One of my worst jobs was a real estate agent. Argh, I was bored out of my mind.

Best thing in the world is to have someone comment that you have lost weight! Mine was my son's best man who I saw in a store last week. I always knew he was a sweetheart.

My diet says animal protein every 3rd or every other day and plant protein on the rest of the days.

You need to go see a doctor. Ouch!

When I was working I always made extra for dinner the night before and took leftovers in my lunch the next day. Little did I know that I was the envy of the other ladies? Guess my lunch blew away their sandwiches? If I were you I would find a good smoothie recipe. Mix it up the night before and put it in a insulated…

Well if the first recipe is good then I think the second maybe even better! I made the first recipe for Saint Pats for my son who had the puking flu and it was a good comfort food. He wanted to know if I eat alot of potatoes on my diet? Silly man I said; I made them for especially for you.

Try Colcannon, cabbage and potatoes mixed. Amazingly good: http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/red_potato_colcannon.html I used nonfat milk and substituted a bit of olive oil for the butter. Also saw this one which I might try next: http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/colcannon.html

Time for a new dietition! Yikes.

Went to a dietition at my doctor's request. Her one size fits all diet made me feel terrible. So the doc sent my blood off for DNA testing for $200 and viola according to my DNA/The Gene Diet, I should be eating one portion of animal protein only every third day and plant protein on the other days and 55% of my diet should…

Kerri, you hit that one right on the head. My husband's dad for many many years would loudly ask him how much he weighed in front of a room full of people every chance he got. Pop died of Alzhiemers eventually. Also a friend was asked by his 5 year old when he was going to have his baby? Ouch

I know shock stops you in your tracks. Wish I could think of something quickly when someone slings you a comment/insult as in "gee I thought you were older". Wish you could have piped up," why no I am just fat but thank you for pointing that out! You have made "my day. You have a nice day now." Argh, thoughtless people.

Get out and cross country ski. Quickest way I know to get in shape.

I am 59 and have had problems all my life with certain foods. Just got my DNA tested for $200 and now I know why eggs, animal fats and proteins, fish oil supplements etc are not my cup of tea. If you are interested, google the Perfect Gene Diet. I got the paperback book online for $12 after my PA suggested I look into…

Try mixing tea: green tea or black tea and add a flavored tea(pick a flavor you really enjoy; peach, berry etc) and drink without sweetner. There are some wonderful tasting combinations that are especially good over ice.

No it is not designed to make you lose weight but as a by product you will lose if you follow the guidelines for the diet. And yes it is a rest of life chance. I was taking fish oil to reduce my bad cholesterol and increase good cholestrol numbers but my genes say that this is not what I should be taking. So 6 months of…

Google, The Perfect Gene Diet, and buy the book. Also here is a website, http://perfectgenediet.com/ The doctors office I use has just started this testing. He says I am his first to be tested. Cost $200 for the gene test. Totally think it is worth the money since after going to a dietician who gave me a one size fits all…

I am 59 and my husband is 60. He finally has started to support my weight lose just within the last 2 months. He needs to lose 80 pounds. It has taken him 60 years to realize he may have to live a more healthy lifestyle. Well dah.... Interesting to see if he will sustain the momentum.

Try a half of grapefruit a day. I eat a whole one every other day.

Look up Strong Women/Bone classes in your area. Here in Alaska I am taking them from the UAA Cooperative Extension and they run only $36 for a series. Once you learn the routine then you can increase your weights and continue doing them at home on your own.

Haven't missed the sweets. I now fix a daily banana berry smoothie and I feel like I am getting a milk shake every day. yum

Thanks. Will have to give these a try!

Greek! Great tips! Now I just have to find someone who wants to go out to eat Greek....

Listen to your doctor. Eating too little will catch up to you. Losing weight slow and easy is best.

Hmmmm, turkey white bean chili sounds good. Must cut recipe so I won't be eating it for the next week or freeze; my husband travels for work. And I can add dark green leafy things to that. My dietition wants me to add 2 cups of organic dark greens a day to diet? She must be thinking dry leaves but even so.

Wow, soon you will be walking on air!

Yeah my dietition says I should eat 3 whole eggs a week. Now I know why I feel terrible after eating whole eggs for breakfast; nausea and flu like symptoms. Guess it is back to eating egg whites only for me.

Cross country skiing tones arms up super fast.

Check your blood pressure. I have felt run down with indigestion for over a month and adjusted my blood pressure meds cause mine was too low and gee does that make a difference. I have lost about 10 pound also. Yours could be to high though.
