cclaus- Had to laugh when I read your post because I could have written it myself. Never had a real weight issue until 40-45 and yes, it's 10-15 lbs. and for the first time in my life, I have a little belly. I decided to lose 15 lbs. and am happy to report that 5 lbs. are already gone. Hope to lose the remaining 10 by March 15. I do agree that the mid section weight gain is age related but I intend to fight it all the way! This site has been a tremendous help in letting me know what I am doing right (and wrong).
