Bad news for plump baby boomers: One of the biggest studies yet on the link between excess weight and premature death finds that being even just moderately overweight in middle age can slightly raise the risk of premature death. The new study contradicts other recent research that had suggested that a little extra fat could act as a protective cushion.

Well based on this article i imagine i have to buckle down and get this last 10 lbs off.

IF i take the last 10 lbs off, I would be completely out of the moderately
obesite category. PERHAPS if i cant get it off i might have to consider the plastics to help get me in that normal range.

SO time to get that little extra cushion off!!!!!!
TIME TO obsess on protein again and rid those evil carbs!!!!
