suggestions needed
Just had it confirmed that I will be needing to have my hip replaced (currently have bone on bone). Not a major surprise, but not the most welcomed news. I would like to take off at least 10 pounds to make recovery a little easier. I am not a swimmer, and the doc recommended "non impact" activities to continue working the…

Winter help
I live in Minnesota, and while we haven't gotten the winter blast that the east coast got - it's coming. It always comes.

Weight wont budge
For the past 10-15 years it seems that no matter what I eat, (and mostly don't eat), my weight has either stayed the same, or gone up.
