I was so happy to find this article this morning. It gives a more balanced view of the problem and explains why the NYT article is so misleading. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/05/05/why-the-weight-loss-study-everyone-has-been-sharing-is-kind-of-misleading/
In the past few days I have come across these 2 articles that I found pretty inspirational. Especially as we get older we wonder if we've still "got it". http://www.greatfallstribune.com/story/life/my-montana/2015/03/25/still-kickin-year-old-swims-wins-usms-meet/70400890/…
