I remember when the Atkins diet arrived; I lost 16 lb in the first month, but when I stopped, it all went back on again.

I'd be happy to live till 80 as long as I was comfortable and in good health. Mind you, ask me again on the eve of my 80th birthday. Even so, I hope we don't all start living to be 120. I'm not sure I'd cope with another 60 years.
