Didn’t lose that 20 pounds over the summer like you’d planned?
I’m so with you, sister! I can’t tell you how frustrating it is to see the same number on the scale I started with on June 1. I ran into my girlfriend Toni a month ago–we’d worked together in radio about 14 years ago–and the woman has turned into a shadow of her former self! Toni lost 45 pounds 4 years ago, but more importantly, kept it off. So, she sent me to her people who helped her lose the 45 pounds. I started Total Trans4m 20 days ago and have lost 7 pounds already! The main ingredient is Phaseolamin, which is an extract from the white kidney bean. It essentially acts as a fat and starch blocker, and an appetite suppressant. My first thought was that it wasn’t working because I wasn’t all buzzed out and jittery the way one usually is on diet stuff. It’s drug and stimulant-free, and it’s WORKING! Frankly, I’m still more interested in the fact that you can keep the weight off after stopping the stuff. If you want to join me, the girls over at Total Transf4m are offering a deal: 50% off if you mention “Erin” when you order. A month’s supply is usually $80.00, but you can get it for only $40.00! That’s just a little over a dollar a day! Any of the girls who answer the phone are using the product or already lost their weight on Total Transf4m, so they can answer all of your questions. You can check out the website at http://www.b987.com/ keyword “diet.” Give ‘em a call at 888.315.3779 to order and ask questions. They’re very nice and won’t torture you with a hard sell. If enough of us order, it would be fun to do this together, and I’ll come up with some cool rewards for weight loss. Let me know what you think!

A note from my girl over at the Coupon Project…
“Thanks so much for referring to my post! You know what outrages me just as much as increased prices? Food shrinkage! I was a little bummed that all five boxes of my cereal could fit into ONE Safeway plastic bag!! AYE.Check out my Albertsons deals, too. You can score Post cereal for $0.50 each through Tuesday, too. These are both terrific stock-up deals. Since I started couponing, I realize that I won’t spend more than $1 per box. You can easily do this by paying attention to store sales and using good ol’ coupons!!” Check her out: http://www.thecouponproject.com/the_coupon_project/

Fight back at insane cereal prices!
“The Coupon Project” has a wonderful series of cereal coupons you can use at Safeway through the 31st (Monday.) Cereal prices have always outraged me since The Todd and I took a tour of a cereal plant when we were doing on-air endorsements for a particular brand. They cost SO little to make, and yet they’re $5.00 a box! Outrageous! Anyway, stop by her blog to snap up some coupons and beat The Man at his own game. http://www.thecouponproject.com/the_coupon_project/2009/08/update-on-safeways-cereal-promotion-826-91.html

Hey, Hey, HEY! It’s not your birthday!
It required moving out of Utah and working in radio elsewhere for a decade to realize that we in the Mountain West are a collective group of gropers.
here if a gentleman made an untorward advance, we were supposed to tartly reply, “You’ve got Russian Hands and Roman Fingers, and I don’t like foreigners!” Miss Delores will be delighted to know that her efforts were not in vain, particularly since I spent most of my time in Young Ladies sniggering at words like “untorward.”) The Todd went into a kind of a crouch and backpeddaled away from me like a hermit crab in the middle of a seizure.
