I am a retired 50 year old with some spine issues that keep me from exercising anymore. My weight started to accelerate beyond my stretch dress slacks and I had visions of a tall, fat, jolly old man that was making me fill not so jolly anymore. The only diet I have tried before was Weight Watchers. This was to trim down before my surgeries. The plan was very successful. So here I am again, fatter than ever LOL. Good luck to all.
