    I like the 50's.....

    Ya know, I'm enjoying being in my 50's more than I would have thought. It's a nice in between age and allows you the perks of being older while still sampling the youth culture.

    I can always fall back on it if I struggle during an athletic competition or while disciplining my daughter, and it allows me to wear comfy sweaters while the young uns are being cold but stylish....

    Overall I give it a stamp of approval.

    I am getting really close...(49) but so far I totally agree with you!
    I kind of freaked when I turned 40, but I don't think I will when 50
    comes. I am really starting to get to know who I really am, what does
    really matter to me, and above all I am much more thankful for the blessings
    I do have than I ever was younger!

      And the 60ies are even better cause YOU CAN RETIRE. Did I mention to anyone that I was retired. Heck its been over 11 months now and I highly recommend it to everyone. Of course I was thinking that I could take a part time job as a Wal Mart greeter. Hi, Hello, Hi, Hi, welcome, See, I would be perfect.

            At 57 I weigh the same as I did at 17; and I fit the dress uniforms made for me when I joined the British Army aged 27 in 1977.
            Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
            he said, 'Don't count calories.'

            Began Atkins March 04 at 260lb, reduced to 203lb by April 07 and maintained.

            Atkins makes exercise mandatory - I took up cycling - see last pics at 203lb.

                  The 50s are good. I just wish I didn't need thiose darned irritating reading glasses!

                  Brian, it must feel great to fit back into those uniforms. What a positive affirmation every day of how far you've come with the diet and health makeover.

                    Can't believe I haven't ever needed glasses. I think I'm the only one in my family that didn't have them by the time they were teenagers, much less 50+. I attribute it to playing video games and sitting too close to the TV despite all advice to the contrary...lol.
