Mastiff_mama 171 Posted May 11, 2013 I stopped coming to this forum because I am losing soooo much slower than people on here. I am 50 and post menopausal, so I knew it would be slow and I am not hard core dieting. I eat what I want, just a lot less of it! Had several weeks if being really sick and have been inactive too, but today did some before and after pics... I has surgery 2 1/2 months ago.

Oliver's Mom 258 Posted May 11, 2013 You look great! I am in the 50's (hahaha at least for a few more months anyway) and weight does come off slower. But that's OK - this is a journey we'll be for for the rest of our lives......and since I plan to be here for a L O N G time, especially now that I am getting so healthy, I've got time. My weight loss is going very slowly now and my medical team & personal trainer all say that it is a good way to lose. I think it's helping me to work on developing more patience with myself. Just keep to your medical team's plan and it will come off. Good luck, keep us all posted - we're here to support you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newat52 1,613 Posted May 11, 2013 You look fantastic! Slow and steady wins the race! I am 9 weeks out and am 52. I knew it would be slower for me because I have always been a slow loser and at our age, our bodies don't seem to want to give it up! I am not doing low carb, just healthy rounded meals with of course Protein first. I just hit my second major goal of another 10% of my body weight. It's going slow but it's going! Congrats to you! You inspire me! And yes, 50's are great! I My favorite decade so far! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fariethin 63 Posted May 11, 2013 I am 49, had a complete hysterectomy at 28, so I have been post menopause since then. I too am a slow loser compared to others 27 since 3/6. But I am finally embracing the fact that I am not everybody else, I can only be me and do the best I can. Plus at our age we need less chance at all that loose skin LOL. You look great though!
