My personal favorite of the names listed? "The Zips". It just sounds like some weird punk-pop-hybrid band.

Love your blog, but I have to disagree about the library thing! Librarians are not into judging and looking over your shoulder. And you can use a card just to access the online magazines and journals and never set foot in the library! And you can try out DVDs before you buy. :-) Hi!

Also that sugar, highly-processed carbs and large portions are a big part of our problems. What bothers me is the most of the media advisors are still saying, "Cut down on fat." They also believe that fat causes high cholesterol, when I've known for decades that, once again, it is sugar, etc. that causes cholesterol levels to go nuts. We just have to use our own noggins, consult as many sources as possible - including PQ - and then Just Do It. BTW - don't forget Jane Fonda - the video exercise queeen. She must have sold millions of exercise videos. Plus, I think she really launched the video rental industry. I totally agree with you and Brian — Fat is NOT the culprit!

I totally agree with what you said about junk being affordable - I can eat a head of lettuce for $1.00, or a whole box of kraft dinner for $0.69 - which is going to fill me up better? Love your blog - I can never wait to see what you're going to say next! I agree with the disadvantages and advantages of trying to lose weight in this era.

Don't underestimate the power of yoyo dieting to f**k up your metabolism and mess with your head. I wish I had known a long time ago that your mind cannot indefinitely control your body, but that they need to work together as a team if you want to make lasting changes. Congratulations on having figured it out, and on doing this the right way! Also, weren’t you pretty much a “diet virgin” when you started?

You haven't reached the metabolic crawling phase like middle aged women have either. But come on, you're telling me you're not in the least wistful for shiny pink leotards and bangle weights? Not even a little bit? And also that your body is primed to still lose weight right now. You haven’t reached the metabolic crawling phase like middle aged women have either.

VCR's only started entering people's homes in the 80's and I'm sure there weren't too many exercise tapes out right away." We had Jack LaLane on TV. That was pretty much it. “I just thought of another advantage too – workout tapes/DVDs.

Fat is NOT the culprit...I believe that processed food, sugar and portion sizes are the reason that so many Americans struggle with weight.
