    I'm game! Although I was very fit and healthy in my 20's, I've neglected my health for years and am now overweight and out of shape. I'm working with a trainer and watching my intake. He wants me to eat 4-6 times/day, so I try to do that in small portions. I've lost 10 pounds! :)

    Count me in, too. I'm 52. Early menopause (in my late 30's) and just now realizing some of the effects it has had. But I'm working now to reverse some of that!

    I'm 53, post-menopause (also surgical), hypothyroid and fighting an uphill battle with fatigue.

    In my case, I don't believe the hormones (or lack of them) are the problem. A lifetime of being sedentary is what got me to where I am today. But I'm working on it ... a little at a time.

    Add me! I'm 55 and just seriously started here on March 6 and learning the ropes of healthy eating after years of horrible eating habits (not eating enough or drinking enough water). Always have had time to take care of everyone else but have never taken time for me. NOW IS THE TIME! Is the group set up and how do we join it?

I have my arm band from bodymedia.com to count the calories burned and I love it, started a gym, went to DR for check up and all is great, post menopausal, count all calories and the scale is not moving. So a great group that has ideas and pointers, I am eager!!!

    At 45 I am finding it harder to get back in shape, eat healthy and exercise consistently, I am exercising 3-5 times a week. I am loosing weight, down to the last belt hole, my progress is slow but gradual. I am a type 2 diabetic and my blood sugar was out of control, now my blood sugar is consistently normal. I am hoping to get off my diabetic medication, or at least reduce them. I have seen a dietician who laid out a very specific meal plan. She isn't telling me what specific foods to eat but how many of each categories to eat. I bought a food scale, and use my fitness pal faithfully. Stay the course. I workout @ SoldierFit, its not your ordinary gym. Its an hour of exercises lead by certified trainers. This is like nothing else I have ever done, and I LOVE IT! Do this for you, family and friends. This is your life LIVE it to the fullest.
