Omron Pedometer question
Please be gentle with me....I am 60 years old and trying to get healthy. I've yo yo dieted a lot over the years, but this is the first time I am adding exercise, so although I've been at it since August of 2012, I'm still pretty weak physically.

Healthy Goals
Let’s make sure that we support one another to achieve healthy goals. As a mother and a grandmother, I worry about people on this site who are so vulnerable and are asking for advice on how to achieve an unrealistic goal.

Gaining weight on vacation
I have been a faithful member of MFP and in spite of the fact that I follow my diet and exercise program, I have only lost 11 pounds in two months time. I wouldn't complain about that except for the fact that I just got back from vacation (one week) and gained 4 pounds! How is it that it takes two months to lose 11 pounds,…
