Lipo Xpress Announces Most Advanced Body Shaping and Fat Loss Results

Proven from years of medical body contouring experience using the best non-surgical technologies COMBINED with physician-guided quick weight loss secrets allow you to painlessly drop 10 pounds of fat and several pants sizes in just weeks.

Plano, Texas, September 9, 2010 -- Choosing Lipo Xpress instead of cosmetic surgery for tummy tucks, ridding cellulite, and love handles is the best weight loss decision available today.

Fast, painless, and effective for removing stubborn fat that diets and exercise don't seem to affect, Lipo Xpress offers a treatment that works with the body's natural system to rid the unwanted fat from targeted areas. Rather than pulling or tearing tissue from the body as experienced in other treatments, Lipo Xpress gently liquefies the targeted fat within the cells and allows the body's lymphatic system to eliminate the fat naturally.

Popular in Europe and catching on with the U.S., the treatment is administered by appointment at Lipo Xpress in their comfortable, new Plano, Texas office by specially trained and certified technicians under the guidance of Dr. Janna Massar; Board Certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and a practicing doctor of Internal Medicine.  

Men and women over the age of 18 lose an average of 10 pounds of fat and typically drop two clothing sizes in just eight treatments. Each treatment has been compared to a relaxing warm stone massage, and is non-invasive, and non-surgical.  When treating the abdomen, for example, an average of 25 square inches was lost-- half of which was visceral fat (the unhealthy fat below the muscle layer that liposuction can't reach).

Patients are experiencing faster results than the other non-surgical treatments available, while eliminating the painful needle injections, inflammation, and recovery period associated with older techniques. There is no down time with Lipo Xpress.

Lipo Xpress is ideal for body shaping, cellulite reduction, love handles, and fat removal without surgery. Radio frequency assisted lipoplasty (RFAL) is a non-surgical, non-invasive, painless process that uses no anesthesia and produces similar results to liposuction, but with less cost and smoother results. Radio frequency ablation has been used for many years in the medical community and has been proven safe with no tissue destruction. 

Plus, for no added cost, Lipo Xpress gives customers Lightwave therapy for added lymphatic drainage and a boost to cellular metabolism.  The added nutrition, lifestyle, and exercise information helps customers maintain the healthy weight and appearance after they lose the pounds.

RFAL utilizes ionic friction to generate heat in fat cells causing them to release their contents to as deep as 5 inches. Usually only 8 to 10 treatments (that last 30 minutes to an hour each) are needed to achieve the desired results.

Referred to as the non-surgical facelift, wonderful results are reported for firming and tightening skin, reducing deep wrinkles, ridding under-eye fat pads (or bags), and reducing sagging chin (waddle), by combining Lipo-Ex (RAFL) and Lightwave (photo biostimulation) technologies, both used at Lipo Xpress.

Unemployment, Economic Hardship among Factors of Foreclosures in the U.S.

In December 2009, U.S. owners of 349,519 properties received a foreclosure notice

ForeclosureListings.com, confirmed that the national foreclosure rate in January was one foreclosure filing for every 466 U.S. households; the most severe problems continue in the west and in Florida. Unemployment, economic hardship, negative equity, and credit availability are driving the foreclosures.

Yet between the months of December 2009 and January 2010 a drop in the actual number of foreclosures was recorded. The latest data revealed:

The biggest drop in the state foreclosure market was in Arkansas at -24.75%. Oklahoma had the highest increase in state foreclosures at 37.28%. But Nevada had the highest monthly foreclosure rate in the country with one in every 94 households receiving a notice. Arizona ranked second with one in every 132 households receiving a foreclosure notice, followed by Florida (one in every 158 households), Idaho (one in every 159 households) and California (one in every 165 households).

Rumblings from mortgage professionals expose that many homeowners are on the brink of foreclosure as their property values have fallen amid the housing market collapse, exacerbating the effort to refinance loans for mortgages with negative equity. And as unemployment continues to plague the nation, the available buyers are also fewer, compounding the problem.

Some cities are expectedly more severely affected than others by the unemployment situation and the negative equity situation. Data shows the number of foreclosures and the percent change from December'09 to January to be:

Two cities of note are Riverside, CA, which recorded a decrease of over 27% with 224 homes in foreclosure; a substantial drop in foreclosures, and Phoenix, AZ, which recorded a decrease of over 22% with 1,222 homes in foreclosure; also a substantial decrease in foreclosures.

The data also showed the average foreclosure price for homes in each US state:

For those buyers ready to take advantage of the foreclosure market and reduced prices of homes, data shows the lowest average price and the highest average price of homes in foreclosure:

Although some people may mention that the market may have shown signs of stabilizing, industry experts are cautious about the figures after only one month. Many people believe that 2010 will still be a challenging market and that the worst may not be behind the housing market until late 2011.

Blake Shelton

With his roots firmly in Oklahoma, Blake Shelton continues to show his musical range, from powerful and progressive, to emotional and sentimental. Showing his sense of humor in some of his material and performances, his newest collection of songs shows his musical freedom and maturity that audiences can relate to and sing along with.

With songs that punctuate the heart of traditional country music and the reflections of life in America, Blake Shelton gives audiences songs that we can all relate to. Pure BS, Shelton's most recent CD, features guest vocals by George Jones and John Anderson, and shows the impressive songwriting skills of a major talent.

Songs Don't Make Me and The More I Drink from his latest CD were at #12 and #19 respectively on the country music charts, and in July of this year Shelton's rendition of pop-singer Michael Bublé's single hit Home, became a number one hit, the fourth of Shelton's career.

Randy Rogers Band

Rocketing out of Texas, The Randy Rogers band has been ranked as one of the top must-see artists of 2007 from Rolling Stone magazine! Their previous recordings debuted as the most-downloaded country album on iTunes, and their next self-titled CD releases September 23 on the Mercury Nashville label.

With gusto and that rowdy, party atmosphere of their live performances, the group has matured into a professional ensemble of dedicated songwriters and performers with mixtures of ranges that may be familiar to those who favor memorable hooks and a sound of life that comes from honest experiences we can all relate to.

Earning notice across the heart of the country with attendance records set in clubs and concert events, The Randy Rogers Band establishes itself with its second CD from the Mercury Nashville label that has been called, "traditional country music with a twist." Enjoy the lively, powerful energy when you can!

Miranda Lambert

Like a crack of lightening from a Texas night sky, Miranda Lambert has lit the country music scene with her powerfully passionate songs that reverberate the accolades of "authentic feel" and "honesty," that propelled her to the top, and earned her a Grammy nomination and critical praise from The New York Times, Rolling Stone, and many other magazines for her 2005 album KEROSENE.

A 2008 crowd igniter, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, from the same-titled CD, demonstrates a take-no-prisoners attitude, while other songs offer a wide range of material, from a vulnerable ballad and fragile, intimate flavors, to the roll-with-the-punches reality of a mature, young woman who puts life in perspective.

A solid addition to the country music world, Miranda Lambert blends the best of the best in her music.
