I could lose A LOT! 75 lbs to get where I was as a teenager ( fat chance- and I mean the pun!) or 50+ to be more reasonable for a 50 year old woman who is never going to be athletic. I'm going to start working out at the same place I have to take my mother 2x week anyway for her physical therapy, so I might as well do something while I'm waiting for an hour. And if I'm going to pay my money and do all that work, I'm going to want to diet also. Plus, I'm SICK of being fat. I refuse to be this person! And here's the real incentive. Alzheimer's runs in my family very strongly -- great-grandmother, grandfather and mother. I read that eating fish and exercising 2x a week each reduces the chance up to 60%. It's sure worth the effort! And last of all, my husband and I have changed almost everything in our lives over the past 2 years. We are completely new together; I want a new body to go with the new me -- and I don't want to lose my mind just when we're SO happy! So if you start or find a group, count me in!
