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!

    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.

    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!
