I always wondered why restaurant dressing was soooooooo much better than the store bought bottled. Then I made my own, and figured it out. The restaurants (at least the better ones) are making their own dressings! YUM. So much better. Haven't bought a bottle since.

My dad was 5'8" most of his adult life UNTIL I hit 5'9". That's when he became 5'9" too :wink: . . . or so he claimed.

I started eating oatmeal and my cholesterol dropped 50 points.

Years ago, I had a friend that lost about 80 lbs, and she was really short. She looked great, but I did notice some loose skin.

You can have your doctor give you a hormone test to get an idea if you're in peri-menopause. Since your hormones fluctuate a lot from month-to-month during the peri years, the results vary. But it might give you an idea. My doctor checked me while I waited.

Whole Foods 365 Early Bird Organic Multi-Seed bread. It's the best bread ever. Other than that, I make our bread.

I've had cycles like that. Just had my appointment for the year and everything was ok. I'm 52, and each cycle I have, I wonder if (read: hope) it's my last.

It's amazing how different people look from losing weight. You look like a different person. Gorgeous.

I got mine 7 ago, back when I was relatively thin. I lied by 20 lbs. I remember thinking, the DMV guy would look at me and think, "yeah, right." KUDOs to you for the kahunas to lie by 75 lbs.

If anyone's looking for a great magazine for women, I just found a great one. It's called STRONG.
