Then I hit the plateau and for the last year I haven't lost or gained a pound. Last spring I added three hours of tennis a week and still no change in weight. <br /><br />My body tone is great in my legs and arms.

I'm in better shape now than when I was in my thirties, but I love to eat - I love gooey stuff and I love salty stuff. Any advice on a good diet for my age? Thanks for all the information.
