My niece, who inherited high cholesterol, said she has had good results with niacin capsules. My husband is taking them now. Luckily for me, my cholesterol is in a healthy range.

Try them on in a store and walk around in them before you buy them. I have a pair and I like them a lot. But, after wearing them all day inside (I'm a librarian), sometimes my knees start bothering me. It depends on your foot shape, I think. My feet are very narrow and flat. I think they LOOK really cool, though, so I'll…

Me, too. I'm a children's librarian and after a long day of screaming kids in what is supposed to be a quiet place, I want that glass of wine or 2. Besides, if I give up drinking to lose weight and I start back after the weight is lost, I will just gain it all back. I've done it before--quit drinking during the week. So,…

I get up at 5:00 a.m. to sit with a cup of coffee and my husband and 4 cats, then I go to our home gym and do 30 minute aerobics on the mini-trampoline twice a week or a combination of walking/running on the treadmill, both with wrist weights. I have a sensible diet that is low fat & carbs. So far, I've gained 1 lb. and…
