. That was the beginning of my weight gain. I was less active and spoiled, I was eating Banana Splits quite regular. I had gotten up to approx 120 lbs (if I were only there now). My first diet was a grapefruit diet. I lost a few pounds only to gain them back plus a couple more. Approx. 1984 I had gotten up to about 150 pounds. I joined weight watchers with a friend we walked 45 minutes almost daily. I was loosing, then the walks fadded and I quit weight watchers and the few pounds I lost creped right back. 1985 I was approx 160 lbs I joined a gym I lost and few pounds. My mother passed
