I know that a lot of my recent posts have been regarding weightloss. This is totally where my head is right now. I've been fighting and fighting with it for years. So why stop now, right? I'm going to keep going until I find somethng that works for me and something that works for you. They don't have to be the same, we just need them to work, yes? YES!!
So this bit of info, I found in a Woman's Day (issue March 5, 2012). It claims that if you fill up on 10-15 grams of miracle fiber (resistant starch) that it will force your body to burn more fat and cause you to feel fuller faster. Well, what exactly are resistant starches? Here is a list that they had.
Food Grams of Resistant Starch
Slightly green banana 13
ripe banana 5
1/2 C white beans 4
1 C potatoes cooked AND
cooled 3
1/2 C garbanzo beans 2
1 C whole wheat pasta 2
1/2 C brown rice 2
1/2 C peas 2
1/2 C black beans 2
1 slice rye bread 1
1 C corn flakes 1
1 C oatmeal 1
Added benefits of resistant starches:
1. They help prevent diabetes
2. They soothe your belly by boosting good bacteria to reduce bloat and gas
3. They help fight precancerous cells in the colon.
Now as usual, you need to modify your diet, low in sugar and starch. And of course you need some level of exercise. These tips will merely help boost your weightloss. Good luck. Let me know if it works for you.

Bust your belly with supplements!
Ok guys, so summer is right around the block and I know that a lot of you are working on that tummy region. Well, our good ole' guy, Dr. Oz had a show on the other day suggesting some vitamins and minerals that can be used to help with just that. I've taken the liberty of putting them all in one place for you.
I've also done some research and added the best prices found on the web. Please do your own research as I have not purchased these items from these shops. Please also remember that there is no quick fix. Diet and exercise make all the difference in the world. These supplements are just that. Good luck!! Let me know if they work for you!!
7-Keto: Helps boost metabolism by stimulating thyroid gland and converting fat to muscle. Take 100MG in the AM and 100MG in the PM.
Forskolin: Helps the body melt away fat cells. Take 125mg (20% forskolin on the label)in the AM.
Caraway seeds: Helps to diminish the bloated feeling by diminishing gas. Take a pinch after every meal.
Relora: Helps regulate the stress hormone Cortisol which contribute to extra belly fat. Take 250mg 3 times per day at each meal.
And an added bonus to help curb your appetite, try:
Saffron Extract (only the Satiereal blend): Take 88mg twice daily.

NEW Hair tips
Hey guys, saw Tabatha Coffey on Dr. Oz the other day.
She suggests Viviscal (a vitamin supplement) for thinning hormonal hair, it promotes growth and strength. $50 for 60 tablets in most drug stores. Not suggested for balding. Good for hair thinning due to stress or lack of hormones.
If you have dull, grey hair, Aveda makes Blue Mlva which is a violet shampoo. Violet/blue is opposite yellow on the color wheel which means that it will neutralize the brassy, orangey yellow tones.
For brittle and dry hair, try Joico K-Pak Revialuxe $22 (which I can ates too) as a hair treatment. You can find it at Ulta...loooove this product!! Use it up to 3 times a week for dry hair, and once a week for maintaining hair health.
Enjoy guys!!

Coupon Chief
Coupons, coupons, coupons...extreme couponing, double couponing, triple couponing...what does it all mean already?!?!? If you're a girl (or guy) after my own heart, then it means extra bucks to buy more shoes or makeup!! So...on to business!!
I was recently turned on to this AMAZING site called CouponChief.com. At first glance it seems like your average coupon site where you can go on and look for coupons at your favorite store. Upon further inspection, I found that CouponChief.com not only offers to help you save money, but it also offers to send you money as well!! Imagine!!! Interested?? Well, read on my frugalistas, read on!!
So, with CouponChief.com, you can search for your favorite stores...such as Target
or my oldest daughter's favorite store...Spencer's.
Up pop whatever coupons are currently available for either in-store or online...YAY!! Now you can purchase that sheesh-I-gotta-buy-my-coworker-something-cause-she-bought-me-something-unexpectedly-gift at a discount!! Yay!! If you prefer to shop for a specific item, you can plug in the item name in the "Search For A Coupon" field. Try looking for that PS3 that you've been waiting to go on sale all season...or perhaps L'Oreal for that black eye liner that you've been eyeing at the drug store. Either way, search to your little heart's content, you are bound to find excellent coupons.
"How can I make money already," you ask?? Check this out. You know how sometimes you get emails or coupons in the mail from let's say Macy's or Old Navy and you toss 'em because shopping is just not in the budget this month? Well hold on pardner!! Click on the Submit A Coupon tab from the main page at CouponChief.com and input that baby. Whenever people use your coupon, you will receive 2% of the sale!!! You have to sign up to be a part of the program at the Pays-2-Share tab, but how crazy is that?!?!? Ok, so you're thinking...2%...that's bird feed. Really? Well, considering CouponChief.com receives over 250k visitors monthly and let's just say for example a 1000 of those people (that's less than 1%) made just a $10 purchase with your coupon codes, that would net you approximately $200 directly into your Paypal account. It would take a pretty big bird to eat all of that feed buddy!!! And you didn't do a thing, but input a code. Pretty awesome for 2 minutes work, wouldn't you say??
So, bottom line, I LOVE CouponChief, and so should you. Come look for me once you get settled, I'm Ajannasmom of course!!

The Master Cleanse...bum bum buuuummmm...
Ok, so my daughter has decided to join the Navy. Please don't ask, and yes, I'm devastated but supportive. She needs to lose 15lbs so that she qualifies, and I need to lose like 50lbs just cause I'm chunky. She talked me into doing this alleged "master cleanse" with her for 10 days. Not sure how long I'm going to make it, but effort will be put forward. Here are the basics...
7 1/2 oz water
1 1/2 tbs. grade B maple syrup
1 1/2 tbs. fresh lemon juice
a pinch of cayenne pepper
Drink this concoction along with 8oz of water at least 8 times per day or whenever you're hungry.
The purpose of this cleanse is to clean out your body and prepare it for accepting good and healthy foods. Some people use it to lose a few pounds for a special event or what have you, but it's supposed to be an overall cleanse.
So, for us, it's Day one. I've weighed myself just for the purposes of keeping you updated. I will NOT be sharing my actual poundage, only what if anything is lost lol.
So, heeeere we go!!!!
