When you are funnier than I does that make me your straight man?




Tonight at 8pm vacation began. Boarding a plane to meet 30+ members of a web site for an extended weekend of partying. If anyone sees me stumbling around the Twin Cities be kind.

That's how I like my irony served...

Hey JM,

you take the one of Left and I'll take that on...Right!


This party sounds kinda dirty JM. Why is Dat?

Knowledge is the answer. Check you practitioner, read your books and get the down and skinny with others sbout their perceptions. Find out from every possible conceivable source you can find and read up on some of the scientific literature you can stomach. If, by thn you think that buying that bag of camomile tea will cure your ills, jump in.

Cave carnem!

(no matter how rudimentary it may be; walking is a great starter

.

I have been doing a 4-mile "power walk" each day for about 12 years. I also went on a super lo-fat diet 12 years ago with a daily intake of 20 or fewer fat grams a day. The weight all but fell off me, but adhering to such a strict diet was very difficult. I've gained back a lot of the weight I lost, but I'm healthy, have a resting pulse rate of 60, blood pressure of 120 over 80, and am 63 years old. I'd like to be thinner, but it's not so easy for me. I'm also a pretty good cook, am a certified wine snob, and that doesn't help matters much either...

And, BTW, I took the jar of the remaining Alli pills and tossed it into the trash yesterday. Those horrible stains don't wash out of clothing any too easily, even with judicious applications of products like "Shout!" and the like.

Again, BEWARE of this awful product.

The post above would be the perfect ending to this thread.

Yeah. Okay Rich. Good luck!

I realized a long time ago that it's more important to be healthy than thin.

I'm glad to hear that you got rid of the pills. If you want to lose weight, I would recommend a program like Weight Watchers or something similar. They will teach you to eat better without feeling too deprived of the foods that you like. It is a lifestyle that can be maintained without too much difficulty if you are committed. Stay away from places like Jenny Craig or any place where you have to eat their food. Once you go back to cooking for yourself you'll just put the weight back on.

I've also found that a good dietician or nutritionist will help you learn to eat to lose weight. It's not an easy process, but it can be done.

If you want to do it yourself, I recommend picking up a copy of Bill Phillips book, Body for Life and the accompanying cookbook, Eating for Life.

Try some different exercises too. Your body can get used to the same routine all the time. It's good to shake things up a bit. As Kex said, nothing beats swimming for a good total body workout.

Gee, you'd think that I've been there or something.
