I'm a sixty-eight year old male, retired Marine Corps helicopter pilot. I became a lawyer after leaving the Corps and have been slowly putting on weight ever since. Spending my days commuting and sitting on my butt behind a desk definitely has not been good for me in terms of my fitness. I've gone on diets a couple of times in the last few years, but usually fall off them after losing a few pounds.

I've come to fat secret because I think that maybe if I'm making a public display of my effort to get rid of the weight this time, and work at it with others doing the same, I'll finally get rid of the weight this time. As a side benefit, I might be able to help someone else do the same. Any help will be gratefully appreciated and graciously accepted.
