Karl is right on all of this. The choice to live a healthier lifestyle and to lose the excess weight we have accumulated is easy. Actually doing those things is more difficult, especially at the beginning...but anybody CAN do it...they just choose not to.
Before I got sick again (early November) I weighed 170. Now, with two months of sitting on my ass (coughing all the time) I am back to 190ish (194 last evening) but I am not at all concerned. I know exactly how to remove the 20# of excess RJazz: Quit eating refined carbs, and start exercising again. It really is that simple.

It's amazing how many people are ashamed of their body. It's even more amazing how many people aren't ashamed of their brains.
