No. It doesn't. I am surrounded by lots of extremely fit people despite my own fatness. And I have NEVER seen this phenomenon - where someone is fit (NOT too thin, like ALL models and most actors/actresses or on-air television news hosts are forced to be as a condition of employment, but a healthy weight) yet been shamed…

I'd love new friends - I'm new to MFP. I did a profile so you know you're not connecting with a stalker - just a geek ;)

I've never seen a cole slaw recipe that did not have something in it to sweeten it - usually sugar. However, I agree with everyone else: you need VERY little sugar to make coleslaw. A lot less than most recipes call for. I have a recipe in which I substitute 1tbsp honey for granulated sugar, and use only 1/4 cup mayonnaise…

Call me skeptical. The issue of passenger weight was never an issue - UNTIL airlines decided that packing passengers into a cabin like cattle was more profitable than having fewer, comfortable, seats. It is weight distribution which matters on an aircraft, unless you're talking about smaller aircraft. A 747 can leave the…

I have discovered (because I too love a good cocktail!) that Sparkling Ice flavored waters make incredibly good mixers! I've come up with calorie-lite (as much as a cocktail is going to be, anyhow, since a teaspoon of flavored simple syrups is something I enjoy) Moscow Mules, Dark and Stormy and Paloma recipes using those.…

I am determined that this time, I am going to follow my gut: it took me about 40 years to gain all this weight (I arrived at college in 1978 weighing 130 pounds), so if it takes me 2 years or even 3 to take it all off, that's OK. Not easy sometimes, but necessary for me. Because I desperately want this to be a permanent…

Losing 10% of my SW of 260.1. After just under 3 months, I'm at a CW of 241.8 with only 7.5 pounds to go!

I will be 60 in 3 months - is that close enough? ;) I have a long journey ahead of me weight and fitness wise so having a group of my age cohort to support each other will really help!

I am just 9.5 pounds away from having lost 10% of my starting body weight of 260. That is deeply meaningful to me, as it is the thing my MDs strongly pressured me to get bariatric surgery to do (I refused, after the meeting with the surgeon who made clear the serious downsides of the surgery that doctors *don't* tell you…
