P.S. I just turned 70.

Wow. Just wow. It was just a suggestion that people might not have considered. Not an attack on you. Anything you say on a message board can offend anybody. Just a simple thought. Wow. This'll be my last post.

I don't think MFP is trying to exclude anyone based on age. I think age 18 to 45 is the age demographic they are trying to hit for advertisers. Older people don't spend as much. This is a free site, after all.

Yay!!!! Thank you, Kristen.

I have OA in one knee. I walked and lost 30 pounds between June 2015 and June 2016. Then I signed up at a gym and had a couple sessions with a personal trainer. That was June 2016. The exercises she gave me made more of a difference in six weeks than the entire previous year of walking and weight loss. I'm sure the weight…

This is awesome. Intuitively, all women know this stuff. It's fascinating that he's studied it. Thank you. kshama. ETA: He even mentions that athletic training absolutely tanks the week before your period. This is what the Chinese swimmer said in her interview at the Olympics. She started her period the night before her…

This. When people say it's easy I want to just shoot right back........"well if it's so easy, how did you get so fat in the first place? It's not rocket science. Just why are you here on MFP anyway?" But I don't because I know they don't mean it that way. They're just celebrating their own success.

Yes, yes. Thank you Kristen. So appreciate what you do.

I just discovered audible.com. Try listening and reading at the same time. It's slower, but you can take breaks, go to the bathroom, emty the dishwasher, fold laundry. It's not as hard to focus as when I first started. Audible.com has everything too. Great selection. I haven't tried it outdoors because I'm with you on…

Please add me. Thanks for the invite. You're the best! I went to the "reach-for-the-beach" site above and I think I accepted there. Thanks.

jan115, I sent you a message. I need knee replacement surgery.

Yay! That's my evening treat!!! I have between 6 and 8 ak mak crackers which are 22 calories apiece. I usually weigh out 32 grams or less of Jif smooth peanut butter. I can spread it pretty thin. It's crunchy, salty, sweet at the same time. Granted, it's a few calories. But it's such a treat and I look forward to it every…

I like Snapware. America's Test Kitchen recommends them. They are leak proof. I wash them by hand but they say they're dishwasher safe. Microwaveable obviously. Good to know on the Anchorware lids. I just found that they come with lids and put a set of small ones on my list.

I finally went to the doctor (orthopedic ) and he told me I need a knee replacement. No amount of physical therapy or weight loss will help it. It doesn't change my discomfort but it is definitely a comfort knowing what the problem is. Get an XRay

Well, y'all chased him (or her) out of here quick enough. Well done,

How does losing weight on a "straight diet" take less patience than losing weight otherwise? Come on. Diet and exercise are both important. And it all take patience. How can you read anything more into that original post? It's not an argument about whose way is better.

A straight diet is just a reduced calorie diet without exercise. It's a great post. One week makes a difference. That's all. One week of exercising make a difference and so does one week of dieting. The point is, it all takes patience. You want to disagree with that too?

Thank God. But it's a little late. I couldn't believe the number of offensive posts.

Please include me.

Good rant.

No, Wolfman did not say my friends were ignorant. And, no I did not contradict him by saying they weren't.

No one told me my friends were ignorant. And I didn't tell anyone else his friends were ignorant. You asked what exactly do I think ignorance is. And Wolfman called me a piece of work.

I know what ignorance is. I didn't call anyone ignorant. What's your point?
