She looks sick with that tongue hanging out. Disgusting. Shame is, she really is a beautiful girl but didn't look it last night.

I don't think it is only the males. And, in all honesty, had I not sprained a rib muscle and gone to the ER, I never would have known my BP was so high and would probably be still eating the way I used to. That was a wake up call. Believe it or not, a typical day for me would begin with egg, bacon, and cheese on a roll,…

I just keep plugging away. Have no choice. My back, hips, and knees never stop hurting. Motrin was helping some but now I learn that it raises blood pressure and mine is already high. It's hard and so often I wish I could retire, but having to work forces me out there to walk.

I was diagnosed with high blood pressure several months ago. Never even knew there was a problem until a muscle sprain brought me to the emergency room. Now I try to watch my sodium intake. Been actually able to keep it around 700 mg or under a day. No small miracle. But, now that fall and winter are here I love soups and…

After I was diagnosed with high blood pressure, I went into shock when I saw sodium levels. Never much thought about what I was eating. I loved pizza and thought nothing of eating two slices and hot sausage? I could eat three. 920 mg sodium each. Who knew? And the chicken parm and baked ziti I had at least once a week at…

I turned 65 this year. Love meeting new friends.

I'm 65. Thought I could go about living my life as I always did, and that means eating, but it all caught up with me. I'm here because I want to live.

I'll be your friend.

I told myself that I was getting old so it didn't matter. Little did I realize that I was also destroying my health.

I did it cold turkey. One day I started to work and couldn't catch my breath to climb the subway stairs. That was it for me.

I am 65.

Housework is actual physical labor. One burns many calories sweeping, mopping, etc. I totally agree that it is right to have it counted. This is a cooking weekend for me which means I will be in the kitchen cooking meals for two weeks. I'll be on my feet 3-4 hours chopping, cooking etc, and then afterwards comes the…

I definitely count them. Healthy as they are, they do contain calories and these add up.

Was born and raised in Northern, New Jersey. Have lived in Brooklyn, New York for 40 years now.

I've the same problem. Hubby can eat just about everything. Me, I have about 60 pounds to lose, and high blood pressure to boot.

I belong to a Yahoo Group 'Healthy Cuisine' . Not only do I find some great recipes, but also great tips.

That's awful. There are some really sick people out there. I'm so sorry.

We were in the 90's here in Brooklyn, New York today. The concrete makes it feel even hotter.

Awesome. You go girl.
