I am 60 years old, from Milw, WI but live in the deep south now since 1983. I own and operate a medical case mgmnt and vocational rehabilitation consulting company. I am a professional person and that involves a lot of sitting while doing things such as having meetings, talking on the phone and writing reports.I am also in the dissertation phase of a PhD in health psychology and that also requires a lot of sitting while researching and writing. I had hip replacement surgery this past June, 2011 and now I can be more active. I lost approximately 50 pounds from July 2010 to the date of my surgery. I was down to 294 pounds but that has recently been creeping up again. I am back on track with my diet and I intend to get down to 250 pounds as the first goal.
