Thank you all for commenting. John, your book has been very helpful and I am glad I could recommend it. Doreen, you can do it! It is never too late to get our bodies back into health. For Sharon and Karen...keep up the good work. It is well worth it! I am always inspired by others who are doing what works for them with diet and exercise. There are many ways!

I can see a future post that gives more details about your exercise regime and the ups, downs and experiments you tried along the way. I think your readers would enjoy some specifics. I know I would.

I believe you are referring to the beginning of my article when I write about "yield to who we really are." when you speak of surrender. It is the surrender to the authentic Self that brings about the regenerative movement that James is referring to. It is this movement that we seek to foster in our 3rd Act workshops and coaching. Perry,

I've wanted to reclaim my body and a better attitude towards health for some years. I've always exercised some, but not enough in recent years. About 9 months ago I started to turn the corner and lost about 9 pounds by simply eating better and by giving up my 2 glasses of wine a day habit. Then I discovered the book, "Younger Next Year," and it has really inspired both my husband and me. We've been exercising six days a week for about five months and following our own plan of counting calories. I'm not talking about stringent, feeling-hungry calorie counting, but a reasonable 1800 calorie a day plan. We've both lost over twenty pounds on this regime (over 30 total for each of us since last summer) and are feeling great. I think we'll be able to stick with it because it is reasonable and easily do-able and we're thinking of health as a "life plan," not something we're going to abandon when we're at our goal weights. I have another 12 pounds to go before I am back to my normal adult weight (last seen when I was a slim 40-ish.) I am turning 57 in September and I am feeling better than I have in years. My 81 year old dad is an inspiration in the health department as he lifts weight three days a week and rides his bike in the hills of Auburn, CA. Another 83 year old friend still hikes in the East Bay Hills.
