When I strained my hammie while sprinting 13 weeks ago, my husband told me that when a football player does that, he is out for the season! We aren't professional athletes - we aren't that young and fit. Give it time to heal! I'm just now running (slowly) as it still has an occasional twinge/tight feeling. Congrats on your…

I run on my country road and have experienced some of the same things as you guys. Once, I slowed down to cross an intersection, and an elderly woman rolled down her car window and asked if I needed a ride! I have been asked directions by mostly women looking for the nearby cemetery; but i would hope that men would have…

Warmer temps and vigorous exercise brings on the bright red cheeks! I'm basically accepting of it except for when someone at the gym asks me if I'm OK :/

I've noticed that too. I buy most of my tanks at Kohl's and in January, they had just one style of tank - all the rest of the tops were short-sleeved. I buy most of my capris from Marshalls except for Kohl's Fila sport capris "live in motion." They are perfect for me! There is a side pocket for my iPod, and the waist is…

OP, thanks for posting. I have never heard of this before, and I was kind of freaked out a few times recently when I smelled an ammonia scent (cat urine) after a sweaty workout. I thought it was another wonderful post-menopausal body change. :/ Good to know that there is a simple fix! Thanks, everyone.

This cracked me up! Love it! Some of the women are taking the OP's comments a bit too personnally. Some are warning her about ruining a friendship, telling her that she should permanently pace her workouts with someone slower, blah, blah, blah. Then a guy steps in...

I don't think the friendship/working relationship comes first at the cost of your fitness. If you are able to carry on a conversation, you are basically taking a leisurely stroll and not making good use of your only convenient time to exercise. You are feeling frustrated, and since she suggested that you walk ahead, she is…

Me too! Though my husband would tell me that my snoring was like a purring kitten, I was unhappy knowing that I was snoring whenever I slept on my back. Also, I hardly ever have heartburn. I don't know if it's from my 12 lb weight loss or from not stuffing myself full at dinner!

8 lbs. A female acquaintance at the gym came up to me and asked if I lost weight. I gave her a thank-you hug! :) (SW: 159, CW: 149. 5'6")

Lol, glad you clarified! My husband and I were in a bad habit of drinking 2 drinks every evening. It's easy to fall into the thought process of: it's 5pm, time to have a drink! We started limiting our drinking to the weekends as of the new year. I have 4 drinks per weekend, max. and have lost 9 pounds in 2 months. I mostly…

My first post! I'm 5'6, medium frame. Size 8. Mid 50's. Highest weight 159, cw 150. Goal about 140-145. I was slim my whole life until menopause. Yeah. Gained 20 pds in 7 years. I started running sprints and lifting weights 15 years ago and never go more than a few days without exercise. So, not sure how much I should…
