OK I will get some measurements later

Oh.....and we have a 40 ft. camper w/ air and all the goodies ( toilet, shower, t.v.) so camping.........isn't really camping!!!

Oh, now see I would totally do that, but my boyfriend sais that's not camping. He likes to go off the beaten path. Someday I'll convince him to get a camper like that. We have looked at them, but they cost about as much as our house (that's being built) costs! You're lucky!

It really wasnt that bad of a deal. The camper is only a 99 and has all hardwood floors and an oak entertainment center, washer and dryer. It was only 19,000.But it's also a "family" camper. Between me and Adam, my parents and my sister, we all make the payments together. We have a permanent site on about 800 acres of land that costs $600 a year. This includes water and elec. There are only like 20 people who camp on this land so.......it's real remote!! There's private lakes etc. Lots of wild life ( deer, bear, coyotes and wolves).....We just love it!!!If your a city girl like me......A camper like ours is the way to go. All it's missing is a dishwasher. But we can arrange that!!!!

hi every one!
wow...camping...that sounds like fun...!!! ahhhh we hardly ever go out any where (lol) . out of 4 , 2 of my siblings r in london(uk), 3rd = married...and me = at home with parents ( i know how boring! but that is how it is here, we esecially girls are not allowed to live indepently on our own)

Van-
That is an awsome deal on your 40'. New, thoes go for about $200,000.000 here. Where do you live again?

Farkuh-
Sometimes I wish I could move back home with my mom & dad. It is funny how women are percieved. With all the strenght we are given, the gift of bringing other humans into the world, we are treated like helpless little kittens. It kinda makes me want to barf. I was watching a movie mith my boyfriend the other night, about 7 women who were trapped on this island with giant spiders eating everyone. All they did was "cat fight" half naked and dripping wet (from frolicking naked in the ocean), and worry about their lipstick! Whatever.

As far as a diet goes, I watch my caloric intake and work out 6 days a week. I rotate days with floor work with weight lifting. I need to get in some cardio, that's the most important. I'm purchasing a treadmil in the next couple of weeks. That will be daily. The key to working out is to mix it up so your body doesn't get used to the same rutien and become conditioned. Once you achieve your ideal body weight, then you can condition. Try and do something different every day, this will also keep you from becoming board with your workouts.

Autumn-- I live in good ol' Wisconsin.
Things area ALOT cheaper here!!
Even gas. My boyfriend is in CA right now and he said gas is so much more expensive out there then here.

I starteda new job and one of the girls there was a fitness and yoga instructer ofr like 15 yrs. JACKPOT!!!!
She was saying that a BOWFLEX is the best machine to purchase because it rules out every other machine meaning you need no weight, treadmill etc. Does anyone kow how much they are??

Hello Laura-
Of course you can join. Just promise me one thing, keep your focus on your health, not on how you look. I had an eating disorder when I was thirteen, I became verry ill and almost hospitalized. If you can't go to the gym 6 days a week and combine 30 minutes of cardio with some lite to moderate strenght training, then you need to count calories. You can go to this website to find out how many calories you need to cut from your diet: http://www.inch-aweigh.com/dcn.php. Also, you might want to replace meat with soy and bread and pasta with veggies and fruit. (more veggies than fruit) Keep running in P.E. it's great for your heart!

Glad to have you!

Total calorie intake today: 1468... Oh and I exercised too! I did a workout I found in a magazine called The Kickboxing Routine. It is working pretty well so far.. It really gets my blood runnin'! lOl! TTYL!
