In reply to the discussion: A year and a half after "70 lbs. down. Now I can rant about obnoxious fitness fanatics"... [View all]PasadenaTrudy
(3,998 posts)24. You are so lucky...
I'm 50 and I put on a lot of lbs in the past 4 yrs. I lost my mom and my only sister w/in 2 months of eachother. All through this, I was going through menopause. It was awful. I have fibromyalgia and CFS, so I've never been able to really exercise much. I'm also heat and photosensitive, so anything over 80 degrees is too hot for me. I take strolls, grocery shop, climb my stairs. That's about all I can handle. I wish I lived in a cooler climate like OR or WA! Anyway, enjoy the lovely hikes, I like your photos

It wouldn't hurt to get a physical/hormone workup, too, if you decide to try again.
