Little of both, I think. Staying fit at our age takes work and many folks either can't or won't make the time to do it. My epiphany hit when I turned 58. I stepped on the bathroom scale and it nearly hit 290lbs. I was stunned. I knew I had been gaining, but I didn't realize it was that bad. I thought in 2 years I'd be 60 and over 300, and then I'd be in deep shit. So I bought a bike and started riding. Mr Tonka and some of the other guys in the road biking thread gave me some much needed advice and encouragement when I was starting out and I'm forever grateful to them for that. Now I'm at 220lbs. I was down to 205, but I've been less strict with my diet the last year or so and I've crept back up. Still, at 6'3" it doesn't look bad. I still want to buckle down again and try to get to my military weight of 190. Just need to get motivated.
