My 67 year old dad is hospitalized right now due to congestive heart failure. Sadly he's also been a 100# overweight for most of my life (I'm 41), essentially put on the weight after he quit smoking. Ironic, huh? Trade one heart killer (cigarettes) for another (obesity). I'm carrying a good 30 lbs more than would be ideal for my age, height and build, and my dad's problems have been a big wake up call for me, too.
