Just thought Id add that I think alot of people dont realize how difficult losing weight can be. I know I didnt. Its never really been an issue with me but last year when I couldnt do any exercise for 6 months because of my back injury I gained about 20 pounds. I had a heck of a time losing it and getting back in shape. Definately experienced a paradigm shift lol Needless to say, its alot harder when youre over 40 and your metabolism changes! Now I know, if I drop the ball, I'll put on pounds and it will be a struggle to lose them.
