i'm a 65 year old man with a pot belly.  i'm not obese but i'd like a flatter tummy.  i have type 2 diabetes which i'd like to control via lifetsyle rather than medication.  that requires daily exercise.  i also hae some lower back pain which would improve if the gut were gone.  so for appearance and for health, i need to work on this, and i hope this web site will help me with a program.

Goals:
just to lose 8 pounds, to 150, and to get rid of the pot belly.

Interests:
canoeing. my grown daughter who lives 2500 miles away. a woman close to home (who, at age 59, has a great figure, so i need to somewhat measureup, too).
