:bigsmile: Welcome back to all my great friends from 2012 and welcome to all the new friends that we will meet in 2013
:flowerforyou: The name of this thread is “Women Ages 50+” but all women are welcome.
:flowerforyou: January is traditionally the month of making resolutions for the New Year but we have been making resolutions for one month at a time.
:bigsmile: This is a new year and a new blank page on the calendar and time to continue your great habits and create new ones.
How did you do with your resolutions for December?
What resolutions have you made for January?
:flowerforyou: Jump right in and become part of the most supportive and encouraging group of women you’ll ever meet.

• Don’t expect praise or recognition (almost super)

Thank you Barbie for continuing this thread.
2012 was a year of great change for me. A year ago I would not have even considered posting on a thread. I tend to be a bit of an introvert although DH says that is changing. I lost weight, became more active, and have had an attitude adjustment. I like my very imperfect self much more than I have ever before. Much of this journey was made possible due to the support and motivation from the women here. Knowing we are all experiencing the same struggles and victories makes it so much easier to stay focused. THANK YOU ALL!!
Have a safe and very happy new year!

To all the great ladies on MFP 50+
THANK YOU for making 2012 a very good year and looking forward to sharing 2013 with all of you. You really are special and I appreciate you being here and your wonderful, non-judgmental support.
Viv – welcome back to the fold and many of us are feeling a little heavier (not Linda Sundance – she’s laughing!!!).
JB – what a wonderful night with friends you had (and I haven’t seen a corningware coffee pot for 20 years – lol)
Meg – I also love birds and bird feeders – I put out the nyger feeders for the finches but none have come by yet – I think I might be early. I hope you have a wonderful NYE and dance your little feet off and if the shoe doesn’t fit, dance without them.
(and welcome to reality for your DD1 – lol) MFP edits the D Clark name because you
have to pay to use it – it’s copywrited.
Eileen – you must be doing something right - how wonderful and Happy New Year and keep up the good work.
JaneH – I also have a very quiet NYE, I wish I got the hype, but I never have really. Like you, I need to log the water or I just don’t drink enough. OMG, your rodent stories are scary – I’ve only ever had squirrels put nuts in my bed at my parents ski lodge (which was kind of gross actually), and picked up dead rats from my Fox Terriers (and that is the end of my rat/squirrel stories and I’m happy that it is).
Ah JB – eloquent as usual – your blog says it all very well – thank you (and I for one am very happy your are here).
Deb A – dance like no one’s watching – lol. Are you sure that squirrel wasn’t’ coached?
JaneM – your making little cat blankets sums up your wonderful giving nature.
SmilingRN – looking forward to sharing 2013 with you here on MFP and I hope you save your last post of 2012 to look back on in summer and next New Years. Really, you will be amazed! And blessings to you too.
Linda S – hugs to you too and I am totally amazed at your journey so far and how you have changed and now embrace the exercise (veggies coming up).
Jen – surprise – bigger isn’t always better!! Lol
Lin – you will wear that size 10 coat this year (and then replace it with a new one for mocking you for so long – HA)
Barbie – OK you’ve tweaked my interest about your 2013 welcoming events (what on earth are you going to be doing at 4 in the morning – lol). And thank you for setting up the January thread – it just wouldn’t be the same if it wasn’t you setting it up!
LinC - hope your cough goes away and don’t be surprised that others see the change you don’t yet see. We have this mental image of what we look like that takes forever to shift.
Liz – I’m happy that you are part of my journey too.
Well, it’s almost New Years for some of you – not yet for me being the last time zone (or is Hawaii after us? Hmmm, can’t remember). I’m making sushi tonight with the tools and ingredients I got for Christmas and these wonderful Japanese chopsticks (actually called hashi). Guess what kind – Salmon of course!!!!!
Wishing you all a wonderful evening and looking back on 2012 – it was a pretty good year. 2013 is going to be a pretty wonderful year.
WISHING YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!!!
