    I am 68 and choose to weigh a little more now than I did in my prime. (emphasizing the words, "a little") It's a vanity issue. Just about the time I think I'm looking my best from the neck down, I glance in the mirror and see an old lady peering back at me. I look gaunt now at the weight I maintained up until the time I was 50.

    I'm sure that you can go to other doctors and get a "second opinion" and you'll likely find one that says you should be 110. Doctors aren't the always the best contact for health advice. They treat illness, they rarely promote wellness.

    Again, my opinion only.


    So agree with this! I am going to work out hard and keep my calories lower to lose the weight! I did feel great at 123 pounds, the great thing about losing is you feel so great the entire way down! Gaining it never felt good! I plan on redoing my weight lift routine yest again. I am a personal trainer and love to switch things up!

    Love the comment about an old lady staring back at you! I had a friend tell me about looking across the table at her husband and realizing they "were two old faces stuck looking at each other". Just cracked her up. I personally think with a few extra pounds my FACE looks better.
