Looking for new friends who are Fun Fluffy & Fiftyish

I’ve been here before, as many of us have. I’m re-joining because I just won’t give up. I’m a grandmother of 2, wife of 33 years, mother of two grown women, and I have one amazing son in law. I work full time, I hike when I can, I go geocaching, I’m into postcrossing, I like to crochet, I love to travel, and I just recently started a Red Hat Society chapter. I’ve been a smoker but quit in 2008, I’ve had various health issues including beating the crap out of Thyroid cancer this past year. All is well now and I’d like to go full force into changing and improving my life. I’m looking for some friends who are kind of similar. I’d love it if we could keep in touch often here and let each other know what’s going on in our lives.

    I'm not fiftyish, but wanted to say congrats for beating the hell out of thyroid cancer AND quitting smoking! Those are two amazing accomplishments.

    Good luck on getting healthy!! :)

    Hi I'm fiftyish, not sure about the fluffy bit and like to think I'm fun. Stuggling a bit to stay on track this week.
  • I am old enough to be a grandmother, but I have one 13 year old son. I get the special challenges of trying to lose weight over age 50. Thyroid cancer treatment can have repercussions that make weight loss even trickier; you have my support and sympathy since it is already hard enough. I am in the middle of a 6 week challenge with a personal trainer (sounded like a good idea at the time, you know) and I am looking for motivation on keeping with the program. Add me and maybe we can both finally meet our goals this time. Don't hold it against me that I don't have a photo - I have many strong points but use of readily available technology is not one of them.

    Hey there! I'm definitely fiftyish and fun...wouldn't say fluffy, but probably flossy ;-D I've been married 31 years, have two grown children; a daughter in Oregon and a son still at home. I have one grandson, 17 mos. and another one coming in October! Gardening, knitting, cooking/baking and traveling (especially the Lowcountry) are some of the things I like to do. I'm determined to lose the weight I've gained, and struggled with the last 20 years, as well as get fit and healthy. Crushing my bad cholesterol numbers and busting out of the pre-diabetic catagory are priorities now. I started working with a trainer last September, dusted off my road bike, and... wait for it... started running. A long-time and awesome friend is training me to run a 1/2 Marathon three days after Christmas. I ran my first 5K (3.1 miles) Thanksgiving morning last year! Looking forward to getting to know you, ladies! Stay strong!!!

    Not quite fifty yet, I don't know if I'd say fluffy, but definitely not waif-like here, and I've been through thyroid cancer. Trying to focus more on healthy habits and not get too worked up about the number on the scale. Close enough?

    Hi I am fluffy and fiftyish as well. I am happily married 32 years, and just became a grandma for the first time 2 months ago. My goal is to loose 100lbs. I have lost 25 so far. Please add me... could use some friends in the same boat. :flowerforyou:
  • Well look at the friend list growing here. So nice to know we're all in this together. Happy Friday everyone!!!!

    I am back again!!! I'm 43 and making changes. I took a long break and since recovering from shoulder surgery and various other medical conditions I came back. I recently went paleo. It has benefited me greatly as I am losing weight, but not starving myself and counting calories. That may seem odd to some it really helps me. I keep a list of what I eat and it helps me maintain the fats, sodium, and proteins that I ingest. I have cut out sugars and processed food. The first few weeks was hard because I realized just how addicted to sugar I was. It was tough but it's out of my system and I don't miss it. I have lost almost 20 lbs. since changing this part of my life. I am blessed with a strong support base at home from my beautiful wife and sons. I have a beautiful grand daughter whom I want to see grow up. I would love to make friends to help support and to support me when I'm at an impasse. I know I'm not in the fifty range, but I look for support and give support wherever I can. Good luck to you and all.

    I'm 52 but not sure about the fun and fluffy part. LOL. Old enough to be a grandmother but I don't have grand kids. I do have a 14 year old daughter who is starting high school on Monday (we start early in GA).

    I have about 25 lbs to lose to get to my goal weight. I am trying eat healthier and up my exercise routine because I want to live a long and prosperous life and maybe get to dote on some grand kids down the road.

    I am fun and fiftyish, and used to be fluffy, feel free to add me if you like

    Feel free to friend me.

    I'm no longer 50. I've hit 60! I'm no longer fluffy. I've lost 63 pounds and I'm slim now (maintenance). I intend to keep it that way so am here daily and logging. I've always been fun and probably more fun now. I lost my weight with no gimmicks. Just "eat less, move more". I still eat the same (though more) and exercise as much. I don't have any grandchildren but I do have a husband. :smile:

    You can do it and it's nice to see you already have some friends to cheer you on along the way!
  • I enjoyed a lovely day. Now I'm looking forward to a three day weekend here in Canada. Woo Hoo. The temperature has cooled down here and I'm enjoying a bit too much wine (but within my limits of calories for the day) out on my front porch. Life is good. I wish you could all come out and enjoy a nice bon fire at my place. Pretend your here. Cheers my friends.

    IM not fifty yet, but getting there. (48). I have four grown children (22-27) but no grandchildren yet. But I am trying desperately to go from from fluffy to flat!!!
    Congrats on beating cancer! That is a huge achievement! You have gone through the battle of a lifetime! Doing this shouldnt be that hard (but I do know how difficult it is!). You can do it!! And so can I!

    Hi Grammieto2! I'm 49 and have two grown daughters, a toddler and one nine year-old granddaughter! First time in my life I'm fluffy but I'm always fun! And perhaps we can keep each other motivated! Saw your post about the wine, I dig it. Have fun, that's what life is about. Especially after the hard work your body has endured to get rid of the bad boy (cancer). Of which I'm really proud of you and extremely happy you kicked its butt!

    Hi Grammieto2, I'm new here, 50ish, no grandkids (I better not have any yet!) I have two teenage boys. I'm not so fluffy, but still a lot of fun, me thinks. Congrats on beating your cancer, I'm scared out of my mind because I have to go for a biopsy this month, had the ultra sound, cat scan...yada, yada. So, yeah, I'm freaked out, as only someone who's been there would know. So feel free to add me as a friend.:flowerforyou:

    Hi Grammieto2! I'm new here also! It says I joined in 2011, but I never did anything back then! I'm 49, have two grown daughters and two grandkids. One is 8 years old and one is 2 months old! I like to crochet and hike. I also used to smoke (blech!). We have some things in common for sure. I'm trying to lose weight, once again. Oh, and I'm fun....like to laugh a lot and try to make others laugh. I'm fluffy in places.....and working on it! :bigsmile:

    Hello :) 46yr old ( so kinda fiftyish ) father of 5, not a grandparent yet but definitely fluffy. No cancer but do have a bum ticker if that counts? Stay at home dad and the years off work have not been kind lol. Would love to have friends to work through this phase of my life with.

    I’ve been here before, as many of us have. I’m re-joining because I just won’t give up. I’m a grandmother of 2, wife of 33 years, mother of two grown women, and I have one amazing son in law. I work full time, I hike when I can, I go geocaching, I’m into postcrossing, I like to crochet, I love to travel, and I just recently started a Red Hat Society chapter. I’ve been a smoker but quit in 2008, I’ve had various health issues including beating the crap out of Thyroid cancer this past year. All is well now and I’d like to go full force into changing and improving my life. I’m looking for some friends who are kind of similar. I’d love it if we could keep in touch often here and let each other know what’s going on in our lives.

    I am 43 almost 44. I have been morbidly obese for all my adult life. I would LOVE some friends that are ready to keep each other motivated.

    I'm 54 and fun and fluffy and would like to join. I have about 60 pounds to lose and started 2 weeks ago. I'm just trying to change habits for my lifetime. This looks like a fun bunch!

    I've been married for 19 years, have a 19-year-old and a 17-year-old, hubby and I are both musicians and full-time music students. I finally get my bachelors in the Spring! Woohoooo!

    Look forward to getting to know everyone.

    Better act fast - in two months I'll be 60! I think I'm fun. Getting less fluffy as the months roll on (thank goodness!!!!) Just have a lot of lovely swingin, swayin skin to contend with!!! No husband, no kids, no grandkids, but do have two nieces I'm crazy about!
