All these moments

Depending of which statistics you read – less than a third of all people who lose weight are able to keep it off permanently or 4 out of 5 people who lose weight are not successful at keeping it off, leading to a yo-yo dieting regimen that recurs each year as they gain and lose weight.

I am reminded of the movie Dangerous Minds where Michelle Pfeiffer plays the part of a an ex-marine teacher who teaches in a tough inner city school. She starts off by giving all the students an ‘A’ and it’s their job to keep and maintain that ‘A.’ She says it’s much harder to keep an ‘A’ than get one. Anyone can get an ‘A.’

Anyone can also lose weight. There are many safe and unsafe ways to lose weight. The people who have the most trouble keeping the weight off are the ones who lose weight rapidly with the latest fad diet or diet pill. There is not much work involved in losing weight with one of these methods. The healthy eating and living habits have not been developed that lead to a healthy lifestyle.

Quick fixes do not last long. Just as quickly as you lose the weight you’ll usually gain it all back and then some. So how do you keep the weight off? How do you become one of the few who lose weight and keep it off?

The people who do this successfully and permanently are the ones who develop better habits and make minor modifications to their life’s choices. They change the meaning that food plays in their life. They add some activity to their couch potato lifestyle. Can you do this? Yes, but it will take some work and effort.

The only way to keep weight off is to start eating a proper balanced diet and start exercising to keep the weight off. And it doesn’t have to be the traditional exercise that many people have in minds when they think of exercise. You can take up pole dancing. I kid you not. They actually give classes on pole dancing and they are becoming pretty popular. Or for a little less risqué you can take up regular dancing.

Set yourself some short term realistic goals. Try to keep the weight off for a week. Then 2 weeks. Then a month. Then 3 months and then 6 months and then for good. You can do this with the right motivation. You need motivation from your friends and family. If you have friends who are always trying to get you to go out and eat make sure you suggest some healthier restaurants.

Combine the right activities and eating habits and you’ll control your weight indefinitely.

Another tip is to start dating if you’re single. That’ll keep you motivated to keep the weight off so you can attract a mate. And then once you start dating take walks. Play basketball, or tennis, or learn dancing. Not only will you have fun but you won’t put the weight back on.

Learning how to keep weight off is just as important as losing the weight in the first place. You don’t want to keep jumping from diet to diet. Simple changes can lead to impressive results over time. Take the first step. Lose the weight once and keep it off. Keep your ‘A’

It’s no wonder that so many celebrities want to call Malibu home. Sitting along 21 miles of prime beachfront land, minutes from the Pacific Coast Highway which can take them anywhere, either towards the city or the mountains, great weather and the chance to live among their peers, Malibu offers the perfect escape after a hard day’s work, is far enough away from that work for comfort, yet is also small enough for a feeling of security and camaraderie.

The current city of Malibu owes its history to one family. The Rindge Family owned all of the land that Malibu sits on now, obtaining it all in 1891. The family pretty much wanted to keep it all to themselves, but the state had other ideas, mainly building the highway through the property. Once the state won that claim, May Rindge, the matriarch of the family, started selling off parts of the property for housing. Malibu Colony was one of the first housing areas to be populated, and many of the early movie stars built houses there along the beach. Eventually, needing more money once the stock market crashed, she sold the rest of it, and it quickly started to grow into what it’s become today. The Adamson House (named after her daughter Rhonda) is actually a historic monument that’s a part of Malibu Lagoon State Park, along with Malibu Potteries, a business May tried to start, which was very successful until the downturn in the economy.

Many of Malibu’s residents live in houses containing beachfront property; it’s a good thing there’s plenty of it. There are multiple beaches; some of them are: Surfrider Beach, Zuma Beach, Malibu State Beach and Topanga State Beach. There are also plenty of parks in the area, including: Malibu Bluffs Park, Legacy Park, Malibu Creek State Park, Leo Carillo State Beach and Park, Point Mugu State Park, the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, and Robert H. Meyer Memorial State Beach.

Strangely enough, as beautiful as the area is, and as close to the ocean as it is, Malibu is also home to many large fires, which have consumed many homes in the area from time to time. The city has strict fire control laws, but fires still happen from time to time. There are also worries sometimes of mudslides every once in awhile when it rains heavily.

Still, the rich, famous, and powerful continue living in Malibu, and if you wanted to go sight seeing, or hit the beaches looking for local celebrities, you’re likely to find many of them. Some of the celebrities who either still live here or have lived here include: Herb Alpert; Jeff Bridges; Charles Bronson; Mel Brooks; Pierce Brosnan; Dyan Cannon; Johnny Carson; Cher; Dick Clark; Danny DeVito; Robert Downey, Jr; Robert Duvall; Bob Dylan; Emilio Estevez; Sally Field; Mel Gibson; Larry Hagman; Tom Hanks; Goldie Hawn; Michael Landon; Rob Lowe; Shirley MacLaine; Walter Matthau; Demi Moore; Bill Murray; Sean Penn; Michelle Pfeiffer; Robert Redford; Burt Reynolds; Linda Ronstadt; Jane Seymour; Martin Sheen; Charlie Sheen; Sting; Barbra Streisand; Dick Van Dyke; and Bruce Willis. And there’s plenty more!

As you can imagine, housing in Malibu is pretty steep. The median price for homes in the area is $1.79 million. Yet, because of the current real estate problems, there are plenty of homes available, which has actually brought the average price per home down around $600,000. That may not mean much when it comes to trying to buy Cher’s home, which is on the market for around $45 million, but in general, homes just under a million dollars are now available in some areas of Malibu. And there’s plenty of opportunities to lease properties also, if you choose to be among the stars, but don’t quite have the money to purchase a home.
