I have a tempurpedic and I can say it's great... but only up to about 275 lbs... The wear and tear on the foam at higher weights makes it become uneven (I slide off the side or into the middle) in no time at all. We're on our second matress in 10 years and while it's rated up to 350 pounds, I think,...

If I missed the posting somewhere... sorry for adding (or missing) the topic thread... Small steps (now that I'm out of "Phase I") on South Beach. But 307 to 306 is one less pound to worry about this week... and I'm sleeping pretty soundly, not getting up more than once during the night, and have ma...

Yesterday was incredibly busy... but I did get on the scale. 308.2 yesterday morning, and 307.4 today. From my start at 322.2, I am happy as a clam !

So, since 1/1/06 I'm dow...

Folks, your advice has really helped calm me down and to realize the wisdom of my brother-in-law's comment (he's used CPAP for 16 years): keep trying masks until you find the one that works for you...
