Teddy bears have been around for over 100 years. It is reasonable to assume, in all that time, some of them have been well loved and it is time for them to retire. Since there is no old-folks home for teddy bears they are given to collectors, or a museum to sit comfortably and be admired.

Greenfield Village and the Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan, is one of the museums where a teddy bear may live his life in peace. This museum has hundreds of items on exhibit. There are several antique exhibits that include some of the first teddy bears ever made. Be sure and see all of the exhibits, as I recall, the bears are in more than one place.

Most people believe that in order to build noticeable muscle size, they have to devote many hours in the gym, 5 or 6 days a week for many years. This is untrue, yes, hard work is required, but to devote that much time is unnecessary.

Substantial muscle growth can be achieved with 40-minute sessions 3 days a week, sometimes much less if done correctly. Muscles will only grow in size when they have fully recovered from the gym workout, then, and only then will muscle growth happen. If your goal is to achieve maximum muscle growth in the shortest possible time then there needs to be more rest days than actual workout days.

Diet diary....

Dietary fat intake should be reduced. Cooking oils used must be minimal in quantity. Saturated fat sources such as ghee,cream,cheese,etc,are best avoided.

Diet should have 15-20 per cent of the calories contributed by protein. Legumes, non-fat dairy products, fish, skinless poultry and lean meats low in fat are preferable.

Carbohydrate has to come from whole grain breads or cereals, beans, fruits (not more than two per day),wheat pasta, brown rice and vegetables. Dietary fibre present in these helps control and maintain sugar levels by allowing a slower rate of sugar absorption. Fruits like banana,grapes,custard apple and mango should be avoided or taken in very small quantities.

I've done really well on my diet. When my dad died several years ago of a heart attack (he was very young), I decided I had enough of being overweight. All in all, I've dropped about 50 lbs, most of that this year. But I still have a few to go.

Lately I've been a bit lazy about it. After my fashion trip to NY, I didn't really have a goal to work towards, and I put a few back on. Not many, but the point is that the scale is going in the wrong direction.

I recently experienced tremendous inch loss safely in 1 hour!

...I've always had some problems with my weight. At my heaviest I was 279. Not very appealing...

After months of constant exercise and watching what I eat, I've managed to get down to 208, which I'm very happy with. I'm 5'10", and my weight is evenly proportioned, so I don’t look extremely obese.

Recently, while browsing the internet, I found a method called body wrapping. It's a process of wrapping your body with either a chemical/mineral solution and/or clay/mud with various types of herbs, essential oils, and salts mixed in.
