Hi everyone! I'm thrilled to be in a group of women (and maybe some men too) that are in my age range. I've been told so many times that it is very hard to lose weight after the 50-yr-old mark, but I want to challenge that belief and, of course, challenge myself to begin. Since being involved in a severe car accident and experiencing arthritis in both hips, my sports activities have had to come to a halt. This has depressed me a lot and is part of the reason why I have gained around 10 kg. The only exercise I can do is walking, so I try to get out regularly with my dog. Now I will have to 'step it up' a bit more. Looking forward to reading your achievements!
