Another important factor in weightloss is sleep. Several studies have shown that chronic insomniacs don't burn calories at a much slower rate. I've been an insomniac my whole life(mom says I only slept 4 hours a day from the very beginning), so I'm not surprised to discover this info.

I scanned some of the articles and ads from the Physical Cuture magazine and have posted them on my flickr

There are some interesting articles on the Modern Girl, a 50/50 marriage, Sunshine, Women and Nerves and others

Texasgirl - I love how in the second ad it looks like those 5 pounds only went to one place. The two different girls are just as skinny as the other, but the one on the right has bigger boobs!

I was thinking the same thing. How funny that the malt only makes you gain boob weight!

Exactly what I thought. My husband would totally approve of that purchase!

Me too. I can always remember my mom fighting with me to get me to go to sleep, I have school in the morning blah blah blah....I used to think I was a "night person" until I got older and realized it was a form of insomnia.
