Trish, yes, you will be much more active than you are at home. But then you will be so busy you won't have time to cook, and there are so many nice restaurants here & the neighbors have potlucks & driveway parties, and a trip to the square always seems to include a drink or 2 or an ice cream cone...

I've heard that the Villages' Freshman 15 is real. I personally experienced the Freshman 10. When I had to buy a stretchy belt from the belt guy at the square I realized I had to take control. Now I have a predetermined number on my scale, and when I start to approach that number I stop eating.

Everybody is different, and I am sure there are 2 or 3 people who moved here who never gained an ounce!
