AZChristian May 4, 2017 Share May 4, 2017 We didn't hit much rain at all, thank goodness. Traffic was awful last night getting to the baseball game, but a breeze on the way back. Once we got out of the Houston Beltway area, it was pretty smooth sailing except for a major tractor trailer accident near Fort Stockton. We had to move over to the access road for a couple of miles. We'll be home by this time tomorrow. There's no place like it! Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19691-small-talk-only-2-ounces-of-commenting-allowed/page/9/#findComment-3241595

I haven't watched it but based on the episode descriptions some of those weight loss goals look rather unrealistic. I know the heavier I was the faster I lost weight initially, but not near as fast as some of the goals listed.

I know the heavier I was the faster I lost weight initially, but not near as fast as some of the goals listed. I think they are setting themselves up for failure, but of course that makes for good tv unfortunately. I'm at the end of the first episode, and I already have some of the same concerns you mentioned. I don't think it's healthy to lose 100 pounds in only 90 days. But more importantly, I question if they can maintain their weight loss since they did not learn the skills or develop the habits necessary for lifelong weight control. Of course people have to be more extreme in their calorie restriction and exercise program to lose weight than they would to maintain their lower weight. But the wider the gap is between what the person learns to do to lose the weight and what they need to do to maintain that weight loss, the more likely it is that they'll regain their weight back. And more. However, I still find it oddly inspiring to watch people lose so much weight so quickly. I find myself thinking I can do it too, just not so quickly. Plus, I love seeing how they look after losing the weight. There is no question people look much better when they have a healthier weight. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19691-small-talk-only-2-ounces-of-commenting-allowed/page/9/#findComment-3243430

PrincessPurrsALot May 26, 2017 Share May 26, 2017 Continuing the discussion from the Pauline update episode thread about the difference between dentures and crowns. Dentures are false teeth placed on a plastic plate that fits into your mouth. The plates cover more surface than just where the teeth are because they need to encompass the gums. You can have uppers, lowers or both (full set). They are secured to your gums with denture adhesive - a temporary glue. So you take them out to clean them and at night. Partials are tooth replacements that are also attached to a plastic or other form of plate. However the plate for a partial is only to cover the area that the teeth are needed. Partials are used when someone is missing some teeth but not all uppers or lowers. So, if you had a few missing teeth, you could get a partial. Depending on the configuration, they can be hooked to other permanent teeth with firm metal wires. Or they can be held in place with adhesive. Sometimes they simply snap over the gums, especially if they are front teeth where the gums are more narrow. Crowns are placed over existing teeth. The natural teeth are either already worn down or the teeth are ground and shaped to hold the crown. The crowns are then glued in place. They are meant to be permanent. That's why if someone says they lost a crown it's a big issue. The tooth underneath is not one they want to be chewing with or exposing to hot or cold food/beverages. Implants are the new, more expensive option. For implants, posts are imbedded into the bone and the implant is permanently glued to the post. They are meant to be permanent. They are treated like regular teeth; that is, you brush them, get the cleaned, etc. However, you don't have to worry about cavities.
