  • I need SIMPLE Diet items?

    Im tired of coming across these diet sites where u gotta go buy 50 million different things that u normally dont have in your kitchen if u are typical american on a budget. Can someone give me some simple things to eat for a diet? Anyone with weight loss experience what did u eat every day starting with breakfast to dinner?

    I dont care if i have to keep eating the same thing everyday. I like following a routine anyways that way i know im not messing up anything or getting off track. Grocery Lists? Anything! Not any long recipes either just simple things i can grab or cook quick..

    BTW my BMI is well over 50 just put it like that so you know what you're working with here. Im trying to lose 100 pounds by December at least.

    LoL. Thanks in Advance

  • Paying Off Debt?

    When i was 19 (3 years ago) i made STUPID mistake and stopped paying the $20 minimum on my Capital One card. All because i had lost my job and was scared to ask my parents for the minimum because they had already warned me about signing up for them in the first place. Now i have a 1,100 something dollar collection from them. That ONE card brought my credit score to a 563 because of the revolving missed unpaid strikes.

    I checked myFico score yesterday and it was 533 but experian (freecreditreport.com) was 563. I only have 3 things on there making a total to about 3,000 something. Why is my score so low just for 3 things????

  • High Blood Pressure - Borderline Stroke?

    I'm a 22 year old African American female. About 2 months ago when i went to a local hospital's walk in clinic, i was told that my blood pressure was borderline stroke. I was first diagnosed with high blood pressure about 2 years ago. I will conclude that i am obese/over weight also part of what came from steroid lung injections from 2 cases of near death pnemonia/asthma when i was younger but im not blaming it on that

    I want to know where do i start? I am so lost right now because i dont have insurance coverage and im afraid that i wont be able to find a doctor that actually cares because of my lack of insurance. Aside from struggling with my weight im also experiencing infertility. Im close to thinking about starving myself right now i feel so depressed ive been calling around to local doctors but its 7:50 am here and no one is really open yet. I was on provera (for the missed periods and water pills (for the blood pressure) about a year ago but at differnt times. HELP

  • Transmission Slipping! What to do?

    Ok i have a 1995 Jeep Cherokee Laredo. Recently like a month or 2 i guess. The Transmission seems like its going to go out. This happens when i have the car running and put it in park, and when i put it in drive and press on the gas and it stalls and i have to press the gas almost (but not quite) to the floor and it forces takeoff like jolts itself into gear. I drive it minimal now because i cant afford to get the transmission worked on right now. I checked the fluid and its black i but its still saying full. What's a girl to do? Before my tranny goes out then i'd be DOOMED this is my only source of transportation!!

  • Fresh Tongue Piercing Questions?

    I got my tongue pierced yesterday night for the second time. First time back in 2004. Its been in for approximately 25 hours now. The first time i got it done the people said it was ok to use mouthwash but these guys said stay away from mouth wash. Why is that? I used it on my first piercings and and i it worked just fine actually made my mouth feel a little better as far as pain. He said the only thing i could use was H2Ocean mouth rinse or sea salt water. Is this a new policy with tongue piercings or something? Does Midol really help with the swelling also? Because i hate ice..haha. Umm...I have never been so desperate to use mouth wash in my life! LOL

  • 1987 Grand Am Le Overheating?

    My car is a** backwards. Last night i had my brother remove the thermostat housing to find out that the gasket seal was burnt so i had him leave it off and i told him i would go get another one tomorrow (bad idea). Something told me to start the car and when i hit the gas coolant and water started shooting out of the motor where the thermostat housing was like a backed up toilet or some sort. So im sitting there dumb founded like this dude sold me the car ($700) and the radiator is completetly gone looks like. When he was here last week fixing on my car (the guy) he added coolant where the thermostat housing was. He has a toggle switch to run the fan manually, hooked up in my car. I managed to get it home last night but the needle ALMOST went into the red but i didnt let it i pulled over. The car was working fine before we removed the thermostat housing yesterday and now i am head over heels as to what is going on. And it was smoking very badly. It didnt even have a thermostat in it

  • Over Heating Engine...1987 Grand Am Le?

    It's a 1987 Grand AM Le Coupe... I bought the car from someone i know about 2 months ago. 4 Cylinder, i have no idea what size the motor is. I paid 700 (which everyone told me was way too much), but he comes out and fixes whatever needs to be done for free excluding the cost of parts.

    The check engine light has been on since i bought it from him. He installed a toggle switch (3 wires running from the battery to the inside of the car for me to manually run the radiator fan if my car starts running hot). The problem is one of the wires messed up on me almost a week ago and i havent had anyone come to fix the switch and i've been driving it like that for a couple of days now. As i expected driving it without the fan on is causing the car temperature gage to gradually move up past 220. It's especially bad if im sitting at a red light because no air is getting to the engine from the car moving. I've NEVER let it get into the red mark yet i always pull over and let it cool down.

  • Relationship Question..?

    Ok me and my significant other has been together for 2 years and counting. At first the relationship was good, sex was good, and so on and so forth. I'd say after about a year everything just got dull. I'm 21 and he's 27, but he acts like we are an old couple and i dont like that. It's like i'm the one wanting sex all the time, usually its the opposite (a man cheating because his woman wont give him no lovin' lol) but in my case its me on the verge of cheating. I dont want to but i feel he's driving me on the edge. I've tried talking, asking him what he wants out of sex if he wants to try new things, but he just sits there and looks dumb or say no its not that. No he's not cheating we are around eachother basically 24/7, alot of people say thats the problem but when i try to give us space he doesnt want me to leave. I am pullin my hair out in frustration, and i dont want to leave him but damn...what's a girl to do?

  • Weight loss and seasonings?

    I usually cook all my boneless/skinless meats on my george forman grill and i use garlic powder and lemon pepper for my meat but i dont OVER season them.

    While trying to lose weight is it best to just cut seasonings all together? Sounds like a bad idea because the food would be bland and make it more prone for me to start cheating on my diet. Im trying to lose at lease 10 pounds by july 1st. Since im over weight i would lose it more quicker than most.
