If it was your doctor telling you that, it's worth discussing with him/her. If it was anyone else, it's only their opinion and can be safely ignored.

<deleted> It's not nagging - it's one disagreement over an subject that is important to her and therefore should also be important to him as well. "Nagging" is repeated many times over a very long time, and acts like a grindstone on a knife - it wears away. It is not a "victory" either. A marriage is supposed to be a…

No, you are NOT being unreasonable. Hubby is acting as if he is an inconsiderate and unsupportive jerk, though. Presumably he knew when your father & stepmother were coming (he does share in planning such things, right?) and how important it is - and should have made the deadline clear to his friend. Arbitrarily deciding…

No tattoos yet. I have thought about it many times -- USMC on one arm, & my wife's name in a heart on the other. But she's been vetoing it for the last 43 years, so I'll have to wait a little longer ... No body piercings either! (Wounds don't count.)

Daily, in the morning, after using the toilet and then showering, and before dressing. A consistent routine will give the best results. Weighing more than once a day can be counterproductive due to the weight of what you eat/drink, and the inherent measurement uncertainty of the scale.

... and it takes TIME - on the order of years. It took me over 40 years to get UP to my present weight, so I know it is going to take at least a couple of years and a lot of hard work to get back down to my target weight.

If this is day to day variation - weighing once per day at the same time & under the same conditions - this amount of variation is not unexpected. That is why you should always look at the long term trends instead of the individual values. Look at your change over a week or a month. All measurements have some variation -…

My wife took me out to dinner last night (my birthday). The only "good" part of the meal was steamed vegetables. The rest was steak (wonderful) and a loaded baked potato with lobster chunks. Ate the veggies & steak; nibbled at the potato, and felt stuffed and guilty. She wanted to stop by Dairy Queen in the way home but I…

If you bought the HRM used, it is quite likely that the sensor strap needs to be replaced. You will get erratic or incorrect readings when the battery is near the end of its life. Unfortunately it is a sealed unit, so you have to replace the whole strap. I have bought a couple from Amazon with good results. Also, some…

I have been married to my first wife for more than 41 years. :love: We knew each other in high school but did not start dating until two years later, the summer of 1969. We got formally engaged in 1970 after I came back from Vietnam (USMC), and married early in 1971.

1. Make coleslaw! 2. Make sauerkraut or kimchi 3. My favorite - chop it coarsely, and make it onto a casserole with sweet Italian sausage and cream of mushroom soup. 4. Steam it with some Mrs. Dash for seasoning, and serve with your favorite butter-like product.

Why not? it's cool (temperature-wise) and practical. I have a few family members who wear them. Not only the Scots and Irish wore them. It's what the well-dressed Legionnaire of the Roman Empire wore.

REDSKINS -- and whoever is playing against the Cowboys!

Look at the banana - 24 grams of carbohydrates per 100 grams.

I have served in the Marine Corps, AND the Air Force, AND worked for the Navy (civil service). Now I just have to work the Army and Coast Guard into the remainder of my career!
