What is Evista, Crankin?

Just on the variety of physical activity, you're more active regularily than I. I don't jog. I agree it requires for me ..I dunno ..maybe a wk. or much LONGER to get rid of 2-3 extra lbs. with sustained daily exercise and mindful eating.

Well, I'm not observing the simple golden rule of long-term, undesired weight gain. I seem to have at least 1 biscotti every morning. That's approx. 100 calories..all adds up over several years. In case people think this is paranoia, well just allow yourself to gain 2-3 lbs. annually. After a decade, that really adds up!

A person cannot shut themselves off reasonable restaurant meals here and there, for 1 whole year. Just unrealistic. So we have to make dietary adjustments on the fly, every week, month and every year of our lives...for as long as we live. Thank goodness, we discovered our long-term love of cycling. I can't imagine engaging in a sport/exercise that one dislikes just to maintain healthy weight.

Redhodie: Never in my life I have ever made a conscious effort to gain weight. I just gained weight by not paying attention to what I was eating.
