I'm 49 and I've always been slightly underweight. Last year I gained an extra 10 pounds. I didn't think much of it, because if I ever noticed myself gaining a bit, it was super easy to take back off. Not this time! I'm about to my goal weight now, but I'm shocked at how hard it was. I used to eat entire bags of candy in…

I have to disagree with this. BOYS are a dime a dozen. A good man is rare and in high demand. They are well worth the time and effort. After all, he's also put in the time and effort to be a cut above the rest. If you want the best, then you have to be the best too. Some women are happy with the boys. Not me.

I see no reason why I can't just photosynthesize. If a plant can do it, it can't be all that hard. And green hair would be cool. PLUS I get my vitamin D and don't have to cook. It's a no brainer.

5"5" Age: 49 SW: 122 CW: 115 I'm happy with this weight but I need to convert some belly flubber into muscle. So now that I got the weight down, I'm concentrating on exercising and getting in shape. If muscle adds more weight, then I'll be happy with that. I want to look good in the mirror, so I don't worry overmuch about…

Not only do I believe in true love, I also believe in true love at first sight.

Abs. No question.

Totally agree. Blue is too expensive for me but it's a great dog food. I feed my dogs Diamond Naturals. It's a good quality food and one that I can afford. Blue Wilderness is given 5 stars and Diamond Natuals is rated 4 stars on this site: http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-food-reviews/dry/ Beneful is given 1 star.

I tend to not wear makeup at all. When I do, its very minimal - mascara and blush. Rarely some sheer lip goss. I never wear base, I hate the way it feels and looks on my skin.

Yeah, I was serious. Thanks for the reply.

Both women in the pics lift weights. Vastly different outcomes. Why?

Well said. ITA.

I don't think she's conceited. I think she's just stating fact. You don't have to have model looks to be considered beautiful by the everday people around you. And you ARE treated differently based on your looks. Women tend to treat you like dirt and men tend to treat you better. Just the facts of life.

I'm 5'5". The DVD focuses on abs with cardio in between sets. I'm close to being happy with my weight, but I'm pathetically weak. I'm really intrigued about what I'm hearing. I think lifting might be something I want to try in the near future. Thanks.

I weighed 112 when I graduated and stayed pretty much the same most of my life. I gained a few last year but I'm getting pretty darn close to being back where I started. Now if only I could be in the same physical condition I was back then!

I'm 49, about 116 pounds and I've never done any formal exercising in my life. To say that I'm out of shape is a major understatemtent. I've been doing Jillian Michaels 6 Week 6 Pack for 3 weeks now. Three weeks! And I STILL can only do 20 minutes of the beginner session. It's pathetic. My muscles literally lock up and I…

OK, that guy gets points for originality and humor. Online dating is very different for guys. There is a ton of competition and they generally have to do the chasing. It's hard for them to stand out in the crowd. This guy was funny and I'd answer. If nothing else, just to see what he comes up with next.

Add another one. I love HP.

I met my current SO on Match.com. I signed up for the 3 month plan. The first month I talked to several interesting guys but they didn't seem quite right for me so I never met up with them. I found my SO during the second month, and he was the first and only person I ever dated. We hit it off perfectly and have been…

LOL!

OMG, this was a JOKE! Lighten up already. Maybe you need to take a pill. ;) (uh...that was another joke) But seriously, smile a little. It's good for you. :)

No, I never do. I drink water all day long so I don't see much point.

Ooooh! Conspiracy theories. Gotta love it. Only you have it bass ackwards. ;) See, Big Pharma wants to have all supplements classed as drugs. It will put the mom & pop suppliers out of business and Big Pharma can charge more. Not to mention having to go through FDA approval which would mean taking many supplements off the…

I log it all. It doesn't bother me too much if I go into the red. I tend to be under on other days, so as long as my week works out I don't stress individual days. If it bothers me that much, then I make myself exercise until I burn it off and am back in the green. Thinking about those exercises tends to really curb my…

You can find a study that will support just about any point of view you want to take. I can quote numerous studies that show that supplements protect against cancer. And some of those studies that show increased cancer risk are flawed or spun to make them seem more dramatic. Taking vitamin E is supposed to increase your…

Thanks for the info. I use NOW for Vitamin D and I know its a good brand. I'll take a look at Eve and also Source Naturals.

This "silly" discussion has gone on long enough. Back to discussing supplements....

And you can recommend a $6 drug store brand that passes your test? Please share the info.

Posting your opinion is fine. But calling other people silly, assuming the haven't done their research or weren't tested is arrogant and judgemental. Share your thoughts, your beliefs your research. Don't tell people what to do and imply they are stupid if they don't do things your way.
