What are your biggest challenges from being 50+ ? 57 messages
Last message on 06/12/18 by Kimdanurse: Reading about posts about middle age spread & the wish to rid belly fat. Knowing that visceral fat is the worst & waist to hip ratio is as much a goal as a good BMI. It's hard to get rid of but super important to get it off!
