I have struggled with my weight all my adult life, and when you would look up the term "yo-yo" dieting, my picture appeared. A little over 2 years ago I realized it had become difficult for me to get up out of a chair without pushing off with my arms. Climbing a hill on the way back to the truck after a deer hunt and the shortness of breath that ensued convinced me I had to do something. It dawned on me that I couldn't carry around as much excess weight as I did when I was 40 and still be able to do the things I love, mainly chase turkeys. I have a mowing business, so during the mowing season, I remain active, but during the winters, I was a total couch potato. I started riding my exercise bike or walking on the treadmill at least 5 or 6 hours a week, and have lost about 40 pounds, 50 from my all time high weight a few years ago. It is still a struggle, and I hope to eventually lose another 15 to 20 pounds, and, hopefully, maintain that weight the rest of my life. Although one can't totally eliminate the effects of aging, I can actually get around better in the woods than I could 20 years ago.
