However, I do go to the YMCA three times a week for a class I take there. Somehow it is easier to exercise when doing it with others.<BR/><BR/>Loosing weight is just a matter of burning up more calories than you are adding by eating. I guess one could do that by going on a 30-day fast but I think there are other health benefits to exercising that just cutting back on the food intake won't give you. Plus I've met some neat people there, including two in my class who are over age 92. And they are still exercising three times a week!Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12381970360203140143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306964.post-73782096580555218322007-11-14T16:21:00.000-08:002007-11-14T16:21:00.000-08:00If we never had our "yes, buts", I figure we would...If we never had our "yes, buts", I figure we would have each conquered the world by now.
