I forgot to add about the exercising. I was heavily into bodybuilding about 10 years ago and still retain alot of that muscle. Most people believe I'm about 40lbs lighter because of the muscle tone.

My regular routine now though is walking, water aerobics and my healthrider. I exercise just about everyday. I'm more focused on burning fat and maintaining the muscle. I love all three of those exerises so it makes it easy. Plus my vocal training requires physical stamina and good breathing techniques. After an hour rehearsal I feel like I've run around a block a few times. Looking forward to better breathing with some of this weight coming off my chest and diaphram. When I sit during choir practice I feel as though my air is cut off due to a nice roll I have around my lower ab area.
