Question

Stan is now 59 years old, semiretired, and lives with his wife in a midtown apartment complex. Stan was diagnosed with metabolic syndrome 10 years ago, and he has since gained 15 pounds. He attributes his weight gain to lazy afternoons in front of the television and frequent suppers at a local buffet restaurant. Though he plans to take his wife ballroom dancing on the evening of their wedding anniversary, Stan fears he will be out of shape and uncomfortable in the tight confines of his old suit.
