I'm 65 now and I've battled a weight problem for nearly 50 years. For a long time I was a yoyo dieter, anywhere from 185-275 lbs. I found out I have Inclusion Body Myocitis, a type of Muscular Dystrophy that shows up around age 50. I'm confined to a wheel chair now, but try to stay busy.

Glad you enjoyed my blog Tom. Have you ever been to Australia? I notice you are in Las Vegas team. Is it where you live now? I'll be spending 3 days there at the end of our tour on October 3 and am meeting 2 emoticon from Arizona and New Mexico. It's gonna be fun to meet all my American SP friends, some in NYC and Chicago too! emoticon
