    Hi, OP.  I don’t post much.  
    I pretty much agree with the posts above.  The main question is how rapidly should one lose weight, and how to maintain muscle mass while losing weight.  
    Maintain good communication with your trainer, and at 45 y/o get an annual physical exam.
    Once you stabilize at your desired fitness level, you can talk to a plastic surgeon if wrinkles and sagging skin are a problem.  The skin might naturally tighten, depending on genetics, etc.

    I purchased a Patek Philippe in 1996 for $7792–just checked.  Rose gold.  It’s difficult to imagine the circumstances in which I would spend $2.5M.

    HPV can be spread thru oral sex.  Tired to copy a link, but still unsuccessful.

    Start now with some good life habits, so you’ll avoid looking bad later.  For ex, hire a personal trainer.  Eat right.  If you’re worried about hair loss, acti now to prevent (further) lass.  Control your alcohol intake.

    Gary reacted to + Vegas_Millennial in Income to hire regularly   
    I like to follow and recommend the 50/30/20 rule for working folks.  50% of net income goes to needs, 30% of net income goes to wants, and 20% of net income goes to savings/investing.
    Right now I spend 25% of my net income on leisure travel (a want), so that only leaves 5% for all other entertainment.
  10. Thanks

    I did a casual google search for what percent of income can one allow for entertainment.
     
    Up to to 10% of net income for all entertainment came up multiple times.  For a $1000 allotment for entertainment per month, that’s from a net yearly income of $120,000.  I’d be inclined to halve the allotment to $500 per month in order to allow for other entertainment, with the understanding that this hobby is being prioritized.
    These calculations at least provide a starting point.

    Michael Douglas appears in "Family Guy Viewer Mail No. 1" at a Hollywood party with wife Catherine Zeta-Jones.  In "Baby, It's Cold Inside", a cutaway gag shows Michael at a dinner party offering to tell the guests how he got mouth cancer, resulting in Catherine Zeta-Jones storming away.

    A friend objected to the movie Robin Hood, PoT as well.  In a later scene, which you didn't see, there's an attempted rape and it's played for comedy. 
    But I'll watch anything with Alan Rickman, even Closet Land.  Such a sexy guy.

    Possible new topic:  Movies/Plays you sought a refund for.  That would be Punch Drunk Love for me. (Hey!  I just remembered another movie I walked out of!)  I saw it with one of the friends who walked out of JRB, and the first ten minutes were so abysmal that we left and actually got a refund because it was so early in the movie.

    Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves, starring Kevin Costner.  An early scene depicted the amputation of a man’s hand in a moorish prison.  I considered the scene gratuitous violence, and found it offensive.  I left, filling out a form asking for a refund of the ticket price.

    Gary got a reaction from SirBillybob in How long between Sessions?   
    Interesting question, how long between sessions.  One idea:  once a week for an hour each time.  $250/$300 x 50 = $12,500/$15,000 annually.  A possible variant could be every other week.  3 hr (block) week 1 and 1 hr week 3—with weeks 2&4 off.  As a comparison, I used an athletic trainer three times a week, $100 per session, for 2-3 years.
