People who exercise mainly to lose weight are rolling the dice, according to a new study cited in Well, the New York Times health blog. It may work. Or, it may not work. Well reports that research conducted at the University of Leeds in Britain observed 35 overweight men and women who took part in supervised
exercise designed to burn 500 calories a day on treadmills, bikes and
rowing machines. By the end of the 12-week study, some exercisers had
lost a staggering 32 pounds. But five of them actually had gained
weight  as much as four pounds. Most volunteers fell somewhere in the middle, losing only a few
pounds despite the regimen.
Health, fitness and lifestyle tips for people over 50 who still like to play hard

A 12 week study program is an indicator and a move to a change in lifestyle. After 50 years on my self styled program,I’ve made many changes with my emphasis on the acronym “dears”. The letter “d” meaning diet, “e” for exercise, “a” for attitude, “r” for rest, and “s” for styling or customizing your new lifestyle. Life is a constant struggle between your urges and self control. Start by tricking your urges by reducing diet portions on smaller dishes. Losing 32 lbs is a great start and a lifestyle incentive to yourself that you can be the person and example you want to be. A little effort is better than nothing at all!
