I love the idea of having a separate forum for us. I think the dilemma is that much of the information would be the same as for those with less to lose. Yes we do have some unique circumstances, but so does everyone else (age, height, etc.) But I'd still like it.

Recently I bought work out shirts to wear when I exercise. It's funny, but just putting on the "uniform" makes me feel better and really get more into it. And I really just work out in my living room, by myself. If you haven't tried it, it's definitely worth it.

The biggest issue I have with working out is finding that magical balance of doing enough resistance training to build the muscles some, still do enough cardio to lose the fat, and have the scale continue to move down. I think that's something we all have to work out for ourselves, but it would sure be nice to have a realistic guideline as a starting point. <sigh>
