    I found your thread Marie. I need to read the posts and catch up. I'm in my 60's but seem to have a number of what my doctor calls *age-related* problems. One of the most annoying ones is arthritis----especially in my hands. I drop everything, my hands are weak, they ache, can't stand getting my hands cold!! Argh! Anyone else??

    Hi Marie, I found your new thread and will post here sometimes.

    To everyone else, I've been participating in MFP for a long time and love it....it helped me reinvent my life. I get my exercise from line dancing , riding my recumbent exercise bike, and walking my two standard poodles.

    It's never too late to make big changes in your life.

    The reason most people fail instead of succeed is that they trade what they want the MOST for what they want at the MOMENT.

    My word for 2014 is “mindful”

    Hello Marie & everybody, I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question but here goes anyway. Last April I was a larger me with very thick hair and joint problems. Well now I'm a smaller me with virtually no joint problems BUT the hair, well I'm really losing it, it's going quite thin. Question, now I'm on maintenance and eating a few more calories will I stop losing hair or am I doomed? I've just had to smile, I must have chosen my MFP name subconsciously! Anybody else with this problem? Blueharebell.

    Your diary isn't public, so I don't know what you're eating, but there could be some link between what you eat and thinning hair. I know someone who talked to her doctor about the thinning hair and got some answers

    Good morning and Thanks barbiecat, I tried making my diary public but without success so far. Will keep trying, but it's a new diary since starting maintenance. I wondered if reduced fats could be the problem in the past. Normal intake now.

    yes indeed That would be a cute name. I am having my coffee and decide what breakfast will be I think Raisin bread toast and cream cheese. I am suppose to have a serving of carb, a protein and a serving of fat. And that will take care of all 3. love this diet I am on.

    Marie

    I’m a kid in his early 60’s. Come from a large family…oldest sister is now in her early 80’s and the youngest is 59…Lost 2 siblings in their 60’s (heart-related), mother passed at 57 father mid-80’s. Had a close friend die this year – she was 97 and a blast. Lost 2 bros-in-laws (more like brothers to me) both in their 60’s this past year. My dad was still flying kites into his late 70’s, tried some roller skating and took a computer class around age 80.

    My 97-yr old friend still took cruises (and used a riding lawn mower) up to age 94 and told me she didn’t like hanging with too many old people “they slow me down” she would say. But she had her church girlfriends and still did lunches. She easily would have hit 100, but had a fall and required surgery etc. So I am all over the map…and stay very in-tuned with many people in their 20-40’s (they are usually surprised I know the current singers, actors etc.)

    As we know, life is a crap shoot – so I want to enjoy (in as good as health possible) whatever future remains.

    Been doing pretty good on my weight-loss – long story as with many of us – so I’ll hold back from re-writing War & Peace.

    Just wanted to give a snap-shot as asked.

    It didn't work for me either. But then I cannot make my Diary public either. Could before on the old site.
