Default Is there anybody 50+ out there?

Is there anybody 50+ out there? It's been awhile since anyone posted. C'mon now, I know I'm not the only one claiming to be a half century old. Boy, that sounds aweful...half a century.

Hi
I think as most people find that Atkineering makes them feel younger (at least I do) we dont neccessarily think of posting here!

But - there are plenty of us "old'uns" around the board willing to respond to any posts here, so post away and get things going

Elizellen is right. When I think of a 50+ forum, my mind automatically thinks of problems associated with being over 50. Since I started this WOE, I feel younger, look younger and have a new outlook on getting older. I'm here and I'm over 50, but I'm feeling younger every year.

I'm here too! I guess I don't look in this forum because I don't want to believe that it will be harder for me because of my age!

ITS NOT. Trust me. I'll be 52 in 3 months and I've been maintaining a 40+ loss for nearly 6 years.
