I am a 63 year old married male who has always lived with a weight problem. I didn't pay any attention to warnings from doctors when they said that I would someday need joint replacements if I didn't get this weight off. I ignored their warnings and so now I am sporting 2 new knees and a 5 year old hip replacement.

I want to be able to function and enjoy my life which includes many activities and travel. I don't want to be anchored down by 150 extra pounds! Further, when I die I don't want to go out of this world in a "Double Wide".
