A really old one by Neil Diamond: Forever in Blue Jeans.

Love yourself.

What a wonderful and brave post. We are learning more and more about so called mental illness and starting to treat it like a medical condition. I think counseling and the best use of medications, diet, exercise, etc is so much healthier and kinder than just expecting people to buck up and move forward. With men,…

46 when I got the cell phone. I am 56.

Married. 33 years.

Don't hate the way you look. Love yourself through and through. You have many years left in that body. You will meet someone. You are right to continue to be sweet and kind--there are men out there who are looking for that in a woman. It will be enough. Your friends were unkind. That is on them. You don't have to take what…

Wow! great job. You lost a person. You look great and happy.

I agree.

I am not a doctor or a trainer, but I think you need to let your body use its energy on getting well not on exercise. Take care and do all those things our grandmothers used to tell us--drink lots of fluids, eat well, plenty of rest, etc.

Swimming has got to be a great exercise. Do what you like and what you will stick to.

great job!

You look beautiful. You should be very proud of yourself.

I am 56 (and I was born in 56.)

I have. It is slower, but it is possible.

Wow. Great job.

Wow. You lost weight and you went back in time.

She owes you an apology.

Buy good bras.

Counting calories works for me for several reasons. I eat less and I eat healthier. It is also more of a lifestyle for me than a diet. I can also allow for eating out or eating desserts.

25, 28, 31 (Three kids) I don't think the age you have them matters (though you can be too young.) It is more important to know you are ready. You have to know in your heart. Wait until you know for sure.

Great job!!

I have been to Europe. It really doesn't matter what you wear, the minute you talk they will know you are an American. I found that just being polite and respectful of their country is more important than what you look like. Have fun. Enjoy the sites and be experimental.

So sorry you lost your mom. That is a tough one. Good luck on your journey to get healhier. I bet your mom would be proud.

I am quite a bit older than you are, but I exercise regularly and I like to run, too. I have knee pain in both knees, but especially in my left one. I have found that stretching helps--Yoga, especially. Also, I use a foam roller to roll out my I-T bands (not sure if that is the way to write that, but it is the muscle that…

Another good measure is how your clothes fit.

Great job. :drinker:

running, spinning, TRX

Nice job.

My husband says yes.

I am 56. I love this site and I love to exercise. Good luck. Add me if you want to.:happy:
