The Esoteric World of Understanding Credit Scores
The Jackson family just recently lost their only means of transportation when the family’s SUV engine died rendering it useless. The family’s SUV met its surmise in the morning as the Jackson’s were heading out to work and school. Mr. Jackson, the sole breadwinner, worked as a fireman and was usually dropped off at the firehouse right after their three kids were dropped off at school. On this particular morning the vehicle never made it out of their driveway. The children became frantic as they wondered if they would be able to make it to school. Each kid wanted to know why, what, and how as they inundated their parents with a flood of questions. Mr. Jackson began interrogating Mrs. Jackson about the last time she took the SUV in for an oil change. Mrs. Jackson began to feel as if she was being blamed for the vehicle breaking down and became irate. Mr. Jackson raised his voice as he expressed to his wife the importance of vehicle maintenance. Mrs. Jackson, who was usually always calm, unknowingly began shouting in an attempt to be heard. Simultaneously, the children all started yelling amongst themselves while their parents jousted in an attempt to knock the other down with insults. The ruckus reached a fever pitch then abruptly stopped as Shelly, the youngest of the children, began to cry.That morning the Jacksons all made it to their destinations because of the support of their friends. After having the vehicle looked at by their mechanic, a decision was made to purchase a new SUV because the cost of repairs outweighed the cost of acquiring a new vehicle loan. Besides, the SUV was six years old and the couple figured it was time to get a new one. The Jacksons knew that they both had excellent credit and getting a loan through their credit union would be a cinch. So, Mrs. Jackson gathered their information and applied online for a new vehicle loan through their credit union. They were instantly approved for the auto loan and they were awarded the best rate available because of their excellent credit scores. When Mr. Jackson was dropped off at home later that evening, Mrs. Jackson greeted him with the good news. With the loan already approved, the couple decided that they would go shopping for a new vehicle on the weekend.When the couple arrived at the first dealership, they were bombarded by salesmen asking them if they needed any help. Mr. Jackson knew that he held a slight advantage over the dealer because he already had funding for his loan. He figured that he could go in and shop around and not worry about being approved for a loan or haggled on the price. The couple finally decided on a vehicle they both liked and was ushered into an office to close the deal. When the salesman sat down he instantly began to tell them about the benefits the vehicle offered. He talked about the upgrades they could get and the importance of adding an extended warranty to protect the vehicle. Mr. Jackson denied all of the offers and said that he already had financing. Without breaking a sweat the salesman asked Mr. Jackson if he did not mind telling him what rate he was getting. Mr. Jackson said sure and told him the rate. The salesman then told the Jacksons that he could get them a much lower rate than the one their credit union was offering. Mr. Jackson quickly said, “No, we are going to stick with the one we currently have!” Then the salesman gave them an offer they could not refuse, he said that he could knockdown the rate by up to 2 percentage points. The salesman then left the office to give the Jacksons some time to think about it.Mrs. Jackson was really hesitant about using another lender and did not want to go through the trouble of applying somewhere else. Mr. Jackson was intrigued by the lower rate and wonder how much he could save per month. They both worried about having their credit pulled again because they did not want their credit scores to go down. The salesman came back in and asked them if they had made a decision.Hesitantly, the Jacksons decided to see how much lower of a rate they could receive. When the salesman came back with the numbers they were blown away by the difference. The biggest variance was that of the credit scores. The Jacksons wanted to juxtapose their scores with that of the dealer. Mrs. Jackson pulled up their current credit scores through an online site and told the salesman what their scores were.The salesman showed them their scores and it was almost 100 points higher than the online site scores. Mr. Jackson decided to call his credit union and ask them what their scores were. The credit union scores showed a difference of almost 50 credit points. Feeling flabbergasted and frustrated the Jacksons decided to hold up on the auto loan until next week. When they arrived at home, Mr. Jackson immediately went online to order his FICO credit scores. Again, these scores were also different. The Jacksons decided to wait until Monday so they could talk to their banker about the varying types of credit scores.That Monday morning the Jacksons came into my office with an abundant amount of questions about their credit scores. I sat them down and offered them some water or coffee; but they both refused because they were focused on getting down to business. I explained to them that the rate we gave them was the best rate that we offered and we did not negotiate on our rates. They wanted to know why their credit scores were so different with each pulling. I told them that their credit scores depended on what credit scoring system was used when it was pulled. I told them that there are three credit reporting agencies and each of them has different scoring ranges for their credit scores. Equifax score ranges are from 280 to 850; Transunion are from 300 to 850; and Experian are from 330 to 830. Each of them may have different information being reported to them from different sources and creditors. Thus, because of these differences the credit scores could be different by several credit points. In addition, FICO has its own scoring system. Contrarily, the information FICO use is being pulled from the three major credit reporting agencies. So, your FICO Experian score may be different than your FICO Equifax score. On top of that, the three major credit reporting agencies has joined together to create their own unique scoring system to challenge the dominance of the FICO scoring system. Their new system is called the Vantage Scoring system and they scores range from 501 to 990. I also explained that each of the credit reporting agencies have specific scoring systems for auto lenders, mortgage lenders, and other lenders of different loan types. I also told them that most of the free online credit score sites may use different reporting agencies as due lenders.They looked more confused when I finished than when they arrived in my office. I told them that the best way to be at ease about their credit is to pull all three credit reports and make sure that all the information is correct. Some information may not be reported or some may be fraudulent. In any case you may want to dispute some of the erroneous information or file a police report for the fraud. I told them to not worry about the inquiries because the scoring systems are intelligent enough to know that you are car shopping and not just randomly having your credit pulled. For instance, with FICO, an applicant can do 30 or more inquiries in a two week period and they will count it as one. Also, many underwriters know when someone is shopping for the best rate and will not look at the inquiries as a negative thing when making their decision.Before they left my office, I told them to contact a credit professional because understanding how your credit work can be quite confusing. They both stood up and shook my hand and said that they felt better since I had explained to them why they were seeing different credit scores. As they left, I could sense that they still had a lot of questions, so I recommended to them some credit consultants who could help them. They thanked me and because I was so helpful and nice to them, they decided to keep the loan with us as a show of their loyalty.Understanding how your credit work can be quite tedious. I would recommend that you pull your credit at least once per year. If you have any questions or don’t understand how to fix or repair your credit, please contact a professional.
Finding the Best Mexico Insurance Solution For Your RV
For the bold and adventurous RV enthusiast, Mexico can be an RVers paradise. There are hundreds of incredibly scenic and not too crowded RV parks up and down the shores of the Baja Peninsula and Mexico’s Pacific coast. The weather is nice, the sport fishing is great, the surf is always up somewhere, and the free-spirited culture makes for a friendly and entertaining community. But before the fun begins, you need to make sure your beloved travel companion, your RV, will be protected with the proper insurance in Mexico.For those of you not familiar with the rules about Mexican auto insurance, here is your crash course. Mexican authorities, meaning the Mexican police and the Mexican court system, do not recognize US or Canadian vehicle insurance. At a bare minimum, you must get a Mexican liability auto insurance policy to pay for damages you might cause to third parties. If you do not have liability insurance that is underwritten by a Mexican insurance company, you could face a real nightmare if you were involved in a traffic accident. If you are in a traffic accident in Mexico and you can not prove that you can pay for the damages you caused to a third party with a Mexican insurance policy, there is a good possibility that your vehicle will be impounded and you will be detained until you come up with the funds to pay for the damages. All of this hassle can be avoided if you have a Mexican liability insurance policy that demonstrates your ability to pay for the damages. So always purchase a Mexican insurance policy before you drive your vehicle into Mexico.OK – So now that you understand that you must get a Mexican RV insurance policy, you are now probably wondering where to purchase this insurance, and what coverage do you actually need. This article will give you a road map of how to shop for your Mexico RV insurance.Is your RV registered in the US or Canada?This actually can make a huge difference in the options available to you for insuring you RV in Mexico. Many US RV insurance companies have recently introduced special RV insurance programs which actually extend physical damage and theft insurance coverage in to Mexico. Sorry Canadians, at this time there are no Canadian RV insurance companies who extend any type of RV insurance coverage into Mexico, but perhaps this will change in the future. Until then, this portion of the article only applies to US registered RVs.Some US RV insurance carriers extend physical damage and theft coverage in to Mexico.So if your RV is registered in the US, you may want to seriously consider getting your US RV insurance through a US RV insurance company who extends physical damage and theft coverage in Mexico. At the time of this article, these companies include Progressive, National Interstate, and AIG. If you go with one of these US carriers, you will only need to purchase a Mexican liability insurance policy instead of a Mexican full coverage insurance policy. Because these US carriers will pay for damages to your RV while it is in Mexico, this alleviates the need for you to also purchase any type of physical damage and theft coverage through the Mexican insurance carrier. A Mexican liability only policy is much cheaper than a Mexican insurance policy which includes physical damage and theft coverage.Example of cost savings when you have US RV insurance that extends physical damage and theft coverage in to Mexico:Cost of your US RV Policy for an RV worth $80,000: $800 per yearCost of your Mexican liability only policy for 6 months: $125Total Cost: $925Example of your cost if you have a US RV policy that does NOT extend physical damage and theft in to Mexico.Cost of your US RV Policy for an RV worth $80,000: $800 per yearCost of your Mexican full coverage policy (liability and collision / theft) for 6 months: $700Total Cost: $1,500As you can see, you can save a considerable amount of money by going with a US RV insurance policy that extends physical damage and theft into Mexico. It becomes a two for the price of one insurance policy.Tips for shopping for US carriers who extend into Mexico: Make sure to ask how far into Mexico their coverage will extend. Some US companies only extend coverage 25 miles into Mexico, so make sure to ask specifically about this. Only buy a policy that covers your RV for the entire country of Mexico.If your US RV insurance extends into Mexico, you will still need to purchase a Mexican liability insurance policy for your RV. Do not forget to purchase your Mexican liability policy!Mexican insurance for Canadian registered RVsAs stated previously, there are currently no Canadian insurance companies who offer RV insurance programs that extend coverage into Mexico. So if you want to physical damage and theft coverage for your RV while it is in Mexico, your only option is to purchase the physical damage and theft coverage through the Mexican insurance carriers. This is not a terrible option, but you will need to do some careful shopping to make sure you are getting quality Mexican insurance for your RV. This option also applies for US registered RVs that are insured with a US company who does not extend physical damage and theft coverage into Mexico.Where to purchase your Mexico RV insuranceAlthough you could wait till the last minute to buy your Mexican insurance at the Mexican border, most RVers choose to plan ahead and purchase their Mexico RV insurance through a US or Canadian insurance broker well in advance of their Mexico trip. The internet is the best place to find a company who sells Mexico RV insurance.Not all Mexico RV insurance is the same!When shopping for Mexico RV insurance on the internet, you can either get a quote directly off of the website or you have the option to call to get a quote over the phone. This process usually takes only a few minutes. Many of the internet websites for Mexican insurance offer multiple Mexican insurance carriers, so you will be able to compare prices and insurance coverages in order to select the best plan for your situation.When comparing Mexico RV insurance, make sure to research the following coverages and benefits.
Deductibles: Make sure to understand your deductibles. Some Mexico RV insurance deductibles are based on a percentage of the value of your RV. For rigs valued over $50,000, these deductibles can get really high. Some other companies offer fixed deductibles which will lock in your deductible at a fixed amount regardless of the value of your RV.
Labor rates for repairs made in the US or Canada: Make sure to look for Mexico RV policies that allow you to repair your RV in the US or Canada, and check to see what the hourly labor rate is that the Mexican insurance company will pay for these repairs. Some of the less expensive Mexico RV policies will only pay $20 per hour for US repairs, while some of the better Mexico RV policies will pay $75 per hour or whatever the current US labor rate is. This is obviously the preferred choice.
Liability Limits: With insurance, higher liability limits are always better. It is recommended to get a minimum of $70,000 worth of liability insurance in Mexico, but many policies will go as high as $300,000
Legal Service: All of the quality Mexican insurance brokers will include legal services at no extra charge. Do not buy a Mexican insurance policy that does not include legal service coverage.
Medical Evacuation, Plane Tickets Home, and other Travel Assistance coverages: Some of the better Mexican insurance vendors will also bundle in these travel assistance coverages at no extra charge. These are excellent coverages to have, so it is highly recommended to find a Mexico RV policy which includes these extra travel assistance insurance coverages.If all of this information has your head spinning with questions, you can always call a Mexican insurance broker and let their customer service people answer your questions. If the vendor has a website, make sure they have a valid insurance license listed on their website, and they should also have links to their Better Business Bureau statistics available. Unfortunately, there are some vendors who are more professional than others, so do some research to make sure you are working with a quality insurance broker who has a solid reputation.Armed with this information, you should be on your way to properly insuring your RV while in Mexico. Once the Mexico RV insurance is secured, you can then focus on having a fun and exciting RV adventure in Mexico.
Current Health News Sources Need to Be Reliable
Having constant access to new information and current health news is an exciting part of modern life. But recently there have been a number of email hoaxes and internet scams that have resulted in a more cautious public when it comes to finding out the latest in health bulletins. Your best bet when searching for medical information online is a website that does not attempt to sell anything and does not require a paid membership to view the contents.Emails are still the number one source for medical misinformation. A rather disturbing email hoax that made the rounds recently told people that they were getting a virus from boxes mailed from a specific company. The company received endless calls asking about the “virus” and there were a number of people that not only called but asked where their boxes were, stating that they were clients of the company and willing to risk the imaginary virus in order to get the nonexistent box.Another unreliable source for current health news is any internet site that sells a product that is supposed to cure whatever terrible disease that the same site is stating is an epidemic. First the scam artists discuss in urgent tones a life threatening illness and then they claim that best cure is the medicine or equipment they are selling. Any medical information site that tries to scare you into buying something is not a good source of information.Some sites actually ask for money before they give you answers. Membership fees, answer fees, or access fees are all names for basically charging you for information that should be publicly available to all. Most medical information is available via search engines but it can be a bit laborious slogging through all the search engine results. It’s great to have one site that you can do a search on for a specific topic or just review current health news, but not if the purpose of the site is to make money off of you. There are several high quality websites that you can access that provide excellent medical information and news without charging you.Be sure and be cautious when looking for up to date medical news and information. Find a reliable website that does not charge you, and make sure that you take all email notifications with more than a grain of salt.

Health Care – A Populist Solution
It should be obvious by now that the U.S. health care system is not going to be happily corrected from the top down. If we truly had a free-market competitive system with many insurance companies vying for the public’s business, that should bring prices of their service down, right?How can our President be an honest broker in a negotiation with the fabulously wealthy health insurance corporations, the pharmaceutical industry, and others who were major contributors to his election? It simply is not going to happen. These folks have spent a lot of money and time to get their corporations into a position where they have got the most profitable game in town, and — as we have seen with the heavy Wall Street influence on this administration — they are not going to be forced to give it all up, just to make the American people happy.An article recently appeared in the newspaper by T.R. Reid, which gives a rundown of the administrative costs of various health insurance plans around the world, with ours included. The U.S. topped them all at 20% being spent on paperwork, reviewing claims, and marketing. The European countries and Canada ran about 4-6% administrative costs. Taiwan came in the lowest at 1.5%! It shouldn’t require private detective sleuthing around the corridors of power in Washington to help us figure out that Americans are under the thumb of an uncompetitive and — I may as well say it — corrupt system.We have a system where the people with the most to gain, “gain access” to our political leaders with the help of well-connected lobbyists to get their views heard. Then, when election time rolls around, mega-contributions flow into the appropriate party’s account in return for favorable legislation that allows the corporations to maintain their strangle-hold on our shrinking American economy. It’s all a highly-ritualized dance here, but in any Third-World country the same general process is called corruption and influence-buying. The results are the same, whatever we call it.So how do we, as a nation, break free of the hold the Health Care Industry has on our economy? It is really very simple. We must use one of the few freedoms we have left: Boycott these industries that have been overcharging us for years. And give up the naive notion that your elected representatives will negotiate a fairer deal(for you and me) with the industries that paid to put them into office.Now, I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, “If I give up my current health insurance and something happens to me or one of my family, we’d be sunk!” You have a point, there.It’s a shame to live in fear of something, out of your control happening to you, isn’t it? But what about the elements of your health that you CAN control? So much of our long term disability develops from simple everyday choices we make that lead to our weight gain, or whether we smoke, whether we drink too much. These are all controllable if we choose. I choose — do you?Are you doing everything you can to reduce your need for health care? There are many peer-reviewed medical studies showing the health benefits of a primarily vegetarian diet, combined with daily cardiovascular exercise, being very effective at reducing bad cholesterol, lowering high blood pressure, maintaining a healthy weight, etc. Are you availing yourself and your family of these proven do-it-yourself healthcare measures?Both Health Reimbursement and Health Savings Accounts Offer More Treatment Options and Lower CostsIf you can afford to enroll in a Health Savings Account and live with a $5000 deductible health insurance policy, this has many advantages, not the least of which is slashing the tribute you pay for unused medical care you will get through a standard health care policy. If you are in a high-risk profession where major injury is possible, then this may not work for you. For most people, however, it will.How about we boycott the pharmaceutical drug industry to the extent we can?Take a hard look at the prescription drugs you and your family take. How many are really necessary? In many cases, Big Pharma has just cooked up drugs that are letting you slide by without changing your unhealthy habits of eating, drinking, smoking, and not enough physical activity. They have dreamed up new “medical conditions” like GERD (gastric reflux) which in many cases is just caused by what used to be called indigestion — you ate a bunch of greasy, fatty food just before bed and, as your stomach churned and labored to digest this overly-rich mess, the stomach acid backed up your esophagus. Are you willing to stop eating like that, to save yourself money and be part of a movement to get the attention of the pharmaceutical industry?Are you willing to quit eating pepperoni pizza for a midnight snack? What ARE you willing to do to get your freedom back from the sickness-care and prepared food industries who are getting rich off a tag team attack on your health?In these hard times — and no, the downturn is far from over — wouldn’t it be smart to stop paying so much for fattening foods and the medical problems they cause?Go down the list of pharmaceuticals you take, read some books on the subject of legitimate alternative diet and health practices that would make these drugs unnecessary. Then, take personal action yourself to correct the problem. I must warn you, under threat of prosecution, that if your doctor has you on statin drugs or some other major medication, that you must get the help of another doctor to help wean you off them. Dr. Dean Ornish and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn have some good books out that can give you solid proof that what I am saying is true and do-able.Dr. Esselstyn has a list of health care professionals on his Web site who can help transition you off many pharmaceutical meds. Another good source for this information is Dr. John McDougall — offered for free on his Web site.It can be done, the only question is whether the American consumer of so-called health care products and services will have the courage and gumption to do anything about it. The average American has a clear choice here: to continue their comfortable habits, even though they are growing slowly fatter and sicker, or to make a stand for freedom, when all the odds are stacked against them? It won’t be easy, but nothing feels as good as freedom and trouncing a bunch of rich fat-cats who have been ripping you off for years!Our politicians don’t care as much about our little votes as they desperately seek the huge campaign contributions of the Pharmaceutical and Health Insurance Industries. We have no power unless we learn — and we can learn — to live without most of these rip-off-priced health care services.It will take a consumer revolt — a Boycott — over a period of time, to get the attention of the industries that own the political power in the USA.All Big Pharma understands is the bottom line. If their sales in this country go down, they will be forced to listen and do something. (Have you read the list of side-effects? You are better off not consuming these pills anyway — there are legitimate doctors who can provide you with healthy alternatives.)What we need to do is make it clear that Big Health Insurance is next on our boycott listTo a great extent, what I am proposing is already taking place. Many people, like me (and perhaps you, too?) are offended by the high costs and narrow options for treatment our present medical/insurance system offers, so we’re not participating. The Obama administration has made some noises about making it compulsory that everyone — Everyone?! — pay into a health insurance system, except Senators and Congressmen and -women and, of course the President. We’ll see how that goes over.Most of the diseases that kill us and those that disable us are preventable. Our diet is the biggest source of our fatal diseases. We have been brainwashed since childhood to overlook this obvious culprit that causes us so much pain and frustration. It is up to us to start seeing the elephant in the room and retake our freedom and a large part of our personal budget back from the people who are profiting off our food-caused sickness.The only question is, ” How much abuse will Americans take at the hands of the overpriced Health Care Industry before we stop being played for suckers?”Stop begging the politicians for help and get healthy. It’s free! Show the Symptom-Relief industry you don’t need them any more!Then prices will come down as we negotiate from a position of power. Cut out the middlemen — the insurance industry — and pay cash for services you want. That’s how the consumer gets a bargain in any negotiation, not by asking the federal government to add a new layer of bureaucratic expense.
Benefits of Choosing the Correct Weight Loss Program For Fast Weight Loss!
The best way to lose weight is not to crash diet or have bursts of exercise, but to make slow changes. The best way to make these changes and stick to them is to make a weight loss program. This can be used to set out your targets, how you are going to achieve them, and changes as they occur.In order to lose weight you need to asses your energy intake. Food is used as energy for your body, and any energy not used is stored as fat. It is therefore essential that you only take in the energy you need and increase your activity level in order to lose weight. When reducing your calorie intake, it is essential that you make changes that you are likely to stick to as crash diets may lead to ‘yo-yo’ dieting. Eating around 300-500 calories less per week will lead to a weight loss of 1-2lbs a week, while it is not much weekly it adds up to around 52lbs per year. It is also important not to skip meals as this might cause you to overcompensate later in the day and snack more. Increasing activity levels can be done easily for example trying to do 20 minutes of walking a day, such as walking short journeys than using the car. By finding something that you enjoy you are more likely to stick to it.By using a weight loss program you can implement these changes and stick to them. It may also work best if you write your plan down, keeping a note of your targets, changes in weight and achievements to help you keep on track. Whilst you may not see any immediate changes, stick with it. Don’t let any weight gain put you off, and instead look at your program and see if anything needs to change, such as increasing your activity levels. And when you reach your goals celebrate by treating yourself to something such as a night out or a new outfit to make your weight loss even sweeter.Another aspect of your weight loss program could be a food diary. By writing down all the food and drink you take in during the week you will find it easier to see where you are going wrong. You can review the diary at the end of each week to get a clearer picture of just how much calories you really are consuming. If your diet looks healthy and yet you still aren’t losing any weight, you could need to look at your portion sizes to make sure you are simply not eating too much.Any changes that you do make will be most effective if introduced gradually. This will mean that you are more likely to stick to them, meaning you can introduce more without feeling under too much pressure. Easy changes to make include; swapping white bread for brown bread, full fat milk for half fat milk, cutting out snacks etc. You should also choose a weight loss program that encourages gradual weight loss rather than immediate weight loss. By doing this, the weight you lose is more likely to stay off and, by setting achievable monthly targets rather than unrealistic weekly targets, you are more likely to meet them.When choosing a weight loss program it is important that you choose one that is right for you. The most important factor to consider is your health, so don’t be choosing a plan that has outrageous claims and could possible be risky. Set achievable goals and make changes that you are likely to stick to for the rest of your life, keeping the weight off for good.The best way to lose weight is not to crash diet or have bursts of exercise, but to make slow changes. The best way to make these changes and stick to them is to make a weight loss program. This can be used to set out your targets, how you are going to achieve them, and changes as they occur.In order to lose weight you need to asses your energy intake. Food is used as energy for your body, and any energy not used is stored as fat. It is therefore essential that you only take in the energy you need and increase your activity level in order to lose weight. When reducing your calorie intake, it is essential that you make changes that you are likely to stick to as crash diets may lead to ‘yo-yo’ dieting. Eating around 300-500 calories less per week will lead to a weight loss of 1-2lbs a week, while it is not much weekly it adds up to around 52lbs per year. It is also important not to skip meals as this might cause you to overcompensate later in the day and snack more. Increasing activity levels can be done easily for example trying to do 20 minutes of walking a day, such as walking short journeys than using the car. By finding something that you enjoy you are more likely to stick to it.By using a weight loss program you can implement these changes and stick to them. It may also work best if you write your plan down, keeping a note of your targets, changes in weight and achievements to help you keep on track. Whilst you may not see any immediate changes, stick with it. Don’t let any weight gain put you off, and instead look at your program and see if anything needs to change, such as increasing your activity levels. And when you reach your goals celebrate by treating yourself to something such as a night out or a new outfit to make your weight loss even sweeter.Another aspect of your weight loss program could be a food diary. By writing down all the food and drink you take in during the week you will find it easier to see where you are going wrong. You can review the diary at the end of each week to get a clearer picture of just how much calories you really are consuming. If your diet looks healthy and yet you still aren’t losing any weight, you could need to look at your portion sizes to make sure you are simply not eating too much.Any changes that you do make will be most effective if introduced gradually. This will mean that you are more likely to stick to them, meaning you can introduce more without feeling under too much pressure. Easy changes to make include; swapping white bread for brown bread, full fat milk for half fat milk, cutting out snacks etc. You should also choose a weight loss program that encourages gradual weight loss rather than immediate weight loss. By doing this, the weight you lose is more likely to stay off and, by setting achievable monthly targets rather than unrealistic weekly targets, you are more likely to meet them.When choosing a weight loss program it is important that you choose one that is right for you.
