My goals for July are: - Live a more active life and retire my TIVO subscription. - Get back to my normal weight (10 more lbs to go). - Strengthen my core. -…

Thanks for the advice! In a year and a half I gained nearly 20 lbs. My diet didn't change all that much but my metabolism sure did. And you are right about the belly fat! I never had that problem until now. I am trying to start long hikes with my husband as well as lifting weights to gain some core strength. I wish these…

You might find this article interesting. Basically take more of an interest in how food is prepared. For example, instead of friend potatoes, how about tossing them in a little olive oil and herbs and baking them? http://suite101.com/article/cooking-southern-but-healthy-a34773 I've been reading Fitness and Shape magazines…

Not to be grim, but just wait til menopause kicks in and you have health issues that don't allow you to be active enough to keep your weight in check. Lose the weight now and learn how to eat. It will really pay off!!!!!
