No, you really never do know, Ruth. Of course, our foods today have so much in them we don't know about and our lifestyles are much different than our grandparents also. It is nice having a strong body but I will take a loving heart any day of the week. What is lovely to look at and beautiful...

That sounds wonderful...unfortunately I now live in the boonies of upstate New York with no facilities...BUT...a local school..about thirty miles away...has had the vision of actually putting in a decent gym for the kids and are working on an indoor pool....so hoping down the road to take...

It sounds interesing Caroline...I would like to read it as well. I am in the process of moving and want to get a nice exercise area in the new old house set up. I have the basic...a very good weight bench, dumbbells, bar and recumbant bike...and TV with video...but am open to new ideas also.

HB Glad you enjoy the writing...I type fast and it is nice to air our thoughts sometimes, isn't it? I probably wander a bit but it is my excuse to actually write. I do some editing in the morning for a professional writer friend of mine...and was thinking yesterday morning as I sat here on my...

Can I have her too, Ruth? This makes me miss my sister even more...my twin...we would love working out together but have always been in the wrong places at the wrong times...I was married for thirty years and she was the roving hippie for thirty years...and now we have totally reversed...

How times have changed! I remember being mesmerized by my grandparents when they smoked...they rolled their own...had this little cabinet next to the wing chair with all the supplies...it was like a big mystery to us and we felt honored to make those little white things. Then they started...

I should try to cultivate a taste for tea, Ruth. I am afraid I am a coffee addict...just because I love the taste ... in the morning especially...guess it is a comfort thing going back to my childhood days at my grandparents...always started the day around the big oak table before barn chores...

RE: Please tell me what cathes weight loss rotation is That in-be-tween stuff is a killer, isn't it Dorthe. Do you write down what you eat. I think it surprises us what goes into our mouths that we don't even think about. I have been reading a book called Voluntary Simplicity...and it can be...

RE: Please tell me what cathes weight loss rotation is Thanks for the info Ruth...I was curious myself what this was since it had been mentioned a few times. Will give it a look see... : )... Kathleen

RE: Made My Day!!! HB...since I am new to this forum...you must tell me what your bakeoff is all about. You can e-mail if you like. My daughter is a wonderful cook...she watches the cooking channel like it is MTV...and is also the reason I need to exercise more often!!!

Thanks for all of your input. I think it is basically the same way I have felt...so much of the supplement industry is just in it for the profit...and the health concerns are quite real also. I did take a herbal class about a year ago from a very knowledgable teacher. Her very first comment...

Was wondering in any of you had used supplements and what your experience with them has been? I was doing Body for Life for awhile but was concerned about the supplements they wanted you to use...so did not continue with it.

RE: Running, Weight Loss Programs, Etc. The diet sounds interesting Sandra...is there something on the web about it. This whole eating thing is confusing sometimes isn't it...I have been a dieter for almost 42 years!...so, have experience the good the bad and the ugly. The only thing I can...

Definitely give running a try Tracey...I would start slow though and just challenge yourself a little more each time. I am not a runner but I do jog...never thought I could even do a mile but I alternated between walking and jogging and pushed myself a few more steps each time...it is surprsing...

Good luck Aimee....where is the competition, by the way...anywhere on the east coast??

RE: The Babe There was a wonderful program on a few months ago about women in athletics...focusing on discrimination and how they had overcome...I sat in there in tears it was so touching. Just how much they had to overcome to do what they want to do. It made me appreciate even more all of...

Hi Nicole...I will measure mine once it arrives. I was a little confused as to exactly how long it is...I think one of the other ladies has one though...so she might respond. This will be my first bar also. I like that it was padded and my hands are larger so that won't be a problem size wise...

Great job Ruth...I will take 3# anyday. I was weighing every day for awhile...just to monitor my eating habits. I had gained a lot of weight last year due to stress and hadn't been paying attention. Of course, we gain it one pound at a time and it creeps up slowly. So, will probably go back...

That menopause thing has me stifled too. I think I have pretty much gone through it without too much difficulty...well...that is probably an understatement since I left a thirty year marriage and set myself free...but...my twin sister (we are 50) is having the opposite experience...has been on...

Hi Kelly Sounds like you are off to a good start. It is so hot here today I don't feel much like eating anyway. I was going to get a two mile trot in this morning but was running late so did a warmup on my stationary bike and legs and arms on MIS. It felt good and am anxious to get my new...
