Glad to hear this, T-Al. I listen to a great podcast called Fitness Rocks, by Dr. Monty Ladner, and he has a great saying--if the wonderful health effect you get from regular exercise was a pill, everyone in America would be taking it!
The book is great, and highly recommended. I was fine reading the "man version".

Thanks for the info on "Younger Next Year for Women." I bought a copy on Amazon Marketplace, then decided to buy the journal too. Sounds like exactly what I need.

Like Oldbabe I have just purchased a copy of the women's version and the journal. I have to do something as my weight is continuing to climb and my BMI is off the charts.

DH & I have both just finished reading this book and have to say we found it very informative. We plan on implementing his recommendations now so will hopefully have a positive update like Al's in six months.

I know I have been under exercising and I think I need to crank up my effort levels as well.

I think the trick for me was finding something that I liked and was not boring . I now do 20 minutes of cardio , 20 minutes of weight lifting and an hour water aerobic class . The cardio and weight lifting are boring but the water aerobics is a blast and I really enjoy it . I feel great most of the time .
