You've got some major willpower.
Usually just a few cups Coffee in the morning, but drank pop like crazy. Gave it up mainly because of the sugar and sodium in that stuff. Probably why I'm continuing to lose weight as well...that hasn't leveled off yet. A few pounds every week.. All that caffeine couldn't of been good either I expect. They did give a sugary fruit drink at the hospital yesterday, said it might help. I downed it, took a little bit to get use to...like it was too sweet. Cold turkey may not of been a good idea though, didn't think of that.

Cut out lunch meat totally, bread intake x 70% as well.

Didn't want all the teasing to damage you in some way.

Don't you have to get pre-approved after pre-qualified ? Kind of recall how that goes. Or are they the same?

Pre qualify, a broker goes off of info you supply them. Tells you how much house you can afford. 2nd step is pre-approval, they pull your credit. So the seller knows you can purchase the property if desired and will seriously consider a offer from you. As the institution will back you up. From my experience anyway.

Time to stock up, kids....



They had two gallons of Rain-X windshield washer fluid for $7.49, too. The Evil Empire typically has it for $4.00/Gal. or so, but mine's been out of it for quite awhile.

Are you weighing correctly...makes a difference. I was instructed how to do so lol...not kidding. They want me to weigh first thing in the morning after the bathroom. Tested that, it does vary throughout the day. The math don't add up either.
