Hello my friend! Even though I can't relate, thanks for the well written and honest post. There are certain aspects of diet and exercise that I have had to undertake in my 60s (67 now) but I have maintained my weight of 185 for a year coming down from 215, reduced cholesterol from 205 to 175 and have beaten diabetes (A1C from 7.2 to 5.3). My only supplement, Metamucil.
