    Over fifty and I love this site for all the support and friendships. We do have our challenges, slowing metabolism and menopause. But we can get though it all with support. Please send me a friend request!

    I am 57, well past menopause (which left me this ugly belly fat and weight gain, by the way). I've lost 16 pounds since I started this in November and the support of both others on this site and my family have been a huge factor! I'd love to friend any or all of you so we can travel this long road together. Send me your friend or group invites!

    Hello, I'm 53 today and yes, I know what you mean by hotflashes. I hit menopause at 50 and don't know how long these hotflashes will last. So please add me.

    Welcome. I just started here yesterday. Of course it isn't my first time at trying to lose weight. I turned 51 in December. Time to get back on track. I lost 35 pounds in 2009 and slowly gaining back so must stop it now before it gets out of control. I never did lose to where I wanted to be so I am shooting for 15 lbs. We can do it!

    :flowerforyou: I just turned 50 on 2/7 and joined MFP yesterday, so I'm just getting started. I'm excited by all the support I see on the board so if you want to add me that will be great. I have a long way to go but I figure everyday that I make better choices brings me closer to where I want to be.

    Hi my name is Pauline and I am looking for Pals over 50. We have unique challenges at this age, so support is vital. Anyone going through Menopause or experiencing the challengs of middle age and looking for a friend?
    Well, HI Pauline.........my name is Pauline, too!

    Although I go by Polly, which fits my crazy personality better ;)

    I am 57........went through menopause "medically" in my mid-30's, due to a total hysterectomy! I still have some symptoms at times, but not much.

    I've lost about 24 lbs since I started trying (prior to MFP)...........feel fabulous, love my life, all is well!

    Enjoy your journey, gals!!! It's all part of your FABULOUS life!!!!

    Hi Pauline,
    So glad to find a place with "50ish" gals! I will be 51 in June. I joined MFP 1 week ago. I would like to lose 30 pounds and then go down from there. Baby steps I say! I hope to find support from lovely ladies my age. I have gone thru menopause and am still blessed with the night sweats....trying different things for that right now. Here's to Fifty and Fabulous!! Have a great day!

    Hi Pauline,

    I'm 51 and just started MFP on January 3rd. I'm okay with being 51 just not with being 51 and horribly overweight. So, please add me as a friend, I love to hear stories and watch others my age improve their life! Good Luck, you can do it!

    Welcome Pauline, I am 55, will be 56 this year November-Sure as heck don't feel my age but guess the body is saying differently. Tryinig to get into some type of shape other than round and increase my stamina and zest for living. Very young at heart and don't like the way I look or feel. Good luck on your journey, the support here is wonderful. Feel free to add me as a friend if you like. :flowerforyou:
