What a wonderful post, Jim. Just today, I started my "shrink it down" diet. I'm a procratinator and a yo-yo dieter, so I just sort of held off through the holidays and started today. I'm not following anything in particular, but will just keep the calories as low as possible, probably under 800/day. Fortunately, I'm proficient at losing 10 pounds - - but but getting beyond that and keeping it off is a whole other story! I'm looking forward to "looking" better, but that's just a sife effect. As you said, the aches and pains kick up at a certain age. I'm only 46, but feel 80. I'm looking forward to being able to stoop over and pick up my grandbabies without pain someday! Thanks, and I'm looking forward to being your pen pal!
