Choose today to free yourself from any of the chains that bind you. Often you find it's you, who has placed the shackles upon yourself. It's most certainly you, who has the key to remove them!!! You can't ever heal from your past, until you can let it go… You can't move forward to a future, until you can live in today… You can't be happy with anyone in your life, until you can be happy with YOURSELF!!!
Monthly Archives: January 2016
Surround Yourself
Surround yourself by people who are worthy of YOU. Your circle should be full of people who love, support, respect, and truly honor you. Life is to short to be filled with drama, lies, manipulations or people who don't value YOU. Odds are they probably don't value themselves, therefore they don't know how to value others. Share the best that is YOU and surround yourself with those who share the best of themselves too. Wishing you all a day that is as beautiful and blessed as you are!!!
Must be right within yourself, for you to be right with anyone or anything else…
You have to be good with "YOU" before you will be good with anyone else. You have to be good with you, in order for goodness to really surround your life. Unconditional love, success, fulfillment, and true peace only have meaning when you have meaning inside yourself. To love others, to accept others love, you must first love yourself. To know peace, to be at peace with how things are, you must have inner peace and be at peace with who you are. Everything stems from within you. When you are struggling with something in your life, when you feel like something is missing, look within yourself. When you create a loving and beautiful inner you, it will resonate and connect with all else in your life.
Speedbumps serve a purpose…
Speedbumps come into our life for a reason. There are times we are meant to slow down. Don't be annoyed by the bumps in the road, the things that cause you to slow it up a bit or even stop at times. Use these moments to reflect on what is needed. You were stopped or slowed for a reason. Use it in a positive manner, instead of a negative. And remember once you are over the bump, take hold of the wheel, step on the gas and remember you are iin control of your day, your day doesn't control you.

Daily Photo: Maximum Capacity One-and-one-half Cats
In terms of actual physics, the box can only hold most of Mewsette OR Giuseppe, but certainly not both. However a little bit of feline ingenuity solved the problem of sharing the box—each of them has some of the box, and they are perfectly happy with that.
I love my loving siblings and the many wonderful things they do each day. I think I'll try to come back from the store with a bigger box next time, though. Here is what they looked like from above.

The skin possesses a natural elasticity that keeps it firm and structured. This property of the skin is by virtue of a form of protein named collagen that is essential for the body as it helps in the development of the body's connective tissues and structures such as bones, muscles and the skin. As you age, the body stops producing collagen naturally. This affects the elasticity of the skin, and it starts developing wrinkles. To ensure that your skin retains its inherent glory at all times, collagen creams are here for the rescue.
Collagen face creams work to restore the visual appeal and quality of your skin. However, getting the right collagen cream for yourself can be a challenge. There are scores of these products in the market but only a few are truly worth the deal. As such, we have extensively researched every relevant collagen cream available and have gathered the 10 best ones for you. So tag along with us and let's get you the cream that will get your skin looking young and vibrant all over again..
10 Best Collagen Face Creams
1.ReeceThomas Marine Collagen Cream
The ReeceThomas Marine Collagen Cream is the best collagen cream in our list. It is abundant in fish collagen which is known to impart exceptional firmness and strength to your skin. In addition, marine collagen is also loaded with antioxidants and amino acids such as glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, which stimulate skin cells. The algae component in the cream is responsible for the anti-aging characteristics.
The potent composition of the ReeceThomas Marine Collagen cream is primarily responsible for the supreme effectiveness of this product. The cream helps to restore the youthful glow of your skin. In addition, it rounds up as a powerful moisturizing cream which keeps your skin firm and supple. The ample supply of collagen which ReeceThomas offers to your skin helps to rejuvenate your skin cells and reinforce your skin. This is truly a wonder product!
A quality skincare product is complimented by its list of ingredients and the ReeceThomas follows up the same notion. The ingredients in this cream include:
- Mimosa Tenuiflora: It contains flavonois and tannins which soothe the skin and heal the skin. Mimosa diminishes blemishes, wrinkles and fine lines hence slowing down the process of aging, exfoliates dead skin cells and enhances the regeneration of skin cells.
- Ginkgo Biloba: Not only does this ingredient increase the production of collagen, it also protects your skin from the sun's harshness. This herb also rounds up as an excellent antioxidant which provides a constraint to the production of free radicals. Finally, it cleans your skin of gunk, debris and oils.
- Rose essential oil: It is an excellent moisturizer.
- Acacia Decurrens Extract: This provides aromatherapy effects which help to soothe and relax your senses.
Why should you buy the ReceeThomas Marine Collagen Cream?
The ReceeThomas Marine collagen cream has many noteworthy perks to its credit which makes it our top pick for the best collagen cream. These perks include::
- It consists of one of the best sources of natural collagen: marine (fish and algae).
- The cream has excellent moisturizing and anti-aging characteristics.

Although some users complained of a stinging feeling after they started using the cream, they all ended up loving the cream since it moisturized and firmed up their skin. The cream is quite easy to use, and you can use it with other cosmetic products. It is the perfect cream if you have dry and scaly skin. For that matter, it is the perfect collagen cream! You are going to fall in love with this one just like countless people have!
2. Concentrated Naturals Collagen Face Cream[/highlight]
The Concentrated Naturals Collagen Cream is an incredible option if you are looking to strengthen and firm up your skin. The cream has loads of collagen inherently present in its own composition and it combines with the collagen present in your skin to render a natural glow to your skin.In addition, the cream is also an excellent moisturizer, thus making your skin hydrated and supple.
The formulation of the cream is rich in hyaluronic acid which is super effective in rejuvenating skin cells, nourishing your skin and restoring its natural complexion. You start feeling and looking different right from the first week of the cream's usage.
Pros of the Concentrated Naturals Collagen Face Cream:
- The cream is quite effective in fading fine lines, crow's feet, forehead lines, etc.
- It is light in texture and easy to apply.
- You can use the cream with makeup and other cosmetic products
- It gets absorbed into the skin pretty easily.
- The cream is an excellent moisturizer.
Cons of the Concentrated Naturals Collagen Face Cream:

It can be used on different types of skin though.
3. Elemis Pro- Collagen Marine Cream[/highlight]
Composed of Mediterranean algae, this amazing cream rounds up as not only a powerful anti-aging formulation but also an exceptionally good moisturizer. It totally changes the face of (pun intended) dry and dull skin for good, and that too within just 2 weeks of consistent usage.
The cream also contains mimosa which is an excellent anti-inflammatory agent that soothes and heals your skin. Last but not the least, rose helps to nourish and calm your skin while also toning it. Though this cream may incline towards the expensive side, it is worth noting that just a pea-sized amount of daily application of the cream is enough to sere the purpose. So the cream ends up lasting longer than you might presume.
One of the most significant traits of this cream is its composition of natural botanicals. This imparts a very pleasant scent to the cream per se. It absorbs very well into your skin and makes it feel soft, toned and supple.
Pros of Elemis Pro- Collagen Marine Cream:
- The cream absorbs well into your skin
- The composition of natural botanicals impart the cream a very pleasant fragrance

- A little amount of cream is enough to serve the purpose

- It tends to be irritating on the skin for some users
- Its moisturizing capabilities aren't as good as some of its peers
The Elemis Pro-Collagen marine cream has everything needed to be the top product in our list but its price and the fact that it has the potential to irritate the skin to an extent keeps it just inches away from securing the apex position. It is indeed a top quality collagen face cream

After all, you would rather buy an expensive and effective collagen cream, than a cheap ineffective one. The Tonymoly Timeless Ferment snail cream is worth every single penny. The cream has incredible testimonials on various online shopping platforms. It is certainly among the most effective collagen cream, if not the best. The cream's ability to straighten and firm up your skin is almost unrivalled.
Factors to Consider When Buying Collagen Face Cream
Having reviewed a couple of very effective collagen face creams that are available on the market, it is important to mention that results are not typical. Just because a particular cream works on your friend, it does not mean it will work on you. A couple of factors come into play when determining which cream is best for you. Before you settle on any cream above, you need to ascertain that it will work best for you. For instance, skin types make a lot of difference when it comes to face creams. Your skin types will determine how effective a particular cream is for you.
In addition, we had mentioned earlier that your skin could become wrinkled or flabby as a result of a skin health condition. In such instances, it is important that you seek the help of a dermatologist. Reaching for a collagen cream right away might not be the best option. These creams should not be taken as medication for any skin condition unless they have been prescribed to you by a doctor. Having said that, below are a couple of factors to be considered before you settle on any cream.
- Oily or Dry Skin
Your skins moisture level is very important. Healthy skin should be well-hydrated at all times. Skin cells are likely to become weak and flabby if they don't have enough moisture. The result would be wrinkled skin. If you have extremely dry skin, you should go for oily and greasy collagen creams. The will provide the much-needed moisture to the skin. Ensure the cream can be quickly absorbed into the skin. Wearing such creams might not be very comfortable, but they are the best if you are looking to replenish the moisture banks in your skin.
If your skin is already moisturized and hydrated, creamy lotions are the best option. There are easy to wear and can be worn under makeup. They should get easily absorbed into the skin as well. Applying greasy creams on oily skin will leave a mess on your skin. The cream will not get absorbed quickly, and you will not be able to wear makeup over the cream. It will be more of a waste since most of the cream will not get into the skin. There has to be a balance of skin moisture for the skin to look smooth and firm.
- Allergies
Unfortunately, cream allergies are real, and no matter how good a cream might be, your skin might not be able to handle it. Your skin could be allergic to certain compounds for different reasons. It is always important to check the ingredients of the cream and find out whether you are allergic to any of them. If there is any, it is best that you do not use that cream.
If you are not sure, start by applying a peanut portion of the cream and observing the reaction. If there is any irritation, inflammation, or redness that was not there initially, you should not use that cream. Generally, creams that are 100% organic are quite gentle on the skin, although the ingredients might not be very potent. They tend to not be harsh on the skin, although that's not always the case. It is always good to test first before you commence use.
- Price
Ultimately, you can only purchase the cream that you can afford. The creams above differ widely in prices. Generally, pricey creams have more potent ingredients and are more effective. It is best that you always go for the best cream that you can afford. You should never compromise on the quality just to save a few bucks.
Take time to explore the various creams that are within your price range. Check out their capabilities and determine which one is best for you. Go for the best if you can afford it, and your skin is not allergic to it. Some of the creams can be unreasonably priced though. The prices do not only depend on the effectiveness of the cream. You should ensure you get the value for your money.
You should now be able to get the best collagen cream for your skin. You do not have to grapple with early wrinkles and dry skin anymore. The trick is to always understand the structure of your skin and the best ways of taking care of it. After going through the review, you should be able to get a collagen face cream that will keep your skin looking nourished and youthful. Our aim is to ensure you are able to get the best face cream for you among the many that are available on the market. Get one of these creams and restore some glow on your skin.
The RecceThomas marine collagen cream has taken the cake for the best collagen cream but it has done so by only a margin. Seriously, this is a list where every single one of these 10 collagen creams shine. Each of these products have their own set of pros and cons which might be ideal for someone but not so much for another. So weigh on on which collagen cream suits you the best. Your skin deserves nothing short of the best and rest assured, the products in our list are the best collagen creams you can get for yourself. Period. Preserve the glory of your skin and inspire others to follow suit with these wonderful collagen creams. Go for it!

1. What's the private tour type?
Only you and your family, friends or colleagues in this group to visit the destinations listed on the itinerary escorted by a private English-speaking tour guide and private vehicle with an experienced local driver.
2. Is this trip customizable?
Yes. You can either work with your travel consultant to put together an itinerary that fits your specific needs while planning step, or you may work with your tour guide while on tour should you wish to change your itinerary.
If its a small change they will sort it out directly with you. If its a big change they may need to call our office to coordinate it and quote costs if you are adding on to the itinerary.
3. What's the difference between group tour and private package?
Group tour means shared guide and shared vehicle, cost-saving but not customized, and also it is shopping tour, but you can know a lot of people from the group.
PRIVATE PACKAGE means we will provide you with a private vehicle, which is big enough for your group of people, and a private driver and guide for private tours and transfers as listed in our itinerary. Private tour is more flexible and valuable. You could spend more time at places you feel like than what has been scheduled. You could start your tour every day.
4. What's the arrangement of the vehicles for the tour?
Normally customers take care of the international flights on their own, and we can help you to book if you want. And the better thing is that leave the domestic transportation for travel agent, and they can book the train or flights based on your time and tour arrangement, it will be easy for them to change or cancel if there is any emergency.
5. How can we meet the guide at airport or train station?
Just tell the agent that your international flights information and we will arrange the guide and driver at the airport for you on time with your name card, and also the agent will arrange every city's pick up and transfer for you, all you do is to enjoy worry-free trip in China.
6. Should we change our cell phone SIM card in China?
Normally you do not need, if you want to make a domestic call, you can ask help from the guide or hotel. If you want to communicate your travel agent at any time you want, tell them you need SIM card, they will arrange the guide help you to get one when you arrive.
And the SIM card will be 5-16$ with 4-15$ call charge in the card, which will be enough for your whole China tour.
7. What's kind of clothes should we take? And what's about the laundry?
Depends on how long you will stay and also the season, from late April to early Nov. you can just take some light clothes, other time, you need to take winter coat. And you can do the laundry in hotels where you will stay longer, and also different hotels have different charge rates. If necessary you can ask the guide to help to arrange it.
8. What's the difference between shopping tour and non-shopping tour? Which one is better for me?
For shopping tour, you will be guided to some shops to buy things that you are interested, but this is not compulsive to buy, and shopping tour will be cheaper than non-shopping tour, but will be time cost in shops. And non-shopping tour you will not be guided to shops for the whole tour, and more time for sightseeing but more expensive.
If you want to buy something from China, shopping tour is better, and if you just want to enjoy the sightseeing non-shopping tour is the right choice. Also you can chose to have some shopping and non-shopping cities based on your needs if you go on a private tour.
9. How should I apply Chinese visa? Will you travel agent help with that?
Normally you need to go to the local Chinese embassy, and ask them what you should to prepare. And in some countries, they need invitation from China, so you can ask the Chinese travel agent to provide you the travel invitation, and then prepare some other documents, most time you can get the Chinese visa soon. And also you should apply the visa valid duration time based on your travel time, 15days, 30days or 90days.
10. Is it convenient for us to withdraw some money from bank in China? Should we bring cash with us for the tour?
If you hold visa card or MasterCard, you can get money at some ATM, and it will charge you some fee, different rate based on different card or country. Most shops and hotels can accept your credit card. And it is better for you to bring some cash with you, and you can change the cash at airport or hotel or bank, especially for USA dollar or Euro dollar, Australia dollar, most banks can accept that, but the change rate will change a little bit.
11. What if I get lost during the tour in China?
When you find the guide is not with you and can not find he or she in the immediate area, please don't panic, realize that your guide is not far away and he or she is actively looking for you. You will be found soon.
So you can stay where you are and let the guide find you. Do not move far away. This will ensure that you be found in a timely manner.
If there seems to be a problem with your guide finding you, find the nearest phone and call your travel company(local in China), the staff will help you to find the guide in the site. Or you can ask help from young people, because most young people can speak little bit English in China, and they will be pleasure to help you.
12. How far is Beijing airport to downtown hotels? How much it will cost if taking taxi?
It takes 40 ~ 50 minutes to drive from Beijing airport to downtown area.
To take a taxi, it cost around 100~200 RMB depending on the distance of your hotel to the airport. Subway and airport bus express are another good choice too, and they are bilingual instruction with English and Chinese.
13. What if I get sick while travel in China? Should I bring the medicine with me?
If you get sick during the trip, tell the guide or your travel agent immediately, and ask them to bring you to hospital for curing, and most hospital you just register with your passport and can get a doctor. If you catch cold or have loose bowels, just get some medicine in drugstores. If you need some special medicine, it is better for you to bring enough from your country.
14. Do the bathroom match our needs?
Most hotels especially for foreigners have closestool and shower bath, and luxury hotel even have bathtub. The hotels for foreigners are at least 3-star hotels, so the facility will be good.

If your travel will be in holidays, for one thing, your cost will be much more, and another is that you will see People Mountain People Sea in China.
16. Should I tip the guide and driver during the trip?
Although China is not a tips country, it will be better for people to tip the guide and driver if you think they provide you good service, it is not compulsive but it will show that you are gentle and polite.

Stoltenberg : NATO concerned about Russian Poseidon nuclear-powered underwater drone
NATO is concerned about Russia's unmanned underwater vehicle "Poseidon", said Alliance Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, answering BBC's question about the weapon's potential.
According to Stoltenberg, the drone is "another example proving that Russia has increased investment in strengthening nuclear potential."
The Russian Ministry of Defense showed a video of the Poseidon tests in the summer of 2018. "The main advantage of Poseidon is the invulnerability of almost one hundred percent to the enemy's countermeasures," the ministry assured.
The drone, which looks like a big torpedo, is designed to be used against enemy aircraft carriers and ships "in any military operations in the ocean", as well as against coastal infrastructure facilities that can be hit at an intercontinental range. The Defense Ministry reminded that they had successfully tested a nuclear power engine for Poseidon in December 2017.
Last week, US Deputy Secretary of State for Arms Control Andrea Thompson said that the information about the capabilities of Poseidon is part of Russian propaganda. "I do not trust Russian propaganda and I believe in the power of our army," she said in response to a reporter's question.

Negrey, Cynthia L.
Work Time: Conflict, Control, and Change
Cynthia Negrey examines work time past and present, exploring structural economic change and the gender division of labor to ask: what are the historical, cultural, public policy, and business sources of current work-time practices? Topics addressed include work-time reduction in the US culminating in the 40-hour statute of 1938, recent trends in annual and weekly hours, overtime, part-time work, temporary employment, work-family integration, and international comparisons. She focuses on the US in a global context and explores how a new political economy of work time is taking shape.
This book brings together existing knowledge from sociology, anthropology, history, labor economics, and family studies to answer its central question and will change the way upper-level students think about the time we devote to work.

Spring has finally sprung! With spring comes pollen and with pollen comes allergies for many. As the weather gets warmer, pollen counts soar. Atlanta has set all-time records for pollen counts in the past few years and this has become a huge problem for people who suffer from asthma and allergy sufferers as well. Below are a few allergy prevention tips:
- Keep windows in your home and car closed to prevent pollen from entering your home or car. Also set air conditioners the recirculate in your car and home to avoid outside, pollen-rich air.
- The pollen counts are the highest between 5am and 10am, so limiting your outside exposure during those times can be extremely helpful for diminishing your allergies.
- The best time to go outside is after heavy rainfall in the spring.
- Wash your face and hands after you've been outside to remove pollen. Also, change and wash clothes if they've been exposed to pollen.
- Visit your allergist or doctor to see if an allergy shot is for you. Be consistent with your allergy medications for best results.

Slatkin & Co. Scentportables Now Available for $3 Each
Scentportables Refills are now available in single discs for $3 each. Prior to this Bath & Body Works only offered the discs in a single pack or as a single purchase along with a Scentportable.
Scentportables are now sold empty for $4 each.
I'm trying to remember how much the Scentportable unit was originally with a refill. As it seems a little pricy having to spend $4 on the unit plus an additional $3 for the disc.
On a lighter note a few new designs have popped up for Summer which can be seen below.
I think I might have liked the old way they did these with a disc included.
How about you?
If anyone can verify the original price do shout it out as I'm raking my brain trying to remember. Not sure if this is more economical or just more expensive.

United Players of Vancouver Theatre Company began in 1959 as the St. James United Church Drama Group, founded by two English emigrées, Gwen Crowe and Eileen Oliver. The first play was "The Holly & the Ivy" by Wynyard Brown and directed by Ivor Morris. Performances were held in the lower church hall.
In 1963, when the company was incorporated, the name was changed to United Players of Vancouver. The name was chosen to represent the deep bond the members felt for each other, and that bond continues today.
In 1982, Andrée Karas joined the company, becoming President and Artistic Director in June 1983. She continued to work tirelessly for United Players, with her vision inspiring and challenging all who experienced her enthusiasm and joy of theatre. In 2020 CW (Toph) Marshall became Artistic Director, while Andrée became Artistic Director Emerita.
The end of 1989 saw the end of United Players association with St. James United Church. However, it was not until 1991 that the company moved to its current space at the Jericho Arts Centre, to become their resident theatre company.
For over sixty years, audiences have been entertained with wonderful and exciting theatre. Plays ranging from light comedy to Greek tragedy, great plays written by George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, Noel Coward, Tennessee Williams, Neil Simon, Euripides, Anton Chekhov, Charles Dickens, Aristophanes, Molière, Sophocles, Jane Austen and the list goes on.
United Players of Vancouver will continue to bring you, the audience, entertaining and exciting theatre.

A floodplain is the low-lying ground adjacent to a river, stream or drainage subject to flooding. A river terrace is the bench or step that extends along the side of a valley and represents a former level of the valley floor.
Related resource topics for county planning include the following:
The ESRI mxd file of the services used to create the above map.
Rivers are dynamic systems. River channels can migrate laterally as a result of bank erosion and deposition, and vertically as a result of bed aggradation or degradation. Floodplains, terraces, and other features are formed by these processes, and are therefore essentially part of the river system.
Floods occur when a river channel reaches its maximum capacity, often during times of heavy rain or snow melt, water overflows the river's streambanks and floods into nearby areas that would otherwise be dry. This is especially true when water is delivered at a rate faster than the associated soils can absorb it. Floods also occur when a dam or water impoundment gives way and large amounts of water are released suddenly. For the most part, flooding is a natural process that supports channel maintenance, ecological processes, and riparian vegetation. Nevertheless, floods can cause severe human impacts and therefore must be among resource planning considerations.
Within the MAG region, flooding most often occurs from two distinct event types: (1) spring runoff from melting snowpack at high elevations, and (2) summer rainstorms. While either event can trigger flooding, the dynamics of each are different. Snowmelt is a relatively predictable occurrence dependent on the amounts of winter snowpack and rising spring temperatures. Large accumulations of snowpack melting in spring contributes to some localized flooding of floodplains of stream and river channels. In contrast, summer cloudburst events, especially those driven by monsoonal moisture, cause sporadic and localized flooding events on otherwise dry washes and canyons. Thunderstorm-triggered floods are exacerbated in locations recently affected by wildlife fires where vegetation cover is absent and soils are more exposed to erosion and channeling water down slope.
Planning for major flood events should occur at all levels of government. At the federal level, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provides flood data that classifies areas based on their different flood hazards through the National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL) and National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). This enables community officials, emergency responders, and the general public to be informed and plan accordingly to avoid or reduce impacts from floods, guide development, and reduce risk of floods by excluding areas shown as flood hazard areas. Within the MAG region, only Summit and Wasatch Counties are currently mapped by NFHL. Many of the remaining communities are covered by the NFIP, which uses paper maps to assess floodplain locations. A list of communities participating in the National Flood Program can be found here.
County and local planning efforts include the establishment of special zoning regulations in flood-prone areas. However, these are not commonly used in the region.
Best management practices (BMPs) related to floodplains typically focus on avoiding structures and other development within these environmentally sensitive areas. Such practices seek to maintain the natural water storing capacity of floodplains, avoid future damage to human development in these areas, and prevent publicly funded cleanup and restoration of flooded communities [1]. While FFHL and FIRM mapping can be used to direct development away from defined floodplains, many flood-prone areas in the region are not mapped. For flood hazards in these areas, planners often resort to administrative buffers (setbacks of 100 feet or more) between waterways or alluvial fans and the built environment [2].
Major economic considerations for floodplains include higher development costs to mitigate flood risks. Costs include earthen fill to raise building footprints above flood elevations and other flood-control structures on private lands. Flood-control costs may also be passed on to municipal and county governments during flood emergencies.
Another economic consideration is the cost of floodplain insurance to homeowners. Development in areas subject to floods should meet additional flood-proofing requirements. Laws and regulations regarding floodplain management usually vary between communities.
Floods are the leading cause of natural disaster deaths worldwide. Floods also have the potential to cause significant financial impacts in the form of severe damage to structures, transportation systems, and other infrastructure.
Wildfire is a secondary cause of flooding because when vegetation is burned, soils are exposed to erosion. Debris flows below fire scars is a considerable risk until vegetation is reestablished. Planning for revegetation through seeding and other mitigation efforts after fires should be addressed in resources management documents.

Lucas, leave our neighbours alone.. they've had enough!
Following his 'Unlucky' Instagram post following Monday night's Merseyside Derby win, our longest serving player has had another go – at the request of a Liverpool fan!
(Video) Everton fan shouts 'F**k Off 'Ni**er' to Sadio Mane during Merseyside Derby
Liverpool fan account liverpoolfcfansclub retweeted a tweet from an Everton supporter over the summer, which laughed at what we'd paid for Sadio Mane – pretty ironic considering who scored the winner earlier this week.
Naturally, Lucas dropped the 'Unlucky' treatment on them as well – proving nobody is safe!

Before-and-After Weight-Loss Izzie Kennedy
Izzie Lost 135 Pounds Without "Any Form of Strenuous Exercise"
Izzie Kennedy was diagnosed with a rare liver disease at just 14 years old, and her doctor told her that drastic weight-loss measures were necessary to save her life.
Izzie: Before
Instead of opting in for surgery, Izzie turned to her mom for advice — she introduced her to a weight-loss program called Slimming World, which changed the course of her life for the better. With this program, alongside a more active lifestyle (with simple movements!), she was able to get healthy and combat her liver disease.
POPSUGAR: What made you decide to start your weight-loss journey?
Izzie Kennedy: At the age of 14, I was diagnosed with a form of liver disease, which I was told could be greatly improved by losing weight. The doctor at the hospital informed me that unless I took measures to significantly reduce my weight, the next step that would be considered was weight-loss surgery. While I recognize this is an option for lots of people, for me personally, this acted as the real trigger for beginning my weight-loss journey, as I didn't want to undergo such a life-changing operation at such a young age.
During middle school, I had turned to food for comfort as a way of coping through a difficult family separation. On my way home from school, I would buy things like biscuits and sweets from the local shop and simply eat to eat, which at the time seemed to offer some form of solace. This was the time that my weight began spiraling out of control, and in the five years I was at middle school, I gained around 112 pounds, weighing around 290 pounds by the age of 15.
PS: What drew you to Slimming World specifically?
IK: My mom joined Slimming World with a friend. After a few weeks of seeing the amazing variety of foods she was eating and the fact she was losing weight too, I decided it was something that I could try, so I joined a few weeks later. It was the best decision I've ever made! My mom has also lost over 70 pounds now so we've been through the journey together.
"At my biggest, I couldn't even walk for more than a minute due to various health conditions complicated by my weight. Now, I tend to get in over 10,000 steps per day!"
I had been seeing various doctors since the age of 4, as my mom had growing concerns about my increasing weight. No matter what dietary advice we were given, by general practitioners or dietitians, nothing seemed to work, as I couldn't cope with the feeling of being deprived — something I have genuinely never felt with Slimming World.
The reason that I believe this program worked for me is due to the fact that it fit in so well with our family lifestyle. We could still enjoy our family favorite meals, like roast dinners and spaghetti bolognese, without having to make separate meals for each person. Also, the fact that I could still satisfy my sweet tooth by having a treat like a small candy bar each day meant that I always went to bed feeling satisfied.
PS: What's your favorite way to work out?
IK: I have a beautiful Labrador called Millie, who I love to walk for miles and miles a day with my friends at the beach. At my biggest, I couldn't even walk for more than a minute due to various health conditions complicated by my weight. Now, I tend to get in over 10,000 steps per day!
PS: What's your weekly exercise schedule?
IK: I don't really do any form of really strenuous exercise, so it's mainly just walking and running. During stressful periods in my life — for example, taking my exams — I find running to be a great stress reliever!
Izzie: After
PS: How do you keep workouts exciting?
IK: I'm very lucky to live in an area that is surrounded both by beautiful countryside as well as having the beach practically on my doorstep, so finding new local walks to go on with friends really helps me get out of the house and keep active.
PS: How much weight have you lost?
IK: To date, my total weight loss is 135 pounds.
PS: What was the first big difference, other than the number on the scale, that really made you feel proud and excited?
IK: Around six months after starting Slimming World, I had a follow-up appointment with the liver specialists. At this point I had lost around 30 pounds, but I was told that my liver condition had already begun improving and this simply gave me the boost I needed to continue on in my journey.
PS: How do you track your weight loss?
IK: I weigh in each and every week, as well as attend my Slimming World group. I find the group support that you receive hugely important. Being able to discuss and share recipe ideas with other people who are in the same situation as you helps keep the journey exciting, and at times that you may be finding staying on track difficult, there is always someone there to help lift your spirits.
PS: What's a typical day of meals and snacks?
IK: Breakfast: poached eggs and baked beans with grilled mushrooms and tomatoes on whole-wheat toast. Midmorning: some fruit like a banana or apple. Lunch: a baked potato filled with tuna and sweet corn and a big side salad. Midafternoon: A fat-free yogurt and some strawberries. Dinner: fajita rice bowl with salad. Evening: Oreo ice cream sandwich or a snack-size chocolate bar.
PS: Do you count calories? What's the range of calories you eat per day?
IK: No, I did try this before starting Slimming World, but I personally became too focused on the numbers and it really seemed to take away the enjoyment of both cooking and eating. I simply eat until I feel satisfied, filling up on "Free Foods" such as fruit and vegetables, lean meat, pasta, and rice.
Izzie: Before and After
PS: What are the healthy staples that are always in your fridge?
IK: It's so important to me that my fridge is always filled with fresh fruit and vegetables, as when life is manic, it makes it so much easier to reach in and choose something healthy!
PS: How do you strategize for meals out?
IK: I follow Slimming World's Food Optimizing plan now, and it really does allow you to still enjoy eating out. Whether that means asking for a baked potato instead of fries or cutting the fat from a steak before eating it, I never feel stuck when it comes to dining out with friends or family as there is always a good choice to be made.
"I truly feel that you can do anything you put your mind to, and there is a whole community of people waiting to support you every step of the way."
PS: Do you use a fitness tracker?
IK: I only really use the step counter on my iPhone, which has really helped to illustrate to me the difference in activity levels before and after my weight loss. At my biggest, my average step count was around 1,500 and it's now usually well over 10,000 per day! I now look forward to exercise, whereas before absolutely any kind of movement was so tough.
PS: What role did Slimming World play in your journey? Would you recommend it?
IK: The support and love that I have received from everyone at Slimming World has really been crucial to my journey and I honestly believe I wouldn't be where I am today without having joined. I'd love to try and reach out to other young people who are perhaps in a similar position to myself at the beginning, as I remember being there and feeling so lonely. It doesn't have to feel like that; there are so many people just waiting to welcome you and support you along the way. I have real friendships that I have made through Slimming World, and I look forward to catching up with them all each week for weigh-in!
PS: What advice do you have for anyone starting out on a weight-loss journey?
IK: I remember standing where you are now. It feels like there is no hope and that the whole world is against you. All I can say is that I hope you can find belief in yourself because I truly feel that you can do anything you put your mind to, and there is a whole community of people waiting to support you every step of the way.
