I lost weight and dyed my hair. That helped so much. But for thinning hair, my husband uses nulockz. This stuff is awesome. Not only is he growing hair he hasn't grown in years, they have this stuff you sprinkle on for instant results as if he grew hair in a minute. no joke! There are tons of positive reviews everywhere too, that's why we tried it.

Sunny I agree! Merry Christmas all.

Hi, Skippy . . . it is not so much the position of my arm but rather if I have been using them a lot or if I get over-heated (notice it more in the summer than in the winter). I agree about blocking the artery during the times I have had my arms behind my head and my head resting on my hands. When I put my arms and hands down, I will notice it then, too. Perhaps being over-heated and working with them a lot causes a bit of blocking, too? Lindaru

Searfass, I saw "Benjamin Button" so I know what you mean. I'm older and much healthier now than I was when I was young. The reason is because I have learned how to take care of myself. You wouldn't think so but it can take several decades to learn. I remember watching Jack Lalanne on TV when I was about 10 or 11. He was a healthy role model. I admired the fact of him being in good physical condition but I never...

Thank You so much ScarlettA--the fountain of youth is such a rough thing to chase--I know one thing I'm not about to spend tons of dollars on it--I've always wondered about the skin's elasticity but like so many things, like you said, it is what it is..Live life happily and accept the fact that you are aging. It's funny how we used to look forward to being an adult then.....Such is life, right? Merry Christmas

Sophie56, I swear by Bare Essentials,(minerals) best thing ever to come out. Sunny

Yea out of all the ills I wish I had Benjamin Button's disease. I'm only 30 and sometimes I feel like I'm a senior citizen. I better be as healthy as Jack Lalane when I'm older. The way I see it is its cosmic retribution. Instead of having problems when I'm an old man, I'm having them now so I'm healthy when I'm old.

Ahhh, this thread is so much fun.. I'm 54.5 and feel the same way as most of you.. the camera certainly can be cruel!! No one mentioned sunscreen.. I've been using a good sunscreen since my early 30's daily and really like Nutrogena's dry touch.. it really does not "grease" up the skin and works well. I also use unscented night cream's..just store brands and they work the best for me.. so skin care...

When I hit age 60, I thought - "This isn't so bad"! I was slim, still had thick hair, and was able to do a credible make-up job on my face. I was also taking HRT, and felt fabulous. I thought I looked good for my age, and had fewer health problems than I had had in my 50's. Everything changed as I approached the Big 7-0! By the time I arrived at 70, it was a true turning point. It was like a switch was thrown...
