Just Turned 50! Topic

SciTeacher 04/03/12
Hello Everyone,

I am new to this community but I'd really like to join a support group to help motivate me to lose 15 pounds. I've always been fairly fit but couldn't fight the aging process when it came to the effects of childbirth so I treated myself to a mommy makeover. I've been a vegetarian for over two years and as soon as my physician clears me, I would like to start training for a 1/2 marathon in the fall. I teach science and honor's English and am involved in animal rescue.

I turn 50 in July and have set my aim as to compete in the Blenhiem and London Triathlon this year, I used to compete regularly ten years ago, now working hard to shed the weight and gain the fitness again, much tougher at 50 than it was at 40!

I agree. It was like I woke up one morning and BAM! I had love handles and a pot belly. I am so anxious for my doctor to release me so I can start training for the half marathon in St Louis. All I can do right now is walk my dog. Do you live in the states or Europe? Are you going to travel overseas to compete in the triathlons?
