This is how I kept my weight under control until I got married when I was 39. I weighed about 210 then. Now I am 57 and I weighed 275 before I started this diet. I am only 5'10". When I weighed 210 it wasn't that bad because I was fairly muscular. When I weighed 275 it was mostly fat.
The problem is that I have bad knees, so that really limits running and biking. For a while I lifted weights as cardio training. Most people don't realize that weight training can be great cardio if you work fast and keep your heart rate up. But I also have screwed up shoulders so that even limited my weightlifting as I got older.
I developed terrible eating habits when I was growing up. I played football through my freshman year in college and I was eating to TRY AND GAIN WEIGHT. I was so active back then that I had trouble adding weight. Seems unbelievable now.
