Unlike my parents and grandparents who lived active rural lives, much of it outdoors, my Architectural profession involved mostly office work, with minimal physical activity other than commuting. As a result, my weight gain began in my 30's when I weighed 150 pounds (and could eat anything and as much as I wanted), and I steadily added weight to as much as 215 pounds 30 years later. When I met my wife three years ago, I managed to lose weight down to 195 going to gym three times a week, but after we got married, I started to gain it back.

So we bought a treadmill for ourselves and Marylee found this website. The combination of exercise and knowing exactly the implications of what you eat is a great incentive to change one's life style and bad habits. So far it has worked beautifully.
