I do remember Susan Powter. What a character. I used couple of her videos back in the day. Her pep talks were motivating! I looked her up online the other day, and I think she's still around.
Like you, I had success in earlier decades with the low-cal/low-fat/hours of aerobics method. Lost 50lbs one year and ended up as the "how I did it" article in Fitness Magazine, thanks to a writer friend. The exercise habit stuck. Dietary approach took a new direction.
The argument continues as to whether one can be "fat and fit." Also, we read about folks who are "skinny fat"--not fat but not healthy either. Each of us--Oprah included--is an experiment of one, a work in progress until we turn to dust. For me, like Oprah, it's important not to give up. We just have different kinds of resources to invest in the process.
