It's SUPPOSED to be sunshiny all the time, but....not so much right now! Never mind, my attitude is Sunnie enough to make up for the wet weather we really need!

I'm 57, but my mind and heart still feel like 30. I just need to get my body is better shape to match my young outlook. I have 2 grown daughters, and two adorable grandsons...the youngest being 5 months old, and they are both the apples of my eye. I'm married to a wonderful guy 16 years younger than me, so I must be doing SOMETHING right! LOL

For the past 2 years, though, I've suffered with reoccuring kidney stones. I had surgery once, got more, and have so far avoided another surgery, but the diet I have to live really makes it hard to lose weight. I can't do low carb. I have to limit whole grains and meat. On the plus side, I was able to give up those nightly glasses of wine, so the year hasn't been a total health loss. But I'm still at an all-time high in weight, and that MUST CHANGE.

I hope you guys can help, and would love to make some buddies!

Hi Sunnie!



We've got all sorts of different groups around here There's a 50+ section to connect with others your age. There's a Diet Central to find a plan that may work for you. And all sorts of other support.

Start with something small, like drinking enough daily water, and then build from there. You might be surprised what a few months of healthy habits can get you

Best of success!

Hi Sunnie,

I also in Southern California, up in the high desert. Where are you?

I too am married to a younger man but only by a couple years.... you go girl!

I so understand feeling young. Now if I could just get the body to do half of what it once was capable of.

Lots of us in So Cal. I don't have a younger man, but I sure have been craving me one lately

Sounds like you're off to a good start, and you're DEFINITELY in the right place
