He finally got on the losing weight band wagon with me, and now we share an occasional baked potato or if he wants potatoes or rice, I will make them them for him at his request and just leave them off my plate.

  • Hi all, I'm so glad I found this thread! I'm 57, and have been on MFP since April of last year. My doctor recommended it to me and I have to say, it's been a life saver for me.

  • I'm 56 almost 57 and was told the other day that a neck fusion I had in Sept of 09 isn't healed yet and is causing the pain I've been having. The reason it isn't healing? I'm a smoker and I have to quit now!! My husband who is a fireman is a smoker told me he'd quit with me and support me...wrong! He's not, and I'm having…

  • My husband is a volunteer firefighter here in Georgia. He spent 20 years as a firefighter while in the Air Force, then when he retired, he didn't think he wanted to continue, but after three years, he missed it, and when he tried to get back into the field , was told he was too old. He went to work as a contractor on base…
