the fat that piles up. if my clothes don't fit properly, off i go. But honestly, i am at the gym 4 times per week regardless
@akindheart The only place the fat piles up on me, is on my belly. Lately, from all my sitting and texting on SW, my belly has gotten so fat, that it's been uncomfortable. It's felt better since I started exercising and being more careful with my diet, but I've still got a long way to go. I'm intent on continuing. But with my food addiction, it's not easy. I need [i][b]something[/b][/i] in my life that's satisfying. I just need more discipline.

@PhoenixPhail my weight is a problem due to age. i stopped all fast food and i work out 4 times per week but i still struggle. hang in there. you have to find the right exercise.I do yoga, 2 weight classes and one aerobic
@akindheart Those certainly sound as though they would help a lot. My joints aren't stable enough to do any calisthenic exercises, so I've been hitting the treadmill or taking walks around the block. There are some rather steep hills here, so I'm getting some aerobic work in, as well. Between that and watching my diet, I think it's working, if very slowly. At least my shirts don't feel so tight around my middle. lol
