  • I love my Reebok realflex, they are light as air yet provide support and great cushioning. For my day to day wear I adore my Merrell Oceana slip on walking shoes. I went online to see where they can be found because I bought them a couple of years ago at nordstoms before going on a trip where we would be walking from dawn…

  • Those 'wings' are THE HARDEST to lose. I have been exercising and tricep dipping et al - taking my measurements everyother week and my upper arms and waist (which use to be teeny-tiny) are just stubborn to reduce! If anyone finds the key, share...please. In the meantime, Don't we loooooove those spanks!?! Are they coming…

  • Hi, Sue. Welcome. I am a little late to the discussion but want to add that we all need support. It is really slow going for some of us (me) and need the support to keep us going. There are a significant number of us and I know they have really helped me stay on the program even when deeply frustrated. I will try to friend…

  • I have struggled with this too, and found this to be a helpful, independant of MFP, link for knowledge and easy computations: http://www.fitnessfrog.com/calculators/bmi-calculator.html. Once you figure this out on your own, you will see that MFP has basically done the work for you....then, you have to decide what works for…

  • Thank you for your response. I had not thought about rowing....where does one find that machine and how much room do I need for it? As I think about it, I would think that would really work all sides of the upper arms. Very pricey? Actually, I do Zumba, and weights, and lots of arm and ab focused exercise DVDs....they just…

    in Choosing friends by pic or does that matter Comment by bnewperson April 2012
  • This has been very interesting reading. Thank you for sharing. I am certainly going to pay more attention to my water intake and logging it in to see if it helps my results. Looking at the pounds lost by the contributors certainly adds to the integrity of the information. Thank you.

  • I, too, am 62 and wish I had an insurance program like yours! Congrats on your success!,,,and it is YOUR success - you had to stick to it. Great job!

    in More wrinkles around our mouths.... Comment by bnewperson April 2012
  • Thank you - this is a great step-by-step instruction on how to build up strength and form. I have always felt like a whimp and embarassed by my lack of ability. This really gives me hope - push-ups are thought to be great for people of any age and I am really working on my arm strength. Thanks, again, for posting this.

  • Self Sabotage...my specialty! I have lost and gained weight with each of my 3 children, then quit smoking, gained and lost, and now am working at losing my menopause gain, so I consider myself a bit of an expert on this topic (modesty aside) and would like to share a couple of things I have learned: 1) This is a great time…
