How did I gain 2 pounds yesterday??
I woke up today and for the first time the scale said I gained weight. I have not exceeded more than 1300-1400 calories in over a month and I know in order to gain two pounds I would have to eat 7000 calories more than what I burn. What could cause this? Water retention? The only other thing I could think of is I have had…

OT: WELL SAID BY GEORGE CARLIN
A Message by George Carlin: The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less…

Suggestions
Hello All....just wanted to ask what kind of diet people find the most effective ? At the moment I am convinced that I should keep it simple - calorie counting - 1200 cals - and as I have a active puppy - take the puppy out for a 30 min walk early morning and then late evening... Any suggestions welcomed!

New Pictures!
Hi everyone! I've been feeling pretty down on myself lately. Eating nearly 1700 calories every day (which is not going over, but still feels like too much) and just feeling huge. So I posted some pictures from last weekend to fish for some compliments. Thanks in advance. :smile:

Premenopause? Word to me--womens talk!
Ok, my fellow older women! I'm 45 and think I'm premenopausal. For the last several months, my TOMs have been slightly erratic and unusually short--3-4 days whereas they used to be 5-7. Now this month, I'm a day late. Now, I know a day late isn't that "big" a deal but I'm NEVER late. I'm almost always a couple days earlier…
