tkrik I turned 50 this past March. Weight has been a struggle since my first pregnancy 32 years ago. I have managed to stabilize my weight, though I want to lose weight. I have actually lost about 10 pounds since my hysterectomy last year and I refused HRT since I was already in menopause. I am planning to get a recumbant bike to try to help with strengthening my legs and getting exercise. I am hoping it will do some good.
