Over fifty and fabulous :)

fitterandfabulouser

Hi my name is Pauline and I am looking for Pals over 50. We have unique challenges at this age, so support is vital. Anyone going through Menopause or experiencing the challengs of middle age and looking for a friend?

Hi Pauline!

I'm not over 50 but will be 50 this June. Feel free to add me. Sometimes I feel like I'm going through Menopause but am told it's Peri-M! It's a confusing time. I could use encouragement too!

Welcome! I am almost 41, but I wish you much success, and I have gone through "the change" physically already, so I understand that.

good luck to the both of you, and please feel free to add me if you like (both of you)

Hi Pauline! I am fifty and feeling some of the same things that you are. I am realitively new to MFP. I started last June for a short time, feel off and restarted in January. I have 2 friends, my daughter who has lost 60 lbs and my sister who is also new - both way younger that us!. Good luck!

Hi Pauline, I am 55....56 next month. I too started in January. Anyone in the thread--feel free to add me.

I will be the Big 50 later this month. I started MFP the last of Aug 2011. I am a wife, mother and grandmother. The more motivation the better for me. I am looking at this as a life change and not a diet. Wishing you much success. Feel free to add me. Jackie

Welcome! I turned 50 in September. Age does matter in the fitness game. I'd love to have you join a group I'm part of. Women Of A Certain Age. I've met some of the most supportive, motivational friends there.

Hi I just turned 50 and have already gone through menopause. (I was 44 when I started 46 when it ended), but I think it was because of radiation treatments. Still having hot flashes and a few night sweats though. Feel free to add me, I just started in January.

Just turned 52 on the 3rd and 3 years post menopause.... sooo hard to lose the weight now. I need some help with exercise. I love to walk and trying my hand at C25K now. My pace not the fastest, but I am doing it,

Pauline.... I too am over 50.... way over, just plain decided I wasn't comfortable at my current weight. Menopause is kicking my .....! Hot flashes, weight gain.... full time job with stress..... excuse after excuse. Well I'm done with all the excuses. Walking daily, keeping track of everything that I eat... This is a great site and I intend to loose weight and keep it off... :happy: Since I joined in January, I've lost 3lbs.... I'm encouraged and hopeful that if I do this my bp will come down and my feet and knees will not hurt anymore. Over fifty and fabulous... a new goal!! Thanks Pauline!

I love these over 50 threads! We're all so young at heart! I'm going to be 60 (um... how did that happen?) in April, though I feel 25 years youngers than that. I'm done with the meno/permeno etc., but am certainly happy to share my experiences with that whole process! Glad to be here!

I am 56, hopefully past menopause, and I am just tired of the extra weight. Don't have alot to lose but it is extra pounds all the same....

RamblinRose1962

Just turned 50 and could use support. Not a self motivator. Would love to have others to keep in touch with! :bigsmile:

FitN50s

I sent you an invitation to join the group. I didn't realize I could do that, or I would have done it sooner.:flowerforyou:
