On Weight Loss

These dry shampoo bottles were being included as a bonus with the purchase of a regular bottle of shampoo. Turns out daughter L uses this product, so I was happy to give it to her. Have you ever used dry shampoo?  L told me to try it and I did.  I think I'd rather just wash my hair, but she likes it.


I was lamenting to an older gentleman at the gym the other day on the fact that I've been trying to lose 5 pounds forever. I'm more in danger of adding pounds than losing, could it be that my metabolism is slowing yet again? He said I looked fine, and said he actually wanted to lose 15 pounds himself. I told him he looked fine too. He said he was actually happy with his weight before Christmas. Unfortunately, things went out of hand. And we laughed. We decided as food lovers that what we can do is keep up with our regular exercise. He has asked his wife to stop bringing desserts and treats home. I suppose I should stop snacking on peppermint candies.

I'm trying to lose 5 pounds too since our trip to Chicago, but you Christine do not need to lose weight.

I think exercise is good, but we need to accept ourselves as we are! Valerie

Peppermint candies don't sound too bad. But taking one thing out of your diet can make a difference. Good luck losing those five pounds. It doesn't sound too hard but for some people it can.

I've seen those dry shampoos, but like you, I'd rather wash my hair. As for weight, we're at an age where our metabolism needs a constant push to get going; it's constantly falling asleep :) But since you exercise regularly, I'd venture to guess that you're doing just fine!

When I saw you last May, you looked perfect. You should not worry about your weight so much.

I've never used dry shampoo but I think it might be handy for long hair if cramped for time, everyone I know is on a diet, except me, lol, I stay habitually fat, lol

Please let me know as soon as possible when you find something like a miracle cure to loose weight the easy way. I also want to loose some weight and I find it really difficult. And yes I used dry shampoo when I was in the hospital once and couldn't wash my hair. It was a great experience to have something like available and I immediately felt better after using it.

that does seem the pain of losing weight for most people. Much harder to lose than gain

I haven't tried dry shampoo, could be great in some situations too. I know I should try harder to lose weight, there's just so much to do...
