I have been skinny and hot when I was young and chubby and "not-so-hot" as I am now close to 60 and I can tell you that no matter what size, shape, or weight you are, there are going to be women who hate you because of something... anything.

They come in a variety of flavors, don't take up much space and can be eaten straight out of the pouch or with crackers. There is another brand that also comes with a spoon. Little baggies of roasted almond or other nuts provide…

She kept calling her treadmill "puppy".

I started with NROL for women a few years ago and when I burned out of that started on Thinner Leaner Stronger - Simple science of Building the Ultimate female body. (Michael Matthews). He advocates heavier weights less reps. Both are good. I think with any routine you get a bit bored after a while and some things just…

I think it is more than OK to be friendly at the gym... hellos, nods of acknowledgement that you are there, etc. I appreciate offers to spot me when I look a bit wobbly on a heavy set or a random compliment on form or strength every now and then... "Heyyyy Baby, you're not nearly as fat as the other old hags around here"…

I like to lift "heavy" but at 57 it is a matter of perspective. One person's idea of heavy - given medical conditions - is not the same as another. Here is a link to weight lifting standards that I often refer to when I am trying to see where I am in relation to someone else's idea of where I should be. Keep in mind that…

Pictures from mobile app only, at this time, from what I heard from Gabi... she has secret inside sources that say they are working on it.... but it just may be FAKE NEWS.

Nice shoes!!!! So far, per MFP, there is no option for adding pictures to the news feed via desktop. However, per Gabi, they said they were working on it. Pretty easy with the phone app.

Or you can just post on your status bar at any time. I did that after my first log, out of habit, and many CC's posted afterwards. But, I also posted a status this morning, just because I felt like and was testing it out, and that had CC's commenting also. No need to wait for an end-of-day box to post your daily feelings…

Dean, Trish set up a CC group. There are quite a few people there. Not sure how to link you to it right now as I am on the mobile app

Yes, I have started on Sparkpeople as well, just to see which is better. All in all, I am sure I could adapt to either.

Aughhhh, sometimes you just get comfortable in your old routines and way of doing things. I guess a shakeup is good to get things rebooted every now and then. Maybe we will all get recommitted to our healthy lifestyles once we need to write out our goals and objectives again.
