Hi Everyone... I'm new to the site.

I turn 51 this year and am realizing that my weight is shifting. I've weighed the same since I was 16 but am getting flabby around my belly and hip area. Doctor says - this has to go. I'm hoping a 10 pound weight loss will take care of this.

    I have lower back problems so belly dancing is out for me. However, I do bike Mon and Wed for 1 hour and Power walk Tue and Thur for 1 hour. This aging thing is for the birds.

    Don't ya' just hate that belly/hip area!!! If only.... Anyway, don't get discouraged if you lose the 10 lbs. but not necessarily where you want to lose it. We don't always lose where we want to (trust me, I've tried)! Just be happy with your accomplishments! :happy:
