weight loss support
Could you recommend a group similar to this one for folks struggling with weight loss? You are all so supportive but it seems most of you have reached your goal weight and are nearly Olympian in exercise ability -- and I just can't seem to nail it -- so I've hesitated to ask for help. I'm 67 and over 230 pounds, so a…

Withings Pulse O2 or Go tracker - any experience?
Can only use clip on-type trackers, so trying to find most fun one to use. Currently using a Fitbit Zip, which works fine but I can't see the numbers on the Zip itself, and don't want to sync with my phone more than once or twice a day.

I think it costs under $50, so not really expensive, but thought…

Homemade chicken or beef broth - how to count the calories
Soups/stews are so great this time of the year, and I have a cookbook with recipes I love. But I prefer to cook with broth or stock I've made from scratch and am at a loss as to how to count the calories. Obviously, the meat I can weigh and measure separately -- it's just the broth I'm paranoid about. Rather than make my…
