The need for many seniors to lose weight and shape up has been in the news lately. In one story, a doctor doubts “whether you’re going to see people lose 50 to 100 pounds as they’re older.” Oh, really? This senior has lost 70 pounds since first waddling into Jim White Fitness & Nutrition Studios — with borderline diabetes — less than a year ago

It hasn’t always been easy. I remember announcing at our first nutrition consult: “I won’t drink anything green!” Wrong again. The JWFNS Kale Smoothie is now one of my favorites. Jim managed to change my eating habits so I don’t miss the bad old stuff; and we keep tweaking the plan so it’s something I can live with permanently. Meanwhile, my Fitness Coach provides the “sweat equity” to anchor my workout routine. Thanks guys!
