My twins turned 26 on Sunday! Enjoy them while they're small, the time goes SO fast!

I haven't been here for two weeks - first my favorite cousin died, and I spent a week traveling to and from the funeral, then, when I got off the plane, I had to go right to the hospital with an abscessed jaw - if you think a regular diet is hard, try living on liquids for two weeks. Well, things are looking up and i GO…

What about cauliflower?

Yes, I was "gone" for three weeks due to travel, illness and tons of summer visitors. . .It e-mailed me and I'm back and the good news is I didn't gain while away - didn't lose either.

I'm bumping this so I can find it again! Thanks

I'm thru the menopause now, but yes, PMS did seem to get worse as I got older. My husband has an awful joke: what's the difference between a woman with PMS and a terrorist? Answer: You can negotiate with a terrorist. I know this isn't helpful, but at least you know you're not alone.

I'll pray for you too! I recommend a Pilates ball. I'm 58 and also have a bad back, it really helps your back, and you can just avoid any exercises that bother your knees. Mine came with an instruction DVD, I don't know how they sell them in the States, but an instruction dvd should be available somewhere. Also, swimming…

Yes, definitely the same day. I have tried it the other way and you get up in the morning with a deficit which is hard to deal with the rest of the day.

Can I ask a dumb question? How do women wear them? My husband has one and it looks horribly uncomfortable. Does it come in a sports bra or something?

What she said! Give in to your craving, but just a little, and log it before you eat it. 10 potato chips are 100 calories, a whole bag is zillions.

So true! And since i've been exercising a lot I find that I can sleep up to 9 hours if I don't have to get up! My husband has been biking hard for two years and he has gone from 5 or 6 hrs a night to 7 or eight (but he still snores!)

I thought beer had vitamin B:laugh: ! My contribution: doughnuts and creampuffs!

Ditto Sparklene!:laugh:

I think sizing is very individual according to the manufacturer. I have a pair of jeans just like your trousers. I can pull them up over my bottom (couldn't before) but can't get them zipped up. maybe towards the end of the summer? It reminds me of an American lady who went to Weight Watchers for a while and reported:…

I'm no expert but I think you can. You need at least 20 minutes for cardiovascular fitness, but an hou:happy: :happy: r for weight loss. An alternative would be to gradually increase to an hour in 5 minute increments over time. That's what I did.

BUMP!

Thanks a lot. mainly replying in order to "bookmark" this.

I like to bike, but not a junkie. However, I'm married to one. Did you know you can get snow tires for bikes so you can keep on all winter long. My husband does. Whether he's sane or not is another question. :laugh:

Slices of raw kohlrabi do the trick for me.

I'm so-o-o-o-o happy for you! You are an inspiration!:happy:

I'm from California, but I live in Norway now :smile:

No, one overindulgence is not going to wreck your diet. We had the first bbq of the season yesterday, and the one meal was more than the calorie allowance for the whole day! Do I feel bad? No, because today it's back to the straight and narrow. it's important to enjoy yourself with friends.

Ditto!

Why do women gain weight after they get married? Answer: A single woman comes home, looks in the fridge, shrugs, and goes to bed. A married woman comes home, looks in the bed, and goes to the fridge.

Ditto jhcrh3!

Don't give up! Don't give up! I went two weeks without losing anything(actually the scale went up a bit some days), but then I started losing again. It seems like ages while it's happening. You might be retaining water which would account for the apparent gain. Hang in there.You will lose wt.
