I think after 20 years of yo yo dieting it was time for more control. Gravity is h*ll and when you're overweight you really have the aging wrinkles sooner. I don't feel like the person I look like at all. We have a beach condo and I want to be one of the ones who doesn't have to cover up just to walk down the beach comfortably. I think what really did it for me is I am developing the "jowls" on my face. Not really that bad, but there are distinct wrinkles at both sides of my chin where the fat is pulling my face down. No More for me, See you, Lynna, in TJ Mon. morning! Can't wait. Maybe we can do a few laps together!!! =D>
