Hi Nancy! We are in the planning stages of redoing our kitchen too. We checked in to Home Depot and I have to agree we were floored at the estimate. The price of the cabinets was $5000, but like others have said it's the labor that is jaw dropping. Plus they wanted about $2500 to demolish...

Gosh...all this time Donna I thought you were Wonder Woman! Oh Well! :-)

Hi Shelley! Real estate sales in the US are pretty much the same as you described for Canada. The rules and procedures can vary a bit from state to state however as each has it's own laws. Here in California it's just about as complicated as it can possibly get...TONS of paperwork and lots...

I've been reading the recommendations (or lack thereof) regarding Power 90 and would like to know...what EXACTLY is so bad about this workout? I don't own any Beachbody workouts at all, so I can't compare. But really, what is so horrible? :-) Nicole

Just wondering if any of you have heard of this guy? His name is Steve Vaught and he is walking across the US to lose weight. I just came across his story yesterday in the paper and thought I would share. http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/northcounty/20050526-9999-7m26vaught.html He...

If you have a local Vitamin Shoppe store you can shop at I believe they will take it back if you don't like it. They mentioned that to me last time we were in there trying something new. :-) Nicole

I've actually switched to steel cut oats (or Irish oatmeal as it is also called). I like it alot better than old fashioned oats because it has more flavor to me. Maybe you can use that instead? It's still the same oat, just not as processed (flattened) as oatmeal. I too add a little milk...

I really can't take credit for the Chili. I've just modified the recipe in the Eating For Life book for the crock pot on those days when we have no time to cook. I'll give you the recipe as is and then tell you that for the crock pot version I just cook up the meat with the onion, garlic, bell...

Well, I can't comment on Jenny Craig or Nutrisystem because I've never done either one, but if you are already sick of frozen low fat entrees I don't think you will be too keen on these programs. They are all packaged foods! And they are NOT clean eating. You say you don't have time to...

Hi Katie! Out of all the books you listed, the only one I own is Eating for Life. I think it is a great book! It gives you background on how to eat and why, but it's mostly recipes. Don't get me wrong, the recipes are good and it's the book I turn to first when trying to figure out dinner...

HA!! Can't wait!! :D :D Nicole

Mari (& Candi?) - PLEASE keep us posted on this! We all want to know all about it. Obviously lots of interested people here who would love a first hand account. DETAILS!! We need details!! Thanks!! :D Nicole

That IS a great deal!! Lucky girl!!:D Angie...you are the only person outside of my family I have EVER heard use the phrase "hum-dinger"! I cracked up! Nicole :-)

Hi Mar! I've been doing the same thing! I'm not really feeling guilty about it though. To be honest, I've really been enjoying the nice weather and being outdoors. Plus the dog sure likes it! I don't think it's a waste of time at all. I did a similar walk yesterday with my dog (about...

Hi Jean! Congrats on your morning workouts!! :-) As for WW...I have the BFL cookbook and what I've done is just calculate points for each ingredient, add them up and then divide by the number of servings. I think it is pretty close. Alot of the ingredients don't have points, so there's...

You are Lucky!! We don't get Fit TV. Of course, we get to see COMMERCIALS for Fit TV on all of the other Discovery network channels, but that's all. You'd think it would be a basic channel for cable tv, but no such luck!! :( :( :( Nicole

Congratulations on your achievement!! That is SO GREAT! I wish I was taking that exam! Please be sure to keep us updated!! :D :D :D Ok..so now you are officially one of the informed and "educated" crowd, so we can ask you whatever we need to know, right? :P ;-) Nicole

Lorrayne, He's on North Island. Obviously not going to be affected there, but we thought maybe ASW base or Miramar might get the boot. Nicole

If you have a Costco nearby, they pretty much always have luggage available (at least mine does) and it's very reasonable. I also recommend buying the carry on size and get one with wheels. If I remember correctly on my last trip, you could carry on two pieces of luggage (within their size...

I'm with you 100% Lorrayne! My husband is active duty Navy here in San Diego and we've been concerned for all who are affected. You don't realize how many people lose when bases are closed...and not just the military folks...the surrounding towns and businesses too. We didn't get too many...
