Hi, I took the drug called Fen-phen about 10 years ago. I took the drug for 6 mo. under the care of my doctor who said he would give it to me for only that time frame. Yes I lost about 20-30 lbs in 6 months. I also got a damaged heart valve. Some people who took it lost their lives. I was in the class action lawsuit…

Hi, I'm Renee and I am 63. Lost weight using this program but I have strayed. I have had some physical issues this fall which have been healing, so I will start back today. I live in Kentucky with my husband (who is thin), 2 horses and 1 dog. We trail ride alot when the weather is good. Hope you are successful in your…

I just discovered a new temptation, Vinegar and Salt potato chips. Has that tang that really floats my boat. Speaking of donuts, there's a great place in our hometown that sells great apple fritters. To die for. Also, my biggest comfort food is butter bread with sugar on it. Thanks Grandma, as that's what she would give me…

Wow, I love milk, cheese etc. But if you keep them tracked and stay within your daily calories, shouldn't you be able to have them? Maybe you were lactose intolerant and didn't know it.

Hope you're doing well and that this holiday weekend won't derail you! I have no special plans but will continue to keep moving. Have a great Memorial Day!

Looks like you're in good company. Paula Dean recently found out she had Type 2 diabetes. Bet her diet has really changed!

Go! I was a little leary at my 40th reunion but the connections I made were great. I picked up with old friends like it was yesterday. I would have missed a wonderful time and 5 whole years if I hadn't gone. Believe me you will look better than half the people there and you will look worse than half the people there. It's…

I love Chicago! Been there many times. Hope our group continues to grow. I think we can all learn from each other. Should be in the high 70's today in the Bluegrass area. So I will be outside with my plants, dogs, horses, etc.

Wow, I know how hard it is to lose weight and I've heard a lot of people who are desparate, try this procedure. Wish you the best in your weight loss journey.

Happy double birthday. Enjoy the birthday cake but get back on your weight loss program tomorrow. Birthdays we must celebrate. Sounds like you have great goals. Can you get your sister on board, too? I'm enjoying meeting people in this over 60 club.

Happy early birthday! 62 isn't so bad and 63 isn't bad either. I completed 3 of my bucket list items last year. Went to Punta Cana (Dominican Republic) and ziplined, parasailed and scuba dived. Most of my bucket list is traveling experiences. Glad you were so successful with WW. I have tried it off and on for 30 years but…

Good for you! Keep up the good work and try to get in as much exercise as possible. It really helps. Enlist a friend to go with you. Its more fun!

Hope you have luck finding a riding partner. Its much safer to ride with someone. It's also nice to cheer each other on. I am "old school" and don't use the riding helmet, but all my grandchildren do. Hope you have success on your weight loss.

Lexington is a great place. I actually live in a small town north of Lexington, Stamping Ground. Yes, I know its a wierd name. Its for the hundreds of thousand of buffalo that visited our salt lick. "stamping ground" refers to the sound made by the buffalo as they migrated by. Since the Bluegrass is the heart of horse…
