It's always tough to lose weight, especially given the lower metabolic rate that naturally occurs at your advanced age.

I figure walking up Machu Pichu accounts for 10 pounds lost. How's he going to replicate that while sitting on his fat ass (just an expression as I understand that it is shrinking...) reading and posting on SI all day.

Stan,

especially given the lower metabolic rate that naturally occurs at your advanced age.

I assume you're basing that on your personal experience. My understanding is that the exercise that goes with the increasing sex life keeps the metabollic rate at higher levels. Try it. You might like it, assuming you're up to the task.
