The video would not open. I don't drink milk, but I will occasionally cook with it, and I really like healthy forms of plain yogurt (I buy Stonyfield or goat whole milk yogurt, but not often), and I like cheese. I probably like good meltable cheese a little too much. If you are not lactose intolerant, or have other…

It was really weird. When I was working we had a company doctor who told me the first time he saw me, I should lose 30 pounds. I looked at him askance. Back then I was 6'1", and weighed 160. Ya want me to be 130 at that height??? The last time he saw me before he retired (I hope he was forcibly retired) I was still the…

I do have to laugh at the diet soda thing. I have one highly overweight friend (she has however made some progress in recent years, after the diabetes diagnosis) who got mad at me for refusing to drink her diet soda with her. (Instead I went to the tap and got water... she hates water by itself...) Nonetheless every time…

Breakfast. Leftover Vietnamese summer rolls I brought to yesterday's pot luck.

Okay, I don't have the time to read all these posts. But from what I know from people involved in the fat acceptance movement, a good percentage of them ARE worried about their health, but don't want to be "body shamed", especially since this hardly ever helps people. They don't want to focus on WEIGHT, but on improving…

Thanks. I will have to read the actual study rather than going by the title... Still, my essential point stands.

Of course, that's why they do it. If I have any option to drive, I will DRIVE rather than cram myself into a plane seat where my knees get tucked up under my chin. And more like than not, the bozo in front of my is going to recline his seat. I'm 6 foot 1, have 2 bad knees and one bad ankle, and those legs need some stretch…

I am of the opinion, based on my personal experience only, that a lowish-moderate carb diet works best (for me). As in providing (if you eat the right carbs) good levels of fiber, nutrition and so forth, as measured by blood parameters such as triglycerides and LDL/HDL levels. Both of which markedly improved when I went…

Back in the day when I swam at the Y, I could ultimately get into the ZONE and not think about anything at all. When I could use my treadmill for fast paced walking, I'd look at the old scenic calendar photos I'd posted in front of it, and envision myself hiking in those places... That was on the good days. On the bad days…

I appreciate the bike answers here. I am considering an upright hybrid bike, but I've had severe knee injuries. When doing physical therapy I enjoyed the exercise bike, but I know at home I am not apt to enjoy biking when I'm not moving anywhere and seeing scenery (I feel the same way about my treadmill, which I am…

Size 10.5. Men's. Running shoes only. I also have a big toe that sticks out which means narrow shoes are forever right out. I'm a 6'1" woman. I am sort of the anti-Imelda Marcos...

Hmm. Since that is all I thought they were, I have no problems with them going only on-line. Although if I'd know they'd have a store somewhere near me I'd love to try clothing on!

Just joined this site yesterday, and this group today. At home I am probably about 85 - 90% Paleo/Primal, low carb. Trying to cut down on cheese. I can't eat most tree nuts. I'll go send you a friendship request. Good to "meet"! If others want to befriend me, please do so, thanks.

Possibly true. It just tastes horrific to me, so I will leave it out of any food plan I will ever consider following.

I cooked breakfast. Two soft boiled eggs with 9 stalks of boiled asparagus (done along with the eggs). The eggs got a minor sprinkling of sea salt, and the asparagus got a bit of butter and oregano. I didn't cook lunch, because I went to a country fair with their horrid food choices, and I had a planned eat of some of…

I'm going to keep the Samsung Gear Iconx in mind, since I own an Android phone. Just picked between two gyms of similar pricing based on the fact that the one I rejected plays what I call Late Nineties Baaad Bar Music at decibel levels that would mean I would keep finding reasons not to attend. These gyms are already 35…

I'm 64, and just joined today. I am working on getting better healthfulness back, physical and so forth. Willing to go for mutual support!
