You guys are scaring me know. My only consolation is that my mom lost weight from her mid 40's to mid 70's. She's more active now than she was in her 40's. Her second husband is more than 10 years younger than her; so I guess that's why she tries to keep young.

Dont be scared. I guess it just means that we have to make sure to take more time out for physical activity and tighten up our eating as we get older. Its not an automatic thing that you will gain weight, but your diet/exercise program may need adjusting to prevent/lessen it. smilewinkgrin I like to consider myself sassy and seasoned wink

I made the first leap to getting into shape. I decided to start walking on our treadmill - I can only go about a half a mile before my legs feel like rubber lol. But my hubby has some soft foam padded dumbells downstairs - 1lb'ers I think. And my fingers seem to do ok with those so I use them when I am walking. I should be getting that DVD soon - I am actually looking forward to it!

Once you start excercising on a regular basis you'll realize how good it feels. I had been slacking since last June because my knee was so damaged, but now I'm back into the swing of things and the more I do the better I feel!

I have taken a water aerobics class here a few times and I love it.

I used to hate exercising too, but now that I do it regularly I like it and, usually even look forward to it.
