Oh, how could I have forgotten the way sexy Diana Rigg as Mrs. Emma Peel! I think she's still sexy.

Sally Fields as Bridget and Paul Peterson from the Donna Reed Show (I"m really dating myself here!). Reaching way back, there was Gail Davis as Annie Oakley. Though I don't know if it was a crush so much as I wanted to BE her. I was really young when the show was running and I would go to sleep at night thinking about her,…

I'll send a friend add.

And for anyone keeping score, there are now six separate cert petitions (the formal request that SCOTUS take a case) on the issue of DOMA, Section 3 filed with the Court.

While it's generally true that courts rule as narrowly as possible, there's a strong likelihood that SCOTUS will address the level of scrutiny if it takes any of the DOMA cases. The Department of Justice is arguing that laws which discriminate on the basis of s.o. should be subjected to heightened scrutiny and that DOMA…

Me! I'm 61.

I'm not super close, but am in So Cal. I'm here for you. Thank you for the friend add!

I'm 61 and yes, it can be done! When I was younger, I could drop the few pounds I'd put on occasionally by just cutting out the potato chips and eating less ice cream. :) Now I have to eat really healthy and not waste any calories with low nutrient food. My situation is compounded by a chronic health condition that has my…

My weight was getting to the point that it was getting harder and harder to just get up and move around. I have a chronic health problem that contributed to the weight gain but was also being made worse with every extra pound I put on. Then, one day I did one of those online life expectancy calculators and it predicted…

Starting Weight 31 July: 178.8 5 Aug 12 Aug 19 Aug 26 Aug 31 Aug I lost 5 pounds last month; I'll be thrilled if I can do the same again.

1 July 183.8 (-0 lbs) 8 July 183.0 (-0.8 lbs) 15 July 182.2 (-0.8 lbs) = -1.6 lbs total 22 July 179.8 (-2.4 lbs) = - 4 lbs total 29 July 178.8 (-1.0 lb) = - 5 lbs total 31 July 178.8 Total loss for the month = 5 lbs. Congrats to everyone for the progress this month!

An interesting article looking at this question of level of scrutiny: http://jurist.org/forum/2012/07/julie-nice-minimalism-doma.php

Pretty much. Part of what makes this decision somewhat unique is the analysis regarding the standard of scrutiny for the equal protection claim -- the discussion of whether gays & lesbians should be considered a suspect class and thus make laws which discriminate based on sexual orientation particularly hard to justify. As…

"Shadows are falling and I'm running out of breath Keep me in your heart for awhile If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less Keep me in your heart for awhile When you get up in the morning and you see that crazy sun Keep me in your heart for awhile" ~ Warren Zevon (written when he knew he didn't have long to…

For bras, check here: www.wizardofbras.com/ It's the only place I buy bras and swimsuits. It's a local shop for me but I know they do mail order, too.

I'll be lucky if I do 1/2 that amount in a month, but would still like to check in each week if that's okay

As I said from the beginning, 7 lbs wasn't necessarily a realistic number for me, but it's been good to track my…

petelsandpaws, I'm so sorry. I can't find any other words.

Michele, we only have one cat these days. Weird, I know!! We've had as many as 5 in the past and I could easily wind up with more. I started using the 'owndbycatz' name on the web/ebay, etc., during the time we had four, including one who took daily heart medication (and had his own cat cardiologist) and another who was an…

The day got away from me and am just now sitting down to catch up with emails. How can I have so little time when I have no one to take care of but me and don't even work!?! Nothing much to share today - time to make another big salad; my last one is just about gone. Will say, this heat is getting the best of me. Have…

Hello everyone. Thrilled to find this thread. Though I spend a lot of time interacting with people much younger than I am and feel comfortable around people of all ages, when it comes to weight loss, the youngsters don't face quite the same issues as those of us who are older. It's good to find a group of women who…

I was surprised to learn how much calcium arugula has! Ever since that discovery, I always add it to my salads. http://www.ucsfhealth.org/education/calcium_content_of_selected_foods/index.html

In the a.m., after I pee and before breakfast. I'm a little obsessive with the scale; I admit it. But it's a good motivator for me and I'm not bothered by the fluctuations that go on over a few days. As long as I'm seeing an overall downward trend over time, i'm good.

You look fantastic and I'm guessing you feel great, too! I'm hoping to get my insurance to pay for a breast reduction, which will include a lift, once I'm at goal weight. I've desperately needed a reduction most of my life, but the pain and other problems my breasts are causing having gotten much worse as I've gotten…

Salads are a staple in my diet these days. They allow me to eat a lot of bulk, are nutrient rich, and low cal. I generally make up a huge portion (about 12-16 cups) of salad at a time, minus any "wet" items like tomatoes and store it in covered containers in the fridge. This lets me take out one serving at a time and add…

iPhone 4s here. It was a birthday gift from my son and it has revolutionized my life. One of my favorite apps is MFP and the ability to scan barcodes. I've always resisted keeping a food diary -- my life is complicated enough with keeping track of medications and such. My iPhone has made doing this so easy! I was willing…
