Please give me just a minute of your time.  I do not want to intrude on
your Newsgroup.  I, and another Grandma, have been working very hard

If you're thinking of going on a diet to lose those extra pounds

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Daily vitamin E supplements do not prevent cancer,
strokes or heart attacks in older people with vascular disease or

"When did you have gastric bypass surgery?" Her jaw dropped when I

and I feel great! I've started something recently, and now I'm really
wondering if it's the right time:  lifting weights.
Here's some facts, in no particular order:

So last night I went to the gym, hoping to get a little groove going
because I've recently eat quite a bit, but when I got there, I only did

subscription to a diet/weightloss program. Nobody answered. I thought I
would try to ask also.
I am also interested in feedback before I spend $27.

I now have seven salad days a week and that is my lunch. It affords  a
quick way to get protein, fiber, fruit and calcium in one bowl. I make
all my own dressings. To account for the fat that the dresssings are
