Darn it all, in spite of everything I tried to do to stay healthy, I caught the crud anyway. I'm sniffling and sneezing and the sinus pressure is killing me. I guess I'll keep on taking the vitamin...

I think I've seen ads for the cookie diet. Apparently it's a low calorie cookie with all kinds of nutrients. Kinda takes the fun out of the whole concept of cookie if you ask me.

Thanks for the tips. I used to get massages on a regular basis, but they don't fit into my budget anymore. I miss them.

What made you want to lose weight?

What motivated you all to make the decision to lose weight? For me it was travel. I love taking trips, but the extra weight was making it hard for me to get around. I went on an Alaskan cruise last...

Remedies for Headaches

I don't get headaches very often, but when I do get one the pain is severe enough to knock me flat. Aspirin and tylenol don't touch it, and I'm reluctant to use my prescription medication because it...

I hate, hate, hate and absolutely loathe exercise, so it is very hard for me to get motivated and stay motivated to do it. It helps if I reward myself frequently with things I enjoy doing, like going...

Dividing the meals this way is a great diet idea--and good for the pocketbook as well.

If I'm eating with a friend who likes the same types of food I do, we'll occasionally split an order which...

My brag is that I've lost 20 pounds since starting my diet in January. I have a lot of weight to lose so it's slow going, but I'm proud I've been able to stick to my diet (except for one day a week...

Unfortunately, I don't have a favorite exercise--I hate all of them just about equally. However if I absolutely had to pick, I guess I'd say walking is a little more tolerable than some of the others.

My biggest downfall is chocolate. I could eat chocolate 24 hours per day, 7 days per week and be perfectly content, albeit as big as a house.

Sorry, my mood swings didn't even out until after I had my hysterectomy and the hormones stopped fluctuting every month. Yet another benefit of menopause. :)

This probably isn't the right thing to...
