Beginning Drupal Themes

A great looking but static website.
This is where the CMS or content management system comes in and this is why Drupal is the cream of the crop of content management systems. With Drupal you can build crazy websites with all the bells and whistles. First you can search online for drupal themes. Most feel like they need to be an expert to change the themes for Drupal or that if they mess with them they could screw up the site. So to get a little better understanding of what the theme is, it is basically a set of template files, mostly html with a little php. Go ahead find a theme you like put in in your sites, all, themes folder and mess with the code. Usually a node.tpl.php and a page.tpl.php a CSS file normally called style.css. and an info file.

Tips For A Weight Loss Schedule

Venus Factor Plan
The first step for healthy weight loss is to create some sort of weight loss plan.

YOUR weight loss plan should include such simple things as what activities (exercise) you are going to indulge in, when, where, and so on. Why have a formal, or at least semi-formal, weight loss plan?
Here are a few tips to consider when putting together YOUR personal weight loss plan:

1. Make your goals realistic:
Using some movie star's weight or a relative's weight as your goal is also possibly detrimental to actually accomplishing effective weight loss. Most people do not realize that a healthy weight loss program should, for most people, result in a weight loss of only a pound or so a week. I have a close friend who was so desperate to lose weight that she opted for gastric bypass surgery. That works out to 1.35 lbs a week, which would be a healthy weight loss that most people could achieve through a combination of physical activity and proper nutrition.

2. Do not focus on weight loss:
I know that sounds strange since your goal IS weight loss, but it is easy to see failure if you are only looking for weight loss. A temporary setback where weight is regained becomes inflated if viewed against the background of only weight loss. How many ways can you approach "weight loss"? NOTE: People who begin exercising as part of their weight loss program often experience a weight GAIN somewhere in the first few weeks of their new exercise experience. If you have just begun exercising to lose weight and experience a weight gain, this should be only temporary, and is most commonly caused by your body adding muscle mass faster than it loses fat.

3. Plan to measure your progress:
NOTE: One measurement of progress in a weight loss program is quite simply "size". Two weeks into a weight loss program, you might actually have gained weight, for example, as I pointed out a few paragraphs ago.

4. Plan to stay motivated:
One of the most common obstacles that knock people off their weight loss program is loss of motivation. Including your reasons for losing weight, the emotional and perhaps physical triggers that got you started in the first place, as part of your written weight loss plan gives you a means of reinvigorating your desire to achieve your goals.

I came across The Venus factor while searching for weight loss program. Being a full-time college student while working, it's really tough being able devote enough time to exercise.

While the results were good as far as weight loss goes, it was really hard for me to work my busy schedule around the set times for classes 3x a week. A little details on the Venus Factor: It's a body transformation program designed specifically for woman only. Instead of being focused around calorie restrictive diets and shedding pounds like crazy with frequent intense workouts, the goal of The Venus Factor is to help shape your natural figure into a more fit, curvy, feminine version of yourself. By focusing on burning fat where you visually need it most, The Venus Factor makes every 5 pounds you lose look like 10. Perhaps my favorite part of this program is the dieting guide, and I use the term dieting loosely. The Venus Factor teaches you about special techniques to increase a woman's metabolism. I love carbs! The Venus Factor is only $47. I canceled my Zumba class and spent the money on The Venus Factor. I didn't have the time for a gym membership, and other workouts I looked into like Brazil Butt Lift and the Insanity Workout ran upwards of $100.
