I r ember those roller things too (although strangely enough, that one might have a leasr been useful for something, at least for a massage lol. 1968... Yep, right about then! I simply can't believe that there are current gyms that have these. Seriously??? That is a little scary.

What they said ..... and next time call me and I will show up and say nasty stuff that will hurt their feelings! Seriously, I would enjoy it and you would be guilt free. I don't keep my mouth shut well in the face of ignorance and cruelty.

Not to be the bearer of bad (or good) news but from what you have said it is very,very likely that you do *not* come close to fitting the criteria for surgery in the US. There are significant medical baselines you must meet, in addition to a full pscyhogical assessment (also some surgeons and/insurers require additional…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: wow, my neighbor had one of those when I was very young and when you put that belt around me it vibrated so fast that it made me itch like a mad person! At least it increased blood flow :drinker:

So many that other members have already mentioned .... That after a lifetime of hating exercise (or believing that I did), I actually look forward to my workout. Still not sure I have any of those post -workout endorphins! That some people are asking if I intend/want to lose more. Say what??? Maybe they don't see well or…

And Count Chocula! I was in that first (large range) group of children regaled with jiffy pop and pop tarts and cartoon cereals and frozen dinners and soda and tang and ...... And no doubt part of the first children to live most of their lives on a huge percentage of processed foods. I understand why it happened, no one…

Crankster - probably right on that. I am so busy on the weekdays that anything beyond something fast and superficial posting wise is tough. Thanks for that suggestion!

Dodge.... We're easy to understand as long as you remember all the rules :laugh:

Dav- no replies in the first couple days so it was more my little personal joke, it was a response to no one.... Get it? I am always polite with any post replies, when there are replies, but in this case there weren't any flies! Morebean13 - pretty cool idea. I had my DNA, deep ancestry test, through National…

Sj46 - I agree with your profile quote / goal of one day being a kick *kitten* old lady! :glasses:

Yep, thanks so much. Really .

My honest opinion - I have a wii and the fitness "games" (zumba and "fit") but I don't find them nearly as good or effective as basic DVD workouts. The Zumba characters move strangely (or maybe at 52 my body just won't move that way :laugh: ) and the wii fit sections simply aren't long enough or strenuous enough to produce…

I like mine, it's a Scoshe brand (can be purchased all over, apple stores to amazon). It's actually worn on the forearm and comes with three different strap sizes to fit pretty much anyone). Mine is a MyTrek from last year, but they have additional models (these will link to MFP, which is handy!)

Susiessweets - it's a bar code scanner you can use at the grocery store or wherever (similar to the WW scanner app). When you click to add a food On you iPhone or other device with your app, there is a small button to the right of the search box that has a tiny bar code on it.... Click that to open the scan feature (it…

I still have a membership (only 3 mo) and thinks it is a great program for many (particulary the way they gear it now with a veggie/fruit focus and stressing reasonable goals). The real draw was their database and apps (and to a lesser extent, an easier way to conceptualize healthy choices by point units). But I am tired…

Jin Go Lo Ba - Fat Boy Slim Maria Maria - Santana Miss Independent - Kelly Clarkson Out ta Get Me - Guns n Roses Sex on Fire - Kings of Leon Welcome to the Jungle - Guns n Roses Boom Boom Mama - Da Family These Boots Are Made for Walking - Nancy Sinatra or Quick Jaxx Womanizer - J Rae You Can Leave Your Hat On - Tom Jones…

What you see in the mirror will lag behind, sometimes pretty far behind, the scale. Others will notice before you do. For some, it can take years to fully conceptualize the change (especially those who have undergone bariatric surgery and lost weight extremely fast). We spend so long seeing ourselves one way (accurate or…

0 calorie drinks (coffee, water, tea), spices except chopped garlic, an occasional TUMS

That's so great lol

Mine is wasting away, used it once. Bought it because I love gadgets, but it doesn't fit well with the type of workouts that I do and I use my heart rate monitor much more.

I say no, but I am biased.... I started using them for HIIT cardio and ended up with a really severe tennis elbow that I may never get healed :-(. Maybe partly my own fault, but still....

I am usually picky about veggies and I really liked it. I used the microwave method (3 min each of 4 sides) then put it in a pain with olive oil and (a) lean ham, mushrooms, and Romano / Parmesan and pasta sauce on one occasion and with (b) garlic, chicken, olive oil, Romano / Parmesan, and onion the second time. Try it…

I much prefer the just dance wii's vs. Zumba. First, I like a lot of the songs on the just dance series and secondly I am not sure that my body is meant to move the way that Zumba wants it to move! PS. Th only downside of just dance is the amount of lag time between songs (for me, that lag is frustrating).

YES YOU CAN! I sincerely, honestly, really have no time for the gym. But I work out 6 days a week at home. Those workouts are spread among these and other at home workouts.... ...High intensity intervals (using the iPad app "seconds" I set up the intervals using my music and doing in place "sprints" or jacks for the high…

Tjham1 - what a nice son- in- law! :heart:

I don't know how I lived before laughing cow! So many great ideas here, hummus is a definite to try. Spelt pretzels I will also try (spelt bread was horrid, IMHO, but if they are Newmans I am assuming they will be pretty tasty) :love:

My mother has noticed almost from the start, but my Mother always notices everything (you couldn't evn get Botox and her not notice!). My husband will comment if I do (in a positive way). I honestly think other people are often trying to be polite or sensitive. I feel that people often don't want to insult someone by…

Ok, you have officially lost your young mind :noway: :laugh: truthfully, I wish I had that kind of insanity!

Olsondre -I love mine madly, BUT they aren't great workout partners (mine mostly scare me to death walking near me during cardio or deciding after my workouts have started that they suddenly must go outside and promptly start barking at everything). LOL I will forgive them anything!

I have got to try hummus. Ii last had some in S. Fl 15 years ago! Just have to remember to put it on the stupid list LOL
