I'm moving into an apartment with a friend here soon (hopefully at least) I have rent, utilities, cable, phone, auto insurance, etc covered.

I was wondering how much it would cost to feed just me? I don't eat that much, a slice of toast for breakfast with half a glass of juice, and then just fruit and/or a 100 calories pack of something similar for lunch during classes. So very little all day and then just dinner really? maybe a few snacks just to have in the apartment, chips or something that would prob last a week plus. I'd consider myself a somewhat smart shopper also, not the best and not the worst.

I'd ask my dad but our shopping is sporadic so I don't know if I could get a good estimate.

And also, about how much for toilet paper, beauty supplies, laundry detergent, etc, all the little stuff you don't think about.

Thanks for any help! I know every area is different I'm just looking for a estimate, it will be in Ohio by the way.
Thanks again!

Hi everyone,

I am wondering: did anyone else on R-CHOP Chemotherapy lose or gain weight during treatment? I am not on Prednisone or any steroids. I am simply taking Lansoprazole to reduce stomach acid, which doesn't cause weight gain.

I've read some absolute horror stories about people gaining 35lbs in 8 months on R-CHOP.

Don't get me wrong: I am not going to refuse treatment regardless of whether I gain weight, but almost every story I have read people have talked about massive weight gain – this concerns me, as my nurse told me to eat 3,000 calories a day!

I am quite chubby as it is so the last thing I want is to be overeating and gaining weight from the treatment.

how much weight could i lose by just running? and how often?? I dont really want to be concerned about calories; i just want to listen to my stomach and learn to eat when i'm hungry.
and right now i dont exercise like at all. i used to be really athletic, but gained like 20 lbs in the past 2 yrs so now i want to get back to 120lbs. any tips??

Try this one. It is really effective and I've proven this!

Weight Loss Diet Program:

This program is designed for a target weight loss of 10-17 lb per week. It will also improve your attitudes and emotions because of its cleansing systematic effects.

The effectiveness of this seven day plan is that the foods eaten burn more calories than they give to the body in caloric value.

This plan can be used as often as you like without any fear of complications. It is designed to flush your system of impurities and give you feeling of well being. After seven days you will begin to feel lighter because you will be lighter by at least 10 lb. You will have an abundance of energy and an improved disposition.

During the first seven days you must abstain from all alcohol.
You must drink 10 glasses of water each day.

Day One: All fruits except bananas. Your first day will consist of all the fruits you want. It strongly suggested that you consume lots of melons the first day specially water melon and cantaloupe. If you limit your fruit consumption to melons, your chances of losing 3 lb on first day are very good.

Day Two: All vegetables. You are encouraged to eat until you are stuffed with all the raw or cooked vegetables of your choice. There is no limit on the amount or type. For your complex carbohydrate, you will start day two with a large baked potato for breakfast. You may top the potato with one pat of butter.

Day Three: A mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice. Any amount, any quantity. No bananas yet. No potatoes today.

Day Four: Bananas and milk. Today you will eat as many as eight bananas and drink three glasses of milk. This will be combined with the special soup which may be eaten in limited quantities.

Day Five: Today is feast day. You will eat beef and tomatoes. Eat two 10oz portions of lean beef. Hamburger is ok. Combine with six whole tomatoes. On day five you must increase your water intake by one quart. This is to cleanse your system of the uric acid you will be producing.

Day Six: Beef and vegetables. Today you may eat an unlimited amount of beef and vegetables. Eat to your heart content.

Day Seven: Today your food intake will consist of brown rice, fruit juices and all the vegetables you care to consume.

Tomorrow morning you will be 10-17 lb lighter than one week ago. If you desire further weight loss, repeat the program again. You may repeat this program as often as you like. However, after the first week it will help your digestion and settle your stomach.

Beverages you may consume while on the program:
1.Water (flavored with lemon/lime if desired)
2.Club Soda is ok
3.Black coffee. No cream or cream substitute. No sugar
or sweetness
4.Black Tea = Herb or Leaf
5.Absolutely nothing else except the fruit juices which
are part of day seven. No fruit juices before day seven.

Special Soup: The following soup is intended as a supplement to your diet. It can be eaten any time of the day in virtual unlimited quantities. You are encouraged to consume large quantities of this soup.
28oz water, 6 large onions, 2 green peppers, whole tomatoes (fresh or canned), 1 head cabbage, 1 bunch celery, 4 envelopes Lipton onion soup mix, herbs and flavoring as desired.

I'm 5'8" and around 131 lbs. I just got the Wii Fit Plus, and it's saying that in 30 minutes on it, that I've burned over 100 calories. That just doesn't seem right, I'm not even breaking a sweat! I'm already fairly active, so these last 5 or so pounds that I want to lose are NOT coming off easily. (Please no comments on wanting to get back in the 120s, I don't have an eating disorder or bad body image, I just want to get back to the weight was for years)

Anyone have any ideas? Or ideas to lose these last 5-7lbs?

Undecided Question

My BMR is 1600

I burn 1900 calories through exercise. Everyday I lose 3500 Calories (1 pound)

i eat probably between 800-1200 calories a day. sometimes a little more or less. My workout seems to decide weather i look better then next day or worse. i Try to eat healthyer like all info says
i am apparently suppose to eat like 1600 calories of healthy food. And believe me, im choosing the healthiest choices and really limit my self so that's not a answer. Just the only way i can lose weigh is if i under eat!! and this is so hard… it doesn't make sense at all. it says im suppose to eat more but like i get fat when i do!!!!

I thought so. Until I told my trainer that I had been doing cardio a lot to lose weight but stopped getting results. Thats why I went to this trainer. He charges about $230 an hour so I think hes good. He told me that cardio is really easy to adjust to after about a month and you will stop seeing results, just like I had. He also told me that someone overweight shouldn't do to much cardio because 30minutes of cardio puts 30min of stress on the adrenal glands which raises cortisol levels and puts even more stress on my body than I already have from being overweight. Which results in less sleep, less energy to workout with ext. He said also that 30min of strength training puts only about 6 to 8 minutes of stress on the body because you only stressing the body when you actually lifting the weight. He went on further to say that weight training has been shown to keep your body at a metabolic spike for up to 72 hours after a workout as opposed to a metabolic spike that stops when you stop sweating from cardio?????

Do you agree with this? I thought Cardio was better????

He said it only burns a few more caloires a min than weight training, but puts less stress on the body and has almost no further impact on you once you stop running.

Another thing he said that when it some to weight loss it primarily involves nutrition and what I do at home. I'm really dedicated to losing about 50 pounds, and packing on some "Jillian Michaels" muscle so I wanted to train with him 7 days a week $230 per session and instead of jumping of that offer he said working out doesnt get you stronger and more "toned" its the resting and relaxing and sleeping thats going to do that, So i'm getting 4 days a week now.

I'm just confused I always heard muscle burns more calories than fat but he said that thats only good in theory. 1 pound of muscle opposed to 1 pound of fat only burns about 12 more calories a day. He said I could do that chewing gum???

Sorry I'm so unorganized on this post, its just, he's charging $230, hes 22 yo and hes saying all this stuff I didnt know??? WOW I heard he was one of the best, he made my friend lose 72 pounds and she is sexy looking!!!

Undecided Question

okay so I am a thirteen year old girl whos is five feet seven inches and 113 pounds. I know im not technically overweight, but I really want to be slimmer. The problem is that its hard for me to lose weight because im not really that overweight. Im eating around 1000 calories a day now, and im exercising for an hour, and its working, but if i mess up and eat like 1500 calories I gain one pound in a day! So does anyone know what I can do? please! IM just so sick of being "average weight" I want to be thin!

This website was pretty cool. You log in put in your info, like hight weight etc. then like your goal weight and it tells you the calorie intake you need to do. But it also has A feture where you can look up all these fast food places or resteraunts and see the calories. Does anyone know a website like this?? thank you!!
