    I'm a shameless compliment fisher

    By the way, did I mention that I can buy a lot of my tops, sweaters, etc. in GapKids or in the kids department at Old Navy?? No pants/shorts though. I have hips and they don't (yet). --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I...

    I'm a shameless compliment fisher

    I'm 46 and have had it frequently assumed that I am 10 years younger. I know they're not just saying it to be nice when I see the look on their face when I tell them my real age. In my case, I think it helps that I am so small and also that my skin has always been oily and I have been using...

    Who does something even if you don't like it?

    I hate shoulder work!! x( But I do it anyway. Also visiting my in-laws but that's another story. --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning" - Mahatma Ghandi

    A large fruit salad and some cookies that are on the plain side like biscotti or butter cookies so people can have healthy and a little something sweet?? --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the...

    Memorial Weekend Plans?

    No set plans. I'm just hoping the sun will be out by then and it will be over 50 degrees! --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning" - Mahatma Ghandi

    Oatmeal, so good for me, but yuck....

    I hate oatmeal too (except in cookies :9). It has bad mouthfeel. I know what you mean though about wanting to like it because it's good for you. I have the same problem with sweet potatoes. I try them and try them and I just don't like them. But I want to!! --Lois "If I have the...

    Re: Naturally Flavored Water....

    I am a Propel user also. I find I will drink much more Propel during my workout than I would drink plain water. I try to drink plain water after my workout but I know I don't drink enough so if I'm aware this is happening, I'll grab another bottle of Propel. I'm a Strawberry-Kiwi fan...

    MARRIAGE PROBLEMS!

    Do me just one favor. Make sure you know the number of your local women's domestic violence hotline. I pray you never need it but there's something about your post that makes me worry. I sincerely hope I'm overreacting but I'll take that chance. I'll be thinking of you.. --Lois "If I...

    Caliper and Omron

    Unfortunately it is factored in. The caliper will measure the skin that it "pinches". The 3 sites where women are measured are the midpoint of the triceps, the midpoint of the outer thigh, and the suprailium which is about two fingers above the hipbone. --Lois

    Caliper and Omron

    Caliper testing is one of the most accurate ways to measure your body fat. Just make sure you know exactly where and how to test and how to interpret the results. If you need confirmation, see a personal trainer. BMI does not distinguish between fat mass and muscle mass which is why many...

    Moving forward in a positive direction....

    Hey Janice, I have mother-control issues as well and I'm 46!! I could write the longest post in Cathe forum history to try and describe the entire situation but the bottom line is, that although she is not overtly abusive, she sure knows how to push my buttons and sometimes I wished she just...

    Wellbutrin & Remeron (Mirtazapine)

    I can certainly vouch for that. Even though all of us may have taken the drug at one point or another, "your mileage may vary". However, as I said before, DO NOT hesitate to tell your doctor if any side effect is unacceptable to you. If the doc isn't sympathetic, find a new one (easier said...

    Has anyone ever used Tazorac for acne??

    My doctor also told me that once you go on Accutane, you don't need to go on it again after the first course of treatment. Obviously, my skin wasn't listening when he said that because I've been on it three different times already!! Fortunately, I never experienced any side effects. If...

    The power went out during my workout!!

    oh my, i guess i have nothing to complain about. Today was supposed to be an "off" day for me, but I can't go without my Bootcamp fix for another week. I'll squeeze it in somehow!! I'm not an addict or anything.....:-):-):-) --Lois

    A weather rant

    In Massachusetts it didn't get above 50 all last week, rained off and on most days. It rained yesterday, today and is supposed to rain all week!! I wore polarfleece to my son's soccer game yesterday. I have yet to put on a pair of shorts and can count on the fingers of one hand the days I...

    Wellbutrin & Remeron (Mirtazapine)

    I have been very clear with my doctor that weight gain automatically eliminates the drug from consideration. She is very sensitive to this and totally supportive. As I said before, those drugs are in the "only as a last resort" category. I got very lucky when I found my doctor. I have been...
