I am 42yrs old and currently living n Florida, I have been puttng weight on over the last few years, I guess due to getting older and working the night shift. I am single again so in May of 09 I decided to loose the extra pounds so I could wear a bathing suit again without being embarrassed. I gave up the cokes, and replaced a meal with a slimfast shake and took up bike riding which has done it for me, I am now at a comfortable weight, and happy I got to this point. Would like to tone up some so that is my next task to accomplish.
