Counting calories is all new to me. Losing weight USE to not be that hard. Just eating lots of meat and drinking a little grapefruit juice after each meal even worked. But now that I am retired and 76 it's really hard to not gain weight. Last year I had major surgery and lost 30 lbs. Have gained back at least 20 lbs and want to lose that.
My wife and I joined Silver Sneaker because she told me that all the little kids in the swim classes were learning to swim but she felt like she was learning nothing. I said: "Let's you and I go swimming every day and I think you will learn faster." Now Bettyann swims 25 laps 5 days a week and I am only doing about 18 laps per day. (That makes her my hero.) I do some weight machines twice a week to help improve my strength.
Happy Father's Day, wildredbill
