Slimfast
I am a few weeks' away from going to see my grandchildren in LA so for the last four weeks I have taken Slimfast in order to *kitten* weight quicker. It is only a temporary measure as I will resume eating nutritional food when I am back. I love the taste of Slimfast shakes and already I have noticed my skin is better and…

She would also add a teaspoon of salt to two litres of water. She would…

State of mind
I rarely feel true hunger - hunger is more a state of mind for me, I fantasise about food a lot. The solution to this was to find a waitressing job a few days a week.

Rowing vs Spinning classes
I have been doing 5 x cycling 45 mins classes a week in the gym for the last six months now. I am getting a bit bored with the music and find myself watching the clock.

Bagel
Very new this - did great today - a frankfurter for lunch, cheese omelet and a few blueberries and greek yoghurt this evening. Thought I treat myself to a Costco bagel - has it really got 72 grms of carbs per bagel?

Hairloss after 60
I am eating healthier "cleaner" food than ever before, why I am losing masses of hair? I take a high grade multivitamin, collagen tablets everyday and Saw Palmetto. Has been checked by doctor, no hormonal unbalance and blood count ok. Will soon need to wear a wig. Anyone can suggest something that could stop this hairloss?
