Anymore insight on any of my questions? Does anyone have anything to add to the replies so far?

As for gym memberships, that's out because of the cost. I don't have reliable transportation to get to the gyms in my area anyway. As for those diet programs, that's another story. I have other medical concerns that also need to be addressed. Based on what I read about them, I don't think they could help me much. If they could, it would cost me too much to use them. It looks like my best choice is my own customized diet plan and a Total GymŪ 26000.

Does anyone else have anything to add?
