    I am forty seven and if you saw me in my Zumba class you would think I was 60. I forget the moves and I sometimes yawn during the hour session. lol

    Hi Pauline, I'm 51 and have been here since early March 2012. Haven't yet been through menopause and dammit TOM is still as regular as the clock. If you are still looking for over 50s friends, feel free to add me.

    Hi,
    I just turned 50. In fact I am 50 and 11 days.
    Please add me...I agree there are certain things that happen to our body at this age
    that never happened when I was in my 20's or 30's and only really started when
    I got to be around in my 40's. LOL

    Hi,
    I'll be 60 in about 10 days!! Not too excited about that(:
    I'm trying to lose 20-25 lbs. and tone up.

    There was a time when I ran 5 miles a day and worked out at the gym for an hour 4 - 5 days a week.

    Well. my knees will not allow me to run anymore so I try to walk at least 4 -6 miles when I can and do a kettlebell workout at home when I have the energy after work.

    It just seems no matter how little I eat and how much I try to walk I am at a standstill which gets very discouraging!
    Any suggestions :-) :smile:
