Welcome, Kat! I can vouch for the 50's being tough. They've been even tougher since I had a total hysterectomy almost 2 years ago. I never fully appreciated estrogen until then!


I agree with what Nancy and Patty have posted and am finding that weight training is more important than ever if you want muscle tone and to sculpt your body. It sure takes a lot more work and time than it used to, but if you stick with it, you can see results.

Kat welcome to the FOF Board. I am not at the 50 mark but I can tell you that these 40's have given me a run for my money. I am frightened of the things 50 has to offer. My only advise is to be kind to yourself, trust yourself, do what is good for you, make small changes that lead to big ones and stick around here. We have such a variety of ladies willing to listen and help. We look forward to getting to know you better.

I've struggled with my weight since I was a kid!
