I am a mom and full time student. I live 10 miles away from campus, and my mother baby-sits for me during school, and lives only 1 mile away. We are a military family and my husband is going to be in another state, with our car, during the spring semester. Weather in Utah is terrible this time of year, so cycling to school, the store, errands, and to drop off baby is not safe or practical. I also do not think it wise to cart a 1 year old around on the back of a bike in the snow and ice. (I don't even know if there are bikes made for that.) So options are:

New second car: greatly increase costs. We really can't afford a new car. So this would be going to into debt.

Buy a used car with savings: Cheaper without monthly car payment, but still need to pay for gas, registration, maintenance, insurance....the works.

Find a way to get by car-less: inconvenient and impractical, saves loads of money, better for the environment, better exercise.

Any advice on how to do this would be greatly appreciated!
By the way, the bus system where I live is ok, but it will add a great amount of time, as well as strain on my mother's schedule if I used it to get to school. Its doable, but I'm looking for a shorter commute time, if there are any other options available. Thanks!



Answer
You might be able to carpool. Its easier if you know people willing to, but you could also make a post on your school's facebook, ask around, etc. Other than that its more or less whether you care more about convenience or cost. Bus or carpool are both going to have fairly large inconvenience, but is it worth not going into debt?

You could also rent a car for the semester. Still have to pay insurance and whatnot, but way cheaper than buying even a used.

Is there any way for a 13 year old to lose weight, fast as possible, without pills or risks. Please?




Heart Keep


I'm about 40 pounds overweight now.
It's starting to get depressing. I can't take pills to lose weight because I'm 13 and because my mom would have a FIT. So since that's settled... How is the QUICKEST way to LOSE WEIGHT WITHOUT RISKS OR PILLS? And without wasting money...?

So any way to lose weight that's:
1) quick
2) affective
3) easy
4) no risks
5) no pills
6) no money (like no monthly or yearly payments or anything.)

I'm trying to impress this guy, but I really look ugly. Please help, how do I lose weight?!?!? :*(

Answer
Check a BMI calculator to determine how much weight you need to lose to be "normal."

You should find exercise that fits into your daily routine, like walking to school, bicycling to the grocery store, and hiking through a local park. Try to perform these moderate exercise activities for at least an hour every day. Eat more fruits and vegetables, since these are both filling and filled with the nutrients that your body needs.

Let me give you a summary of my meals in a typical day:

Breakfast: A high-fiber cup of oatmeal, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. A pint of coffee or green tea.

Alternatively, a high-protein scrambled egg with an Anaheim or Pasadilla pepper, a handful of mushrooms, and half-cup of cheese, with a topping of Greek or Italian spices. Two bananas.

Lunch: Snacking and a meal at work is one orange and two apples; ten-grain, flax-meal, psillium home-made crackers with a half-cup of spreadable soft feta; a half-cup of cinnamon-sugar almonds; a pint of coffee; a quart of water.

Alternatively, a soup of clam chowder with a half-cup of added mixed seafood such as clams and octopus or split pea soup; dried figs and apricots to satisfy hunger between meals; a half-cup of cayenne-coated sunflower seeds; a quart of water.

Dinner: A half-head of lettuce with thousand island or blue cheese dressing. Two bananas with a glass of milk. Two cups of herbal tea.

Alternatively, a high-fiber, multi-grain and flax meal pasta with red sauce, adding mushrooms, peppers, bok choi, and a few black olives. Another meal is stir-fry vegetables in a ginger terriyaki or vegetable spring rolls with duck sauce. A cup of brown rice or wild rice, not a true rice, as a high-fiber side dish is very filling with green tea or herbal tea.

My daily exercise routine is 16 miles of biking, unless the weather is nasty. If the weather is bad, I run 4 miles a day with a backpack. On my days off work, I usually hike about 5 miles in winter due to snow on my paths and 10 miles in summer. Try to do at least an hour of moderate exercise per day, which can be a commute to pick-up groceries, get to work or school, or a hike in a park or neighborhood.

Check a BMI calculator to set your weight goal. Your BMI should be between 19 and 25.

The best colon cleaners: strawberries, bananas, oatmeal, apples, psyllium husk powder, and flax meal. If these do not work, try a cheap laxative like generic calcium polycarbophil or sennosides. If you still want to pay more for roughly the same effects, try "Acai Berry Cleanse" or Cellular Research Formula "Colon Clear" and "Total Body Purifier." Buy a juicer and pulp apples and other fruits. Make vegetarian stir fry and serve over rice. All of these are safe and effective purifiers.
