Q. I am getting married in May 2010 and I am 174 pounds right now and want to get down to 130. I am 5 7 and was hoping you could help me by suggesting things that I could do daily to get me down to my goal! Thanks so much.
A. Hey first Congratulations!! :)
I have been doing this routine from past few months, i have lost 15Ibs and gain muscles. I have shard this info with couple of friends they have tired it and few ppl on yahoo have tired it and lost about 2 pounds each week. If you able to lose about 2 Ibs per week (THAT IS 8Ibs PER MONTH = 40iBS IN 5 MONTHS) AND you will be very close to your goal. You will be done before your time so here we go!
I know this is long reply. But please take your time and read this. I know this work.
Water is very good for you and specially if you're on diet and if you're working out-water is very good and keeps you hydrated.
I don't believe in pills or any weight loss shakes-they are bogus and lame and are temporally and have many side effects.
First loose the soda, cut down on pizza and fast food.
If you like fires make 'em at home in oven. They come out very yummy and oil free.
Key is to eat small portions 5 times a day.
Morning: boiled eggs, corn flakes, fat free milk, if you want to fry eggs loose the yolk and eat the white part.
Morning snack around 10:30am-11am: a piece of fruit / 2 cups of veggie/ salad
Lunch: Turkey / Chicken lunchmeat with whole grain or wheat bread.
1 Cup of veggies.
Mid day snack (around 2:30pm or so) a piece of fruit or health bar.
Dinner: Grill fish with veggies / brown rice with beans/ wheat pasta with grill chicken.
9pm snack (optional-only if you feel lil hungry 2 hours before your sleep time) have yogurt.
The key is to loose red meat and pork and add more wheat products to your diet. Drink lots of water. As you can read i did not talk about any sweet products. Sweet only from fruits no cookies no cake no brownies.None of that. Sweet things have more and load and calories. Take your protein because you would need that protein for your work out.
Cardio every day only 30-40 min of cardio. Jog-run, fast walk, bike, swim, dance, stair climbing any of these cardio will be great! just choose one method and stick to it. Or you can do 25 min of biking and 15 min of treadmill. Or just go for Jog.
About 100-200 crunches every other day.
100 crunches in morning
100 crunches at night time
For hips, behind and thighs one thing SQUATS and LUNGES helps a lot!
SQUATS are hard to do in start but once you get use to of it, no problem
for butt is "BUTT BLASTER" EXERCISE. You can do it in your bedroom. To see how to perform those exercises, you can go image google put the key word and check out the pics and that will give you idea on how to perform those exercises. All the exercises i told you, you can do it in your bedroom, no need to go to gym or buy any equipment.
Start by doing 3 sets of 15 each.
Believe me you will see results within a month.
I have told other people too, this entire veggies and fruit intake will make you very regular and you will make about 4 trips to the bathroom, so be prepare.

I am redecorating my room with a beach/ocean theme, but I'm 21 and I want it to be sophisticated, any ideas?
Q. I am trying to steer away from seashells and waves and fish decorations, but I love the idea of a calming, ocean-themed bedroom. Do you have suggestions for how I could do this without being juvenile?
A. Create an accent wall behind your headboard with a tropical mural.

Anyone have any tips on how to give an uncooperative cat his medicine?
Q. I need to give these small pills to my cat for about a week because he has a cold. anyway its the second day and it was really hard trying to give him the pills because he either shuts his mouth tight or spits out the pill. any tips?
A. 1. Pick up the cat and cradle it in the crook of your left arm
as if holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either
side of cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while
holding pill in right hand. As cat opens mouth, pop pill into mouth.
Allow cat to close mouth and swallow.
2. Retrieve pill from floor and cat from under chair. Cradle cat
in left arm and repeat process.
3. Retrieve cat from bedroom and throw soggy pill away.
4. Take a new pill from foil wrap. Cradle cat in left arm holding

to back of mouth with right forefinger. Hold mouth shut for a count of ten.
5. Retrieve pill from goldfish bowl and cat from top
of wardrobe. Call spouse in from garden.

by large piece of fillet steak. Hold head vertically and pour 1/2 pint
of water down throat to wash pill down.

Where can I find cute, funky, but affordable bedding online for teens?
Q. I want a cute new bedding collection, that is preferably hot pink, and I can't seem to find one that still is affordable. By affordable, I mean $100-$200, maybe a bit more. Are there any sites you know of? And please, no PBTeen or Target; I already looked there.
Oh, and I have a Queen sized bed, if it helps.
Also, right now my walls are light blue. If there is any pink and light blue bedding, that is best, but I can paint the walls at any time.

A. How about a store like JC Penny? Lots of stores will have teen type stuff because of like students looking for dorm stuff.
