"Once upon a time I only went to restaurants that served the largest portions of meats. One of my favorites was a place that offered the Captains Cut of Prime Rib. Under the description of the portion it read "YOU WILL BE EMBARRASSED" when it's served."

Steve, Archie's ?

Archies! I figured you'd know it. I miss that place.

Only got there a few times and then it was gone ...

Fortunately I’m not overweight, but I do luv home made bread and cakes. My downfall. Should have eaten more vege’s. Yuk. Haha

Might as well chime in here. I'm 76, weigh around 240lb (been around that since 17 or 18 years old). The only exercise I get is schlepping the gear in and out of gigs, and I eat all the wrong stuff.

To top that, all my relatives on my mother's side of the family, whom I follow genetically, all lived into their nineties and died in their sleep.

Lady Luck on my side? Jeez, I sure hope so.

Something happened this evening that makes this not funny. I'm starting rehab asap, even if I have to pay for it. Probably the cardiologist will put me in it though.
It's not so much the weight, although I could stand to lose some, it's the lack of strength in my legs.
You remember that commercial that said "I've fallen and I can't get up?" Happened to me today. Nothing serious, family helped me up, but it was an eye-opener.

Best wishes, Don ...
God Bless

All the best to you, Don. Be well.

All the best Don. You haven’t started any new medication recently? My doctor didn’t mention the side effects my new pills might have, wish I’d asked a few more questions, as there were alternatives for my situation. Took about 2 months before the side effects kicked in.

Haven't started any new ones, but I had to get off one about three months ago because the side effects were so bad. Didn't really need it anyway.
Thanks!
