Hi!

In February of 1996 I decided to become healthy since I had gained a lot
of weight over the previous 10 years. I researched (which is what I am
good at) diet plans and discovered that a diet plan wouldn't work for
me...only a change in life style would.

I have lost, slowly and without any deprivation, a little over 100
pounds since then. I have about 50 yet to go.

Part of my research was fitness and talked about the loss of muscle as
we age and, in response to that, I started doing aerobic weight training
at home with videos from The Firm. They guarantee visible results
within 10 workouts...it only took me 7. They are excellent.

I am able to breathe more deeply and can support my breath longer when I
sing now. But I can't tell you if that came from the weight loss, the
exercise or simply the confidence that losing weight creates. :-)
