- I posted once or twice about the worst relationship I ever had. Met the guy 35 years ago and he STILL turns up occasionally like a bad penny. Made the mistake of agreeing to a personal meeting in June. He was very convincing that he'd changed. ...
- If you're a senior still interested in romance and sexuality, you must see the movie BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL FOR THE ELDERLY AND BEAUTIFUL. It doesn't sugar-coat the pain and loneliness of growing old, but overall it's an optimistic and vibrant...
- Most of us are familiar with the Japanese Sumo wrestlers who weigh a TON, but recently I read how they become grossly obese and thought I'd pass it on.They fast during the day, then gorge themselves at night and go to sleep!So take note--it's really...
- Finally broke down and joined the Food Addiction Support Group. Didn't want to think of myself that way. I have successfully kept off 100 lbs. that I lost, BUT I need to lose a lot more. I'm not making much progress because it seems I sabotage...
- Fuco WHO?Received some advertising junk mail telling me I would lose 2 lbs. a day eating all I want, if I only ingested Fucoxanthin, a brown seaweed from Asia.Anyone who believes that any diet pill or supplement will reduce by TWO LBS. A DAY, eating...
- I feel fear when dieting, for two reasons. First, I fear that my desire for food is stronger than my willpower. I am holding myself back from eating, but fear my control will not be strong enough and I will fail. The second fear I feel when dieting...
- Here is a cute little method of evaluating whether or not you need to be eating. First HALT (STOP) and ask yourself, am I "H"ungry? "A"ngry? "L"onely? or "T"ired? If you know you are truly hungry, eat something healthy. But if you're one of those...
- The most common complaint on these boards is "I'm doing everything right, but the scale doesn't move". I have a foolproof way of knowing if I'm losing weight from the lower half of my body. It's a jacket I wear when we go food shopping. Has four...
- I'm about 60 percent to my goal, 40 percent to go. To be exact, I've lost over 100 lbs. but still have 80 to go. It seems overwhelming. After losing so much already, I just wish I could quit! But I recognize that weight issues are a lifetime...

- The song said "Short people ain't got no reason to live." Well it seems we don't have no reason to EAT either! It's been determined that a woman 5'4" or under requires far fewer calories than a tall woman!A new diet craze for short women, called the...
- There has been much discussion on these boards about using the pregnancy hormone hcg for weight loss, either the shots or the drops. Recently heard that the Food and Drug Administration is seeking to BAN the use of the hormone for weight loss...
- Yesterday I returned to counting Weight Watcher POINTS. I'm doing it at home, not being able to afford meeting cost plus cost of transportation to meetings. Also, I'm using the old, original POINTS system. I still have the sliderule calculator and...
- Looking back over the last few years, I've learned what worked best for me, and what didn't work at all!In 2008 I was "morbidly obese" at 260 (morbid obesity being defined as 100 or more lbs. over ideal weight). I felt a bit desperate, as you can...
- Although my doctor insists my current level of thyroid meds is correct (112 mcg. Synthroid), I still have symptoms, which include weight struggles, eyebrow thinning, head hair falling out, and worst of all SEVERE PAIN in arms and shoulders. Can...
