I think the entire article is ridiculous. She bases her opinion in part on a study that used postmenopausal women?! And she thinks the same science would apply to a 20-something college student? Her logic is not only flawed, it's non-existent. Balance is the way to go, no doubt about it, but I would never take seriously a…

I think it's a good idea to have her checked out by the pediatrician and find out if there are medical concerns because of her weight. However, my son was always at the 95th percentile for both weight and height, and the doctor was never concerned ... he is now a very healthy 18 year old who is 6'5"+ and weighs 210 ... and…

EQ2 and SWTOR ... lately more SWTOR than EQ2. I can't do first person stuff on the Xbox - it makes me feel sick. :-\

Laugh. Don't forget your sense of humor, and don't forget to have fun. Laugh, as much as possible, laugh. Don't forget to talk to each other about something other than work, money and kids (once you have them, if you don't already). Eek out a little time every day to spend together, even if it's just 10 minutes before bed.…

Three years next month. I love him a little more every day. Was previously married for eight years, and it was just the opposite. I am very thankful that my current husband is nothing like the first one. If he was, I'd divorce him and swear off marriage forever!

Commercial Manager for a major Oil & Gas Company. I manage a $200M budget. My favorite phrase is, "No, you can't have money for that." It works equally well at home and at work. :-D

I've tried WW several times, but I am always hungry after a week or two. I start out fine, but after my points drop once or twice, I am starving. I may lose weight, at least until I completely lose it and eat everything in the kitchen, but eventually I stall out. And forget exercise ... Exercising on WW is a joke for me…

Gender: Female Age: 43 Height: 5'8" SW: 270 CW: 270 GW: 160 NSV goals: Wear heels again, not get worn out when out shooting pictures, buy clothes in a "normal" store. I would like to NOT be told at every turn that if I don't lose weight, I'm going to die young, or have diabetes, or heart problems. And REALLY tired of…

What a difference going to the gym makes. I knew that I would see results if I started working out again, but I didn't expect them to be quite this good - down 3.4 lbs this week! Week 1 - 270 (Aug 22) (my actual starting weight was 271, but ... oh well) Week 2 - 269.8 (Aug 29) Week 3 - 266.4 (Sep 5) Week 4 - xxx (Sep 12)…

OK, last week wasn't stellar (I blogged about it this morning), but I'm back on track. Even better, I still have a bit of a loss to report ...

If it's not too late, I'd like to join. I'm new to MFP (just started yesterday) and I think a challenge is a fantastic idea. My name is Jill, I'm turning 43 on Friday, and I'm married with two children. My son just started his junior year of HS, and my daughter is starting her freshman year of college. My starting weight…

We can do it together!

Thank you all for your very kind welcome, and words of encouragement. It took me a long time to decide to write my original post, mostly because ... well, I just don't currently have it in me to be all upbeat and excited. LOL Isn't that terrible? I SHOULD be upbeat and excited, but instead I'm filled with trepidation and a…
