Best wishes to everyone here. I am a 75-year-old grandma who has COPD (mild), glaucoma, and mild macular degeneration. I'm also 30 lb overweight. There! I have fully confessed.

A couple of months ago I began experiencing difficulty walking short distances without feeling as though I were actually carrying my two-year-old grandchild in my arms. Getting out of the car to go to the grocery store, the first thing I look for is a cart so I can have something to partly support my upper body. If I don't, right away I am leaning over at the waist. I'm working on the fat problem by eating healthfully (but no meat) after years of carelessness, and have yet to go back to my line-dance exercise video. I'm hoping my Tuesday appointment at the pulmonologist's office will shed some light.

Is it just the overweight? I used to weigh this much and yet be fully energized all day, But now I would rather sit than walk,
