oops - I see you are in England. Sorry; you may not be able to get the publication I recommended BUT you can view it on the web site I think.

Plus - you can certainly ride an exercise bike with just one leg/foot operating the pedals. Get off the couch and flat on the floor. Leg lifts, sit ups, etc. do not require an ankle!!

Please don't shoot the messenger but I may be able to help. I know you and I are not in the same demographic. I'm 72-years old and because of joint problems, have to look for alternate forms of exercise. I found a life-saver from our own National Institute of Aging. It is a program called Go4Life. They publish a FREE…

Absolutely!! The higher the price, the more generous the garment is cut.d What I really hate is seeing women on these weight loss shows (US TV) who start out at 250 pounds, drop down to 180, and are then presented as wearing a size 6 or 8. No way woman who weighs 180 pounds, regardless of how tall she is, is getting into a…

I hope it lasts. My husband had a heart attack seven years ago, and was motivated to loose 80 pounds. Within four years, he put it all back on, and was on the operating table having open heart surgery. After that, he again lost weight but it is all back again. At first, I beat myself up because I wasn't "helping" him, but…

Once, in a little pond, in the muddy water under the lily pads, there lived a little water nymph in a community of water nymphs. They lived a simple and comfortable life in the pond with few disturbances and interruptions. Once in a while, sadness would come to the community when one of their fellow nymphs would climb the…

Ladies - if you scroll down on the Community page, you see a groups - listed under Groups - called Senior Golden Sneakers. Don't be fooled by the title - this is a group of folks, 50+ that is VERY active, VERY supportive of each other and just plain fun. Within the group you'll find some "sub" groups including the Pound a…

How much sodium per serving???

Here's mine - The before was taken in June of 2010 - I weighed about 196 pounds This after was taken November 11, 2011 - 30 pounds lighter at 166 pounds. I have 20 more pounds to loose. Hope it doesn't take as long as the first 30. Connie Pomona, MO

Great thread, Barb! thanks for starting it. We are owned by two Afghan Hounds. The older, Will, is an AKC show ring champion. He is CH Allure's Summer Persuasion. Allure kennels is in Ohio and is known for breeding champion lure coursers. Will was born in Dallas, however and he will be 7-years old on January 24, 2012. The…

We could have both for a while and then you can all decide what you prefer. The reason I thought of it is this: I remember someone talking about a kind of exercise they were doing - this was last spring some time. Well, I had to read through months of posts to find what I was looking for and never did find it. Someone else…

Attention to all the Senior Golden Sneakers. My Fitness Pal has a new feature that may help us keep in touch with each other, find each other after an absence, and keep our topics and thoughts a little more organized. It is called Groups. When you click on the Community tab, you will see Message Boards (where we are now),…

Rainy, overcast day here in the Ozarks. So far it hasn't dropped below 41° (was in the 60s overnight) but they're telling us to expect freezing temps later today and tonight which means ice. Sometimes I think snow is preferable. We watched a most exciting football game last night full of drama, angst, moans and cheers but…

If it is calories burned that you're after you really don't need a heart rate monitor. If you figure between 5 and 7 calories a minute you'll be close enough. 5 if you're not really pushing it - and 7 if you're working up a sweat. I do intervals - a count of 120 at a lower effort, a count of 60 at extreme effort, then back…

No wonder our Words with Friends game has been sitting for eight days.

You either have the wrong person or the wrong team, Marie. I am a Green Bay Packer fan - the only undefeated team in professional football!!! And I've filed the papers to adopt Aaron Rogers!

Hi everyone. Been gone a while and have to admit, I backslid a bit, especially after having four Thanksgiving meals in one month! I'm back at it and may drop in from time to time. Figured it would encourage me if I posted some progress photos so you can check out this link to see my before/after. This is at 30 pounds lost.…

Where are you getting your calorie counts? Yesterday you logged a 10 oz. filet (beef??) at 250 calories! Lean beef regardless of cut runs about 67-70 calories an ounce. A 10 ounce filet would be 670-700 calories, not 250. If the rest of your calorie counts are as inaccurate, it is no wonder you are not loosing weight.…

Marie said... Ii think you meant landscaping, right Marie? The project is finished and now we're just waiting for grass to grow. Here's how it turned out.

I'm sure she meant you must be a proud dad!! I agree.

Just checking in. Hot here, too, Marie. Like yours, our veg garden is mostly toast. I have a few tomato plants hanging on. The little cherry tomatoes are dehydrating on the vine. Squash bugs ate all the zucchini plants and are now working on the cucumbers. I've started some new zucchini plants under mosquito netting.…

Do you have Type 2 Diabetis? The question you're asking here should be asked at the doctor's office. Most have a registered dietitian to help patients plan menus and determine nutrients. Have you visited www.diabetis.org web site and looked at the guidelines there? There is a Macro Nutrient calculator at…

I'm so glad you posted - I've been preaching about hypothyroidism til my face turned blue!! Many women are affected and most do not know. Their doctor's poo poo them and won't even do a simple blood test for their levels. I'm (luckily) normal, but I have a pooch who suffers and it has made a world of difference to him once…

Biscuits made with baking mix (Jiffy, Bisquick, etc.) are 81 calories each when made with whole milk. That would be 14 biscuits from a recipe. 2 Cups mix, 2/3 cup whole milk. - 14 biscuits. When made with 2% milk, take 1 calorie away. When made with skim milk, take 3 calories away. I think any basic biscuit recipe would be…

Barbie said: I'm so glad for you guys - having to keep a house in "show case shape" is a burden, especially when you have pets. I can appreciate what you've gone through. Sounds perfect for two people. We downsized, too, when moving here then had to add more square feet because most company drove so far they had to stay…

Of course your cup size is going to drop as your body sheds fat. The breast is a mass of glandular, fatty, and fibrous tissues positioned over the pectoral muscles of the chest wall and attached to the chest wall by fibrous strands. A layer of fatty tissue surrounds the breast glands and extends throughout the breast. The…

Fancy Lady said: Sandy, I think this was meant for you, not me. I haven't posted jokes. I have two dogs, not one. I live nowhere near a casino, and I'm not babysitting for anyone!!!

Barbie and Jake - never easy to say good bye to an old friend. It's comforting to know you were there with him as he crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I have some glorious news to share. For the past couple of days, the scale, which I rarely use, has reported that I am now a "healthy" weight. Admittedly, I'm still at the very…
