Becky, I know you are right about core exercises. I do the treadmill everyday but am looking for something to do for the core that isn't too hard. I don't want to throw my back out: :laugh: My daughter gave me a DVD (can't think of the name) and it was some kind of Salsa dancing. WOW was it fast and hard........and I LOVE…

Sally, I don’t mind having some “Empty” calories that may add some enjoyment to my life:tongue: …. as much as I mind having “Mindless” or “Uncontrolled” calories:grumble: .

I also am a red wine person! I posted on another thread also and got this reply from one of the lovely ladies there: "someone mentioned diluting her juice to reduce calories. I dont know if that would work in wine, but grape juice might be nice, or grapefruit juice. There is a diet juice as well,but I forgot which one it…

Thanks Phoebe for the good ideas.:flowerforyou: You know my husband drinks a glass of water with his shot of Brandy but I never thought of doing that with the wine. Mixing it with juice (low cal) might be an option too. I DID try to mix it with diet soda, but it just made me bloated (if you know what I mean):laugh: . Have…

Michele, I am no expert, but I find that when someone is doing something healthy, whether it's eating or exercising etc......people around us may tend to feel guilty because they are not doing the same!:drinker: So in order to give thier own actions credibility....they try to criticize your's! :angry: It's so easy to put…
