I read Changes awhile ago and it left me a little unsettled with the direction the series was taking. I guess I don't like changes haha. I have Ghost Story sitting on my bedside table but I haven't started it yet.

Great group! I've noted so many books to check out. I read just about everyday and usually have 4 or 5 books on the go. I also listen to audio books in the car. I'm trying to make a dent in the "Modern Library 100 Best Novels - Board Picks" but I can't seem to make it through the James Joyce books but the rest of the top…

Some great suggestions here! I love the dystopian genre! And I also loved The Book Thief. 2 stand outs from my book club are: The Sisters Brothers by Patrick Dewitt - Modern Western?(not like any book I've ever read) inside the head of a gun for hire Three Day Road by Joseph Boyden - inspired by the legend of Francis…

What a great thread! Thanks for starting this post, it's very inspiring. WTG ladies!! It does seem to be harder to lose at 41 than at 31~ I'm at 1200 or less and eating low carb. It's working for me. I'm down 26lbs since the beginning of the year. I feel so much more in control when I cut out the sugar and carbs! Like a…

MFP set me up for the standard 1200. I tried 1500 but wasn't really losing. I think being a shorty works against me. Lots of days I'm under 1200 but if I'm feeling hungry I'll eat more. I'm trying to get in tune with my body and not eat when I'm bored etc. Once you're past the carb flu stage you really do have more energy.…

Thanks for the link. I'm sending that to my 73 y/o mum who is worried about her memory. And since I don't have kids to take care of me when I'm older I'll need all my marbles! What? alcohol effects the brain? lol ya, that may cause some trouble....

Good Calories Bad Calories = paradigm shift for me (listened to audio book - easier than reading, it would of been a tough read!) Your Daily Goal calories 1,500 - carbs 19 - Fat 100 - protein 131

I have coffee w/tsp coconut oil and a bit of cream for breakfast and then lunch and dinner. It makes my mornings easier. If I'm hungry I have a piece of cheese. I was skipping breakfast and lunch but was eating soooo much at dinner and I didn't feel quite right.

Some research shows calorie restriction is good for longevity and health. It's probably challenging long term but ultimatley you have to listen to your own body. I used to get really caught up in what other people said about health and nutrition. Now I research and make up my own mind. There is so much information and…
