My husband bought e-bikes for both of us this year. We already had recumbent bikes. Keep in mind, I am 71 and he’s 69. He LOVES the e-bike and rides almost everyday. He averages about 5 miles per day. On the other hand, it hasn’t worked out for me. Keep in mind, it has been years since I rode a bike that required balance.…

I would like to see Vitamin D added to the vitamins that we are tracked in our food diaries.

I have two go-to breakfasts. Breakfast #1. 2 boiled Eggland’s Best eggs with 1 slice of toasted sprouted grain & legume bread and 1 pat of butter. (236 calories) Breakfast #2. 1 packet of Better Oats Cinnamon Roll instant oatmeal with 1 scoop collagen peptides and 1/4 cup Fairlife fat free milk and 1 slice toasted sprouted…

Thank you for your reply and the encouragement. My goal weight is somewhere between 110 lbs. and 115 lbs. I’m only 5ft. tall so that is within my weight range. As far as exercise, I want to add on more strength training. I don’t know why but I hate strength trading. I think I’ll start with resistance bands and add on with…

I usually buy peanut butter because it costs less. One concern I have about almonds, in general, is the negative impact of large scale almond farming. I am an amateur bee keeper. I recently learned that every year semi-truck loads of bees are shipped to California to pollinate the trees. A lot of the bees are killed due to…

For all of you gals reading this, just wait until menopause. The hair on your legs, armpits and other areas stops growing...unfortunately Mother Nature has a sick sense of humor because all of a sudden you start growing hair on your chin...this is a phenomenon I call migrating pubes. Just as a kicker, Mother Nature picks…

Have you ever thought about cosmetic surgery and/or dentistry? Have you ever thought about going on a diet?

How much money do you make and what’s your net worth?

My favorite evening snack is Constant Comment Chia tea, with one scoop of Root Vitality collagen peptide powder and 1/4 - 1/2 cup fat free Fairlife milk. Constant Comment has a decaf Chia tea if you are caffeine sensitive. I’m not, for some reason, caffeine relaxes me and I can go right to sleep right after drinking it. I…

Peanut butter, almond butter and nuts

I would like to track my vitamin D as well. I take a supplement but it would be helpful to track what I get from food.

Salmon patties, roasted cauliflower and oven roasted potatoes.

I try not to have cheat days and when I do, I usually don’t log them because I wouldn’t even know where to start. When I cheat, I don’t mess around. Sometimes, I just do something like logging 1 million calories just so I can remember how spectacular my cheat was...and the corresponding weight gain that usually follows.…

Ezekial bread. I’d like to try Dave’s Killer bread but it’s so expensive.

I am married to a man who can eat ANYTHING, he isn’t particularly active or muscular and he NEVER gains weight. I on the otherhand...well I wouldn’t be on this site if maintaining a healthy weight was easy for me. ANYHOW, several years ago, I worked for a large pharmaceutical company that was attempting to develop a drug…

Has anyone tried Aaptiv? Is it worth the $?

Interesting article. Since it takes anywhere from 15 to 20 years to bring a drug to market, we all better find other methods to break through a plateau. They didn’t even say if they’ve had a 1st human dose. If it’s still only being tested in animals, That means it might even be more than 20 years. I used to work in the…

Before or after a workout?

I’ll join in. I’ll be 66 on February 9th. I think I’m in decent shape for my age or any age for that matter. I did gain 10 pounds over the holiday because I love to bake cookies and sample the results. I’ve lost 5 of the 10 I gained but I really only got back on the healthy eating a exercise wagon last Monday. I’m short, 5…

I never thought about it but maybe it does. I had a bad chest cold a few weeks ago and was constantly coughing. My husband remarked that all the coughing was probably a good workout for my core...he’s usually not a “glass half full” kind of guy and I didn’t even know he knew what the term core meant. He must be reading…

Do they think you are too tall or too short? Do you think you are too tall or too short. If the gym has some sort of weird height restrictions, find another gym. Your friends are just being mean or they are stupid. Your height is just fine. Find friends who are nicer, smarter and more supportive.

Peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter. I know, I know they are healthy...but not when you eat the whole jar. I just have to keep it out of the house.

I’ll be 66 on February 9. I remember getting our first television set, a time when there were no computers, mobile phones, smart phones, or Internet. Life was simpler, better in some ways and worse in others. I’m thankful to be surrounded by children and grandchildren that I love....and that I can run farther and lift more…

My glasses. I lose them several times a day.

Nuts, peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter. I love them but found out the hard way, they are all "trigger foods" for me. Once I start eating them it's all over...I can't stop.

I like Fage brand plain, nonfat. I sweeten it with honey and mix in frozen blueberries or raspberries. A nice summer snack is a mixture of 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 1 cup frozen blueberries, 1/2 cup slivered almonds and 2 T. honey. Mix it all together and freeze in ice cube trays. Then I store it all in freezer bags. This is…

Olive oil, lemon juice and rosemary makes a nice marinade. Use equal parts olive oil and lemon juice.
