Hi everyone -- I am 53 -- I posted a semi-longish introduction in the Introductions folder so I won't double post -- in a nutshell I lost a bunch of weight in 2004 and regained a lot of it in early 2009 -- the details are in my introductory post.
I am finding that it's more difficult to lose the weight this time -- I was 47 and still having regular periods (and still had my gall bladder) the last time -- now I am 53 and haven't had a period in a few months, and had my gall bladder out in late 2006, which has caused a lot of stomach problems if I am not careful about what and when I eat.
Losing weight definitely is different this time, and it's good to find this forum for support....
