood work now, will know on Friday), but figure in order to get a quick result a liquid diet for 1 to 2 months should give me the jumpstart I need and hack off at least 40 pounds in 2 months if not more. Check it out and discuss it with you doctor. Good luck.
Liquid diet for 1 to 2 months?!
I don't think I could do it for 1 to 2 days, let alone that long?!
