Hi Ladies! Glad to be here. Typical story - at 51 I've lost and gained hundreds of pounds over the years. Since I hit 50, the losing part got much harder. After getting my health back in line in 2013 for awhile anyway, I gained back almost all of the 70 pounds I lost. Doc says I need to drop 50# sooner rather than later to give my arthritic joints a break. I find myself too down on my backslide to approach this alone. I'm grateful to have a place to share support. Looking forward to getting to know you all! -Linda :)

    I'm not quite 50, but I really need more friends who are all too familiar with the struggle of eating well and still not losing, because that appears to have become the bane of my existence these days. I lost 45lbs just by calorie counting before I got pregnant in 2011. Since the start of 2015 I've been trying to get back into shape, and none of the old tricks seem to work anymore! It's really depressing! Would love to make some friends in similar situation!

    Just found the over 50 group. Nice to have other ladies with the same journey to share struggles and accomplishments with.

    Sounds like I finally found my flock (wide smile). I will be 50 in a few more months and have suddenly gotten motivated (not sure if I am just angry at the middle age woman aging syndrome that has killed my metabolism) to get healthier. I am so happy to have found this forum. Which threads have any of you found to be most helpful? There are so many! Thanks so much

    Some of the threads look inactive. I'm new here this month but other new people are signing on, so I'm sure we'll be able to help each other :)
