via Harvard Study – Why I’m Eating More Yogurt.

A little over three months ago I attended a wedding. When the pictures from a number of sources started showing up I noticed something that disturbed me.

“Who is that old fat guy?”

It was time to get serious, again. The last time I got serious the scales tipped over 370 pounds. I say “over” because I stopped weighing myself when the scale hit 370. I was twenty years old. So I got serious and lost over 200 pounds. After nine months of employing strict lifestyle changes I got down to 163.

Pictures don’t lie (unless they were Photoshopped). I needed to drop a few pounds.

At weigh-in this morning the scale showed 187. I’m 13 pounds lighter than I was at the wedding.

Must be the yogurt.

Need. More. Steps.

Walking is the most preferred PA mode for older adults [4] and increasing daily step count may reduce the presence of frailty. Observational research finds a dose-response relationship with higher daily step counts associated with lower frailty prevalence [5]. This relationship persists even among those with very low step counts (less than 3,000 per day) […]
