Yes. 40 pounds is really not that much. I keep telling myself that. But it's true. I mean if at your ideal weight you looked really good, then 40 pounds, some of it going to the right areas, doesn't change your basic shape. At least, it didn't change mine. So I went up 2 sizes. That is like a 2 inch difference in the width of the clothes.

But what I was thinking today as I did my exercises in the pool, is are there women who are charming and beautiful in the 60's? And of course there are. So if woman can still be very attractive in their 60's, being a few years shy of that can't be too unattractive.
