I'm a 41 year old male.  I'm approx. 5'6" in height and while on
vacation last August and on my 3rd soda of the day I asked myself
"What am I doing?"  The next day I weighed myself and had finally gone
over the 200 lb mark.  I had always told myself that I'd never reach

Still in induction and my throat is sore.  Can I eat some sugar free jello?  I
know it has aspartine in it (ok I spelled that wrong lol) but I need something
for my throat.   If anyone can give me some advice I would appreciate it.  I
have been wearing shorts out here for the past ...

I have been amazed by the actual number of carbs and calories that are
in a day's eating after I started using fitday.com.  I was a champion
at unsuccessful low-fat "dieting", and thought I could keep a mental

Hey everyone
Well, eating just enough to get rid of hunger pangs, but staying on

   This is for you newbies that are constantly afraid of all the doom and
gloom BS you hear from your friends, and the net. Just got my bloodwork and
my chloresterol actually is still slowly going down. It used to be about
250, and after LCing 5 years was 210 today. This really ...

I noticed that Lexin mentioned in a post about "messing around on
LiveJournal" and I wondered how many of us here have weblogs?
If you don't want to share the URL, that's fine -- but I'm really
curious about how many folks just on this NG do online journalling.

ok just surfed in to see whats up ...
I am  a firm believer in low carb ... have lost over 80lb ... and have
really maintained for the last year ... but like anything i did see my
scales go up ... so i would cut back same song and dance

Forgive me if my title and question is politically incorrect; How
successful is the product herbalife?. I seemed to be getting it in the
search whenever I punch in diet and weight control. There are
testimonials of course but I guess this support group will be unbias

There was a lady giving out snacks, who had some canned salmon mixed with
Ranch dressing into a spread.   It was absolutely delicious.   I bet it
would go well on cucumber slices or on celery sticks.

I had a couple of hard boiled eggs sitting in the fridge ready to go with
me to work today, and like a dumbass I forgot them.  Around 2ish I felt my
energy flagging, since I hadn't eaten yet, and I said what the hell, maybe
I'll get something from the vending machine.  I couldn't ...

Has anyone heard from Carol Ann?  Has she split into two separate persons
yet?
I remember that Bridget was pregnant, too.  Any news there?  
Nosily yours,

BTW Thanks, Damsel and  Luna!  I am glad to be back.
