  • I turned 50 too -- 11 years ago :) I am not thrilled with getting older, but it sure beats the alternative. As to downsizing: I have now worked off almost 45 pounds since February 13 this year. I certainly never THOUGHT I could do it, but deciding to give it the old college try was the first move in the right direction. I…

  • When I first started eliminating my unwanted excess weight in February (I started out at 222.5 and am down to 175.5), I lost 3.8 pounds the first week and 4.4 pounds the second. By the end of March I had settled into a routine of losing just under 2 pounds a week. The first weight loss was definitely water -- because I cut…

  • My reaction is that is more than a bit unnatural/creepy.

  • I've been a member of Curves for two months now and I have to say that I really enjoy it. The reasons are: 1) There is always a trainer watching as people work out and prepared to offer tips without charging an extra cent. For us seniors (I'm 61 years old) it's reassuring to know that someone is actually paying attention…

  • I love it with fresh berries and I often add half a cup of pure bran to it as well and have it for breakfast. But for a savoury version, I will add roasted garlic to it - makes a great veggie dip that way :)

  • I've had several pedometers. I've worn all of them on the treadmill and compared the readings. I've returned all the ones that didn't compare well. the best one for accuracy so far is the Curves pedometer sold by Avon -- that was a HUGE surprise
