I am a 79 year old retired scientist (retired 23 years) living the good life in south west Florida with my amazing wife of 58 years. Got a little heavy over the years (I guess too many good time parties, too many restaurants and not enough exercise). Became pre-diabetic, had high cholesterol, and started having trouble walking. Being overweight crept up on me and started to steal my health. So, now it's time to shape up, get rid of the excess fat and hopefully get a few more miles out of this O'l body. After 7 months of careful diet I reached my goal of 170 pounds. Now I just have to maintain my weight. Life is good.
