I brought this to my group of friends and thought I would post here to see if I can get more feedback.

I am experiencing things I never felt before and wanted to know how it effects others my age to get some perspective.
One thing escapes me. I thought after 6 months I would be able to spring to my feet and not feel stiff when I get up from sleeping or seating for awhile. It isn't happening! I wonder if it is that I still have all this weight and have to lose a lot more to feel better OR is it just what happens when we age. I am a young 56. So hoping it isn't the age thing. Anyone else around my age have this issue or had and it is better now?

    It is a VERY Gradual Change. It does get better, but don't try to rush it.

    I have osteoarthritis but have noticed that since I have added water aerobics to my exercise routine that I am able to move about more with less pain. You are right though I am feeling aches and pains now that I didn't feel even in my 40's. LOL!
