  • I've never tried them as far I can recall. I used to take some OTC pills in the '80's off and on. I stopped after the time I couldn't remember the route to drive home.

  • It depends on your starting weight. The heavier you are, the faster it'll start to come off.

  • I love oatmeal and really didn't want the visual of vomit next time I eat it.

  • It is under the APPS when you sign in. As far as really secret...that made me laugh. Maybe I should've worded it 'one who likes to eat in private so no one can watch me inhale food'.

  • I remember reading a Dear Abby letter years ago. The writer wanted to go to law school, but she was already an adult and was saying she'd be 42 when she graduated after 7 years. Abby said, well if you don't go to law school, how old will you be in 7 years? I am trying to have that mindset. If I'm going to be a day older,…

  • Welcome from another New MFPer! I am probably a bit older than you, but I used to be your age and know what you're talking about! (well, except for the stand up desk, I've never heard of that one.) I can be pretty frugal. What kinds of things do you like to eat? Do you have to eat out a lot? Stay tuned!

But I have 4 awesome grandchildren that I watch almost every day, and I want to be more healthy so I can keep up as much as possible with them. Plus, I just want to be thin. Not…

  • I have the most loving husband. He has never made a negative comment when I've gained, and still gives loving comments no matter what size I am. At my age (57) my reply now is often 'at my age I can do (insert whatever here)' to my grandchildren who want to know why they can't do something but I can. Do your best and the…
