Dr. Oz is a doctor of quackery. A shady sort of fellow :glasses:

Big Rotten Apple:explode:

Have you tried Arnica Montana--either the pellets sublingually or the salve? It's a homeopathic remedy that really helps me with muscle soreness.

Is it too late to join?

does Mah Jongg count?:huh:

I'm 60. Feel free to check out my profile and if you like what you read, add me! I would love to make friends with some smart and funny women over 50 who live in the NYC area.

fresh berries of any kind or dried cranberries--YUM

Thanks to all for the advice.:flowerforyou: I checked my food diary settings and it was not set to public. Now it is! I just completed a 30 minute Pilates workout. Mikki, you're right about not "quick adding" my foods. I typically do that when I've eaten out and can only guestimate the calories I've consumed but sometimes…

I only have two--one in each ear. Does that count?:blushing: I pierced my ears myself when I was 14, after my pediatrician refused to do it because he didn't want to "mutilate" me. Times do change!

Steffie, Your progress makes me so happy!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Welcome, Angel and Vicky! I'm glad that you joined. Although I'm a relative beginner myself, please let me know if there is any way that I can help you.:flowerforyou:

I once weighed my food and calculated the calories per gram. Someone in my family then decided to use my scale as a place to store my cookbooks. If you had a typical NYC galley kitchen, you would understand his action! Maybe I should go back to weighing things even though I'm no longer sure that the scale is as accurate as…

I've always been an expat risk but my husband doesn't share my passion for spending time in foreign countries. I would like to live in Italy or France.

Wedesday: 56 minutes Joel Harper's Fitness After 50

I'm 5'4" but I don't have an exact goal weight. Maybe 112 to 120?

This will be my first challenge and I'd like it to be a successful one and so I'm going to take it slow: 180 minutes/week. Week #1 Monday: My mom's birthday. I miss her terribly and spent most of my free time thinking about her. She would not like this one bit! 0 minutes. Tuesday: 60 minutes walking and climbing subway…

I found some tofu noodles that were nearly calorie-free at Whole Foods. i cannot remember what they were called but I do recall that they smelled and tasted evil:devil: . In my typical rush, I probably neglected to rinse them long enough, something HonkyTonks sagely points out as necessary.

You look great! Many congrats on your hard work and fabulous results!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Buying books for my Kindle that I already have in bound form.

Oh, X, I'm in exactly the same boat!:sad:

I am very pleased with my Polar FT1.

I feel very relaxed and happy. Sometimes my muscles feel a little tender, but in a good way.

Hmm. I took your advice and googled "cleaning." I was quite happy to learn that I had burned 170 calories!

Such inspiration here!

An exercise physiologist who recently tracked my metabolic rate told me to start eating breakfast to curb my night eating. She told me that I was eating so little during the day that it was expectable that I would be ravenous at night. I am rarely hungry in the morning. Maybe this has to do with the fact that I am a night…

sparkling mineral water. an entire case.

VERY impressive!!! You inspire me!

Going out and drinking a lot can be fun. Part of the reason you crave food is that because alcohol is quickly metabolized as a sugar, placing serious huge demands on your pancreas's capacity to deliver insulin. After a night of partying, your exhausted endocrine system needs help in the form of a quick sugar fix. And so it…
