Another blast from the past...

Maybe I was mistaken, but I thought I saw a photo of you and Kurt on another thread If that was you, you look great! It didn't look to me like you have a weight problem. But I agree that it's important to remain healthy, exercise, etc. I can feel your pain about weight gain and getting older. Maintaining my weight was never a problem until after I turned 40, and then it seemed like I was taking in calories just looking at food! I might just as well have glued the food to my hips I've had to struggle to keep from gaining weight ever since then, but it sure feels like an uphill battle and it sure ain't getting any easier!

I've never tried yoga, but it's always intrigued me. Good luck to both you and Cork! :clap_1: It's always great to have a work-out buddy!

the camera lies big time! I'm 5'1 (almost). If I gain a pound its like "whoa!". I've gained a lot more than a pound since pregnancy and beyond... I guess when you get pregnant at 40 (with a crappy ankle) your effort to shed those excess pounds needs to be very very intense - which I never really gave it an effort. After 4 years, I realize I've become completely out of shape and its a real drag. It's my fault, and only I can fix it.

I'm in.

We need to get Abe Drinkin' to be one of our on-line counselors. He's got some great food suggestions. I'd certainly rather spend my time talking to you guys about all this than going to some meeting with a bunch of "strangers"--

he ain't worth talking to...

You may be right, but again, I'm not talking about "off-duty" hours. If talking to him is part of your job, you have no choice. When I inspect a contractor's jobsite and have to inform him that he's not in compliance, I need for him to know I mean business. I guess you have to be there to understand what I'm talking about.

I thought that is where the failing grade or citation comes into play. No playey by the rules, no C.O. He may be still be talking to your breast then, but he will most likely be cussing at them.

I know what you mean - you need to have their attention as you conduct a serious business matter. Dressing professionally is a good thing in any situation, for both male and female.

This is a test for you to discover where you are looking.

I once never had to worry about being overweight - until I hit 35, and then after having a baby

Ugh, this is so me--I never knew how lucky I was to never have to even think about gaining weight until these very factors came into play. Both of those things wreak havoc on your metabolism. Thank goodness L'il Pea #4 is cute, otherwise I might not like him very much.

And then, you get to look forward to "the change" factor..............

I admit, I did look at the leopard skin pouch first - I do not know why. talk about Mr Self Esteem... this guy must be at least 80.
