    Stick with what you are doing. It will take awhile to lose the weight, but you will feel so much better and will be able to lead a full life!
    Put more into your 401k, Social Security is gone...lol!

    Be your best every day in everything you do. In the end, you want to minimize the "would have, should have, could haves".

    Toby Keith says it well: "If you're trying, you ain't"

    The right thing to do is always the right thing to do.

    Advertising in all forms is a lie designed to part you and your money.

    Think for yourself, no one else has your best interests in mind.

    I would tell my 40yo self:

    Run while you can run.

    You think you're past your youth? Think again !!

    Get out and enjoy life !! Stop worrying about what people think !!

    Don't be afraid to follow your dreams !!

    Keep taking care of your body, and don't give up.

    Love those around you, live selflessly, be generous,
