Anyone else out there 60+?

[Guest guest]

I have enjoyed and been enlightened and comforted by the members of this group,

but everyone I meet is at least 5 years younger than I am. Wnile I do love

interacting with people of all ages, those of us who are older have some unique

challenges to weight loss and we have less time to accomplish our goals!

I never gave much thought to weight loss until I hit menopause. I was a

comfortable size 12, and I was fine with that. I could do my daily work easily

and take my beloved yoga classes for a soothing way to keep fit. I had a

hysterectomy when I was 48, and from that time on, my weight has been an issue.

I also had a few emotionally difficult events happen around that time, and with

all the physical and emotional stress, I have gained over 60 lbs.

My food issues are there,but I am more challenged by exercise. I have tons of

fitness equipment--DVD's, weights, bands, etc.--but I just WON'T use them. There

is something blocking my ability to get off my butt (and the computer) to get

fitter. I have no excuses.

Anyway, I just wanted to see if there were any other older folks out there who

were struggling with both weight and aging.

Take good care, y'all!
