I'm looking for other 50+ women who have gone through menopause (I'm 53) and really struggle to lose weight. After the holidays, I'm feeling motivated to try once again. This isn't my first attempt, but often I've gone through it alone. It doesn't work well. In my 50's, it does require more work and it's easy to get discouraged. That's why I'd love to find a few other female fitness pals that want to commit to communicating regularly on our journeys where we can encourage and motivate each other for success. You know the saying, 'misery loves company'? I'm hopeful it will be less misery! My goal is to lose 30-40 lbs, so I'm hoping to find someone who needs to lose between 30-60 lbs.

Interested? Message me and let's see if we can make this work. Wishing everyone success in 2018! Let's not wait another year to look and feel more FABULOUS!

    Hi, I'm 55--56 in Jan. Looking to get my life back on track with getting healthy. Would like to drop 20-30 pounds. Hate exercising, but know I have to do it. Know what I have to do--need accountability and help from you all to keep me motivated. :-) By the way, this is an old pic--trying to update it.
