Real night sweats are different than just waking up a little sweaty. If you have one, you will know. I am 43 and have had two of them in the past year. My OB/GYN says they are, in my case, a harbinger of menopause. Symptoms can start ten years prior. When they happen to me, I wake up drenched, and the bed is too. I mean…

PS I am 43 and my grandma wasn't born until 1917.

Bingo. Prohibition started in 1920. Even then people drank. Roaring 20s anyone? Attitudes about alcohol are and we're also impacted by geographical areas. I live in the Bible belt and just last week a neighboring county went wet.

My problem is that I need a 42 band and most seem to stop at 40.

I work at home, and I have an extra computer on my desk where I sometimes stream TV shows while I work. Lately I have been watching old seasons of The Biggest Loser. When Jillian goes crazy and starts screaming at people, my right eardrum spasms. True story. It's like there is a moth in my ear (there isn't) but apparently…

Can of worms here: Is Paleo/Primal the next in line to follow low fat/low carb?

I just lost myself in that site and its links for about two hours. Enjoyed it thoroughly!

My daughter is in college. She keeps oatmeal packets in her room. She also has a big bag of 123 cake mix for when she wants chocolate (1 box angel food cake mix, 1 box any other flavor, mix those together. 3 T mix plus 2 T water in microwave for 1 minute = a perfect ~120 cal cake).

I made this last night and it was great. http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/orecchiette-with-kale-bacon-50400000108345/

This is so funny, my daughter is going to school at UK starting this week. We have been posting about it in Facebook and my husband's family (from Denmark) has been thinking for months that she is moving to England!

Just toss those two together in a gallon sized Baggie and mix.

Ice cream and butter.

I have been looking at these. Which one do you think is best for a beginner?

I looked at some of your recent entries and they seem very high- like 675 calories for light effort bike 45 mins. Almost 400 for 30 minutes.

Do you wash your strap?

I give myself options. I can do cardio, yoga, bike, etc. But, I do something every day. Since there are so many different choices it gets rid of the, "I don't feel like doing x" thing. There's always y. After about two weeks of doing something every day, I found myself craving it. It's like my day isn't complete until I do.

We are weird here. We don't do the whole turkey thing. My husband is European and has no nostalgia about it, and the kids hate it. So several years ago we made it our personal tradition to have beouf bourguignon as our Thanksgiving meal. It's special to us, everyone gets super excited about it, and I get to use my awesome…

Next time that happens, drive to my house and we will do Abba Just Dance. No one can be sad through that.

ISTJ - company owner. Yes, I chafe at the client contact part.

We actually calculated yesterday, based on a Duncan Hines chocolate fudge mix and a Schnucks brand angel food mix. 3T came out to 120 calories. I like to let a few chocolate chips melt on top for "frosting" so that adds a few more.

The Rock!

Hulu has full episodes of Yogazone.

Here's a word of encouragement. It gets easier. Once you start eating better and exercising, suddenly you want to only eat good things and you feel the need to exercise. I have never been small either, and have never been fit. But I have been doing this for about 6 weeks and yesterday I was in the grocery and couldn't even…

Available as well! On here a lot, open diary.

I love it too. Does it relate to the cow somehow?
