I'll play along. 53 years old, sedentary job and lifestyle for the most part. 5'-11", 230 lbs, fairly easily winded for anything greater than climbing some stairs. I've dropped about 10 lbs last year and my doctor encourages more of the same.

I've always been pretty strong. People often asked if I worked out (I did not). That's way back when though, but I'd like to get back to that weight and condition again.

I'd be ecstatic to be the same weight I was at 24; 180 or so. My conditioning would probably be better though 'cause I no longer smoke. Better on my knees, better for my health, better example for my kids and grandkids.

Looking at this exercise bike from Amazon - gets pretty good reviews and the price is right. That will start the exercise bit, but weight training needs to get in there somehow too.

I've dropped the weight over the last year primarily due to portion control. No seconds, eat in moderation - nothing dramatic.
