The question that keeps popping into my head is, "What if I never get lean?"
Well, what if you don't?

However to give you some hope, at 60 years old I lost 50 pounds and have kept 45 of them at bay. For vanity to be sure, but mostly for health. When your breathing becomes labored going DOWN the stairs, when your doctor explains your risk for diabetes and heart disease--you'll know it's time to get serious!

The downside? Kilts didn't fit anymore. But most of them were X-Kilts, so not such a big inve$tment.
