How to effectively 'shapen up?'?
I am looking for good weight loss tips - healthy ways to continue to lose weight, not fad diets, pills, etc. I have currently lost almost three pants sizes, and have (fingers crossed,) lost a lot of weight in the past three years or so...primarily in the past few months.
If you lost weight, what did you do to successfully lose the weight?

1 AnswerRadio8 years agoRiddle me this, Democrats?
Hey there, Democrats!
How do you depend on "defending" your party, when this horrific, Unconstitutional scandal clearly traces back to members of your party who were unfairly targeting Conservative nonprofits?
I am interested to hear how/why you think it's okay for the Liberal IRS government officials to review your personal Facebook and Twitter messages, phone correspondence, personal emails, public speeches and addresses, as well as questions answered in the public eye, threatening to file in contempt of perjury if you don't file your taxes in 19-21 days, asking invasive questions about whether any money was used to support certain candidates of certain political parties in the elections, current ads on T.V., newspapers, and radio, list of sponsors and private donors, invasive questions about who you were supporting in local, state, and national elections, forcing nonprofit Conservative groups to pay thousands of dollars after filing for 501 C3 Status, etc.
How would YOU feel if that was you? Liberals get all kinds of protection within their party, but if this was a Conservative President and this scandal was going on, his/her party would turn against him/her, not to mention the liberal media would be all over it, and the President would be rightfully impeached. Why is it not this way with a Democratic President?
Let's see how you can justify this one...
It can't be the GOP or Karl Rove, as previously mentioned. Remember our good friend, James Rosen? He is a FOX News Correspondent, as is Karl Rove. Now, why would Rove tap into his friend's personal email exchanges involving Republican Press, as well as his Twitter and his personal cell phone calls/texts? Hmmm, that just doesn't add up! When have you ever heard of Crazy Uncle Joe tapping into Barry's personal exchanges? It just doesn't happen, because the Liberal Party protects it's members just like a herd of donkeys would do. (Appropriate mascot, indeed.)
I am fed up with the government. They are all about their own agendas, and not the People's agendas, even though they work for us. (This goes for Republicans as well, even though I am the MOST fed up with the Democratic Party.)
Let's hear the gift-wrapped excuses, Democrats: SOUND OFF!
2 AnswersGovernment8 years agoWhat do you think about virgins?
I am a Christian young lady, 22, almost 23, Caucasian, and Single. I have become very concerned about society, as it seems like there are hardly any men my age or a tad older that are actually virgins and intend to wait to have sex until they are married. I really am concerned about dating someone who has slept with millions of different women, and could have a disease, or who won't respect me and my wishes. I want someone who is serious about dating, but that I can do fun things with. I want to find the one I will spend the rest of my life with, and sometimes I become afraid that he is not out there.
I have also never been kissed and never dated, although I am flirted with and asked out often by the wrong types of guys who have made it clear they didn't want to just date. I am very intelligent, and I graduate in July with my Bachelor's in Education. I am hardworking, and I have big dreams and goals that I have set out to make happen. I am also a devoted Christian, and I also have very right-winged, Conservative values. I have high morals and class, and I am looking for someone with high morals and high class, who shares in my beliefs. I also want someone hard-working and ambitious, who is independent as I am, is witty and can make me laugh, and who wants to have fun together. I want someone who I can go out with and have fun with, but that isn't going to try something. I am very innocent, and I know this, but I am concerned that I won't find someone who meets my needs. I have high standards, but I don't think they are unreachable. I want to fall in love and get married, and I have had to wait a long time for anyone special to come into my life, despite having many male friends (whom are like brothers to me,) and most of my friends are male. I won't date if every guy out there is sexing up another woman.
So I ask you, am I alone in this? I know there are single, virgin women out there who are looking for a man who shares their ideals, but what about you men? Are there any men out there that plan to save themselves for marriage, and that are serious about it?

3 AnswersSingles & Dating8 years agoWhat is with her?!?!?!?
It's my little sister. None of us (I am 22, she is 18,) have ever been out on a date before, but she insists that she has more experience with guys, and insinuated today that I don't talk to them. This is simply not the case - I have many guy friends that I talk to on a regular basis, but none of them I am truly interested in dating. This is NO DIFFERENT than it is in her situation. In fact, she likes one of her supposed "guy friends" and she turns red every time she talks to him!
Why is she such a know-it-all? She knows NOTHING more than I do when it comes to men, and she seems to think that I can't date a man. I know that I could date any man I wanted to: I am constantly asked out, hit on, and flirted with, but not by the right types of guys. I have high standards, but hers are through the roof. She has turned down some guys who were perfectly good - I have only ever turned down guys that made me feel uncomfortable (talked dirty about me to me, asked for sexual favors, etc.) and the rest have said they find me attractive, but when we make plans to do something together, they flat chicken out!
What do you think about this? Why is my little sister such an annoying know-it-all, when in fact she knows no more about the matter than I do? Also, why does my mother let her get away with such a nasty comment to me, but when I snap back at her, I get into trouble? Do you think this is fair? Can anyone out there relate to this? Thanks for your help, it is greatly appreciated!

I love them, and wear them often, but some can be pretty difficult to navigate in. (They DO take practice!)
Also, after a while, your feet do hurt, and they can cause your foot shape to point outward more...but they are still stylish, classy, and they are a secret weapon for women in the workforce, or in the men-force. ;)
What do you think, ladies? (Men's thoughts also welcome.)
2 AnswersFashion & Accessories8 years agoWhat are your pet peeves?
What are your top pet peeves? Here are some of mine:
1.) Cursing in every other word, or cursing in general. Also, when a man curses around said lady.
2.) Traffic weavers.
3.) People who use the R-word. It's just plain ignorant!
4.) The intrusive "like" in common teen female vernacular.
5.) When a man lets a door slam in my face.
6.) People who don't pick up after their dogs.
This is only to name a few! Your turn!
4 AnswersPolls & Surveys8 years agoIf you could be any animal, what would you be?
Any animal at all...
Is this also your favorite animal?
Okay, I'll start - I love cats, but I specifically LOVE Big Cats. My favorite animal is by far the African Lion - I have always loved them since I was very young, and I have a lot of respect for Lionesses and how they do all of the work for their families in taking care of them. If I could be any animal, I would most definitely be a lioness.
But enough about me, what about YOU?

8 AnswersPolls & Surveys8 years agoWhat do you think about this?
I am twenty-two (almost twenty-three,) and I have never been out on a date. Ever. My parents had a reasonable rule that my sisters and I couldn't date until 16, and could date while chaperoned at age 14 or 15, but I haven't really been asked out - not by the right kind of guys, I mean. I have been asked out by guys that use women, as well as asked men out myself that have rejected my offer. I swear to you, I am a good person. I conduct myself like a true lady - sometimes I feel like I am stuck in the wrong time period, like I should be living in the 1800's or early 1900's. I am as independent as a woman should be, I have two jobs, I am wise beyond my years, I am about to graduate college with my Bachelor's, I am a good Christian lady, and I know that I have a good heart. I am constantly told by friends, family and men how striking beautiful I am, but I never seem to get asked out by any men that aren't looking for a one night stand.(I know this, because they have suggested this after asking me out.) I want to find a good man that loves me for me, and not just because of what I look like. I know that is a part of initial attraction, but I don't want someone who lusts after me, and I have had plenty of men do this!
I have never been on a date, never been kissed, and I have never been in love with a guy. I thought I was once, but it was all smoke and mirrors and the guy turned out to be a jerk. We were never exclusive and I never kissed him or dated him, but we both clearly liked one another.
I want to know, why is this happening to me? Could I be too picky? I try not to be picky, but I can stand to admit that I DO have expectations for the men that I want to date: self-driven, independent, confident but humble, takes care of themselves, upright morals and values. I am not picky on looks, and I have given many men that I wouldn't think twice of a chance, but when it came down to the date, they cancelled and never asked again or just plain chickened out. I honestly would give any guy a chance out there that I thought was a lot like me that I could go out and do things with, and not just lusting after me.
I am fine being independent, but I do get lonely. I am a confident, humble person (as mentioned by my family, professors, and other adult figures,) but I would like to find love and experience it for myself. I have been hurt before, but I am not afraid to get hurt again. I am very inexperienced (OBVIOUSLY) when it comes to talking to and being around men that I have crushes on, but I am always kind. I felt horrible the other day, because this very attractive and kind guy that I have seen around campus offered to carry two display posters and some heavy bags that I was lugging around for me, but I froze because I thought he was cute, and I was quick to say "no, it's okay." It wasn't as much out of pride as it was because I was caught off-guard and didn't know how to respond, although I can be very witty around my friends. When he asked, "are you sure?" I responded with, "I think I've got it," and he said "okay, well if those fall, I am not helping you pick them up!" and smiled with his eyes and winked at me. I was so overwhelmed, I almost tripped over myself, but continued on my way with the load. After I did it, I was kicking myself because I probably damaged his sense of pride, and he probably got the message that I wasn't interested in him. I haven't seen him on campus since. That's just one example of my run-in with men.
I really don't want to be alone forever, despite the fact that I can function alone. I want to get married and have children, and I find myself comparing with my female friends - I know I shouldn't but I am human and I have feelings. Most of my closest female friends are either in a serious relationship with someone, or engaged to be married. Some of them are already married. I don't want to get married right off the bat at my young age, but I would like to believe that in the next 4 or 5 years that I will be settled down.
Can you please give me some advice on what I am doing wrong, or why this is not happening for me? I would prefer male advice, but advice from any other experienced ladies is also welcomed!
