I am an active 55 year old woman who still wants to do the things I did when I was 24...only, I am finding out that my body has a mind of its own...I get sore more, and suffered a few injuries so I am scaling back a bit and trying to get healthy through diet and excercise geared more towards my age group (no more running for me...walking will do just fine...).

I have the excercise part down, but I love to eat...and, what I eat is no longer burning off like it used to...ugh...

I workout with a personal trainer, who suggested I try to get some group support and suggestions from group members...since I am a computer geek, he thought online support would help me as long as I move my butt at least once a day...

I am particularly frustrated with the effects of aging on metabolism...I am trying a few supplements to see if it will help, but surely, this extra weight is not going to be my fate until I die!
