Thinking of getting back into the dating scene again since my husband died a year ago. Thanks for all the lame but funny lines I need to watch out for.

I had lap-band surgery and did my homework. A lot of people have that problem. I had a BMI of over 53 when I had my surgery. They put me on a liquid diet to shrink my fatty liver for 6 weeks prior to surgery. Believe me I lost! 50 pounds before surgery. I then discovered that the lap-band and other surgeries like that…

With 40 plus years of yoyo "dieting" experience I know personally there is a point where you can ruin your metabolism. Starvation diets cause them. My idea of a starvation diet that ruined my health was done in the 1970's. It consisted of coffee, cream a sugar often during the day with a cigarette, a small supper meal of…

One very easy recipe I tried recently: Fat-Free Pineapple Angel Food Cake Angel food cake mix( around 1 pound/ 16 ounces) 1 can 20z of crushed or chunk pineapple (DO NOT DRAIN) (I prefer the crushed) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9 x 13 inch pan. Dust lightly with oil and flour. Mix the dry egg pouch with the…

Why is it that the medium size to thinner people love those type of shows about fat loss and weight? My thin BF loves them but all I see are heavy people being too dumb to realize they are being humiliated and used. Those weigh in outfits are horribly embarrassing for me to even watch. Reality shows to me should be banned.

Congratulations! You should be very proud of yourself.

Okay, I'm posting cause I'm curious about the dating scene and a widow for a year now.

You can add me to the single and widowed list. Retired so far. Not looking for someone wanting the skinny ninny. My husband died a year ago. Not really looking for a husband just yet but a date would be nice with someone from the 58-65 yrs. bracket. Needs to have high moral values and love my two dogs. Believe strongly in…

Have a similar recipe. Just use a full can of pineapple and do not drain off the liquid. Just add the pineapple to the angel food cake mix and mix well. Pour into a 9 x 13 pan. Cut into bars and figure out the calories by the size of the bars you use and the fraction of the cake mix and pineapple.

You are not out of place. I just joined and have been contacted by quite a few helpful people who want to loose that much. According to my goals I have another 150+ to loose. Two years ago I was down 120 pounds. Since this past fall I have gained 20 of it back. My son's wedding is coming up in May and I know I waited too…

I hope and pray that all goes well for your Father and your family.

Wow that's really great! 60 pounds! You're an inspiration.

Grieving and the depression that stems from it seems to subside at times and then something comes up that reminds me all over again. You are right it's not for whimps. Neither is learning how to take care of everything by myself at my age. My husband used to take care of me and my 3 adult kids refuse to help much. Their…

I have gone to grief classes which has helped a little but I am still in what they call the anger stage. I eat when I am angry-want high cal crunchies. Have to break a lot of bad habits but I am sure this site will help me do that. Thanks for the well wishes.

thank you for the encouragement
