Whats the old saying:

If you don't use it, you lose it...

boy is that ever the truth or what?

At menopause we automatically lose 20 percent of our muscle mass. Dianne, I couldn't believe that I lost my butt too. I walk. I exercise. 20 years ago fifteen minutes of exercise 3 times a week and the body was in great shape. Now 5 -6 days a week I walk 20 minutes, do 20 minutes of yoga, go up and down the stairs 8 times, do a few arm things on an exercise machine, and it still looks like crud. Not as bad as it would look, though, if I did nothing. I'm not going to bust myself for results that don't come. But I do want to continue to be able to move. So I'm adjusting my attitude.


I think about when the body looked hot - and all the hassles it got me into - the men that I thought wanted me for me, when they just wanted to play with me. Phooey, or dirty old feet, as my dad always said. Age is literally a pain in various places, but it also saves a person from certain kinds of hassles.

Yeah, men have to listen to our words instead of staring at our bodies!

My husband just told me recently that he didn't marry me for my body (riiiighhhhttt!). (I was HOT).

How cool is that! I was blessed he even said it. He is a former marine and very handsome (anybody that sees him for the first time HAS to tell me how handsome he is (like I don't know it)) He would prefer me to be trimmer (I carry my weight well, but am no longer thin), but I think he has embraced how wonderful I am (I tell him every day how wonderful I am, how could he possibly forget! lol

If I lose any more butt, I'm going to be in trouble!

You are too funny, Danita!

I thought my boobs were going to look like they were hopelessly sagging, from now on, even though they don'tlook half bad for a 56 year old. Then I got these new bras by Olga, no padding. They fit wonderfully, and I don't ooze out the sides. It feels like I have new boobs. Yea!!

Wow, what kind of Olga bra is it? As soon as you tell me, I'm going to the store. Need something!

Yes, Nancy while your out could you pick me up a Olga bra also? I want new boobs!

OK Vi where did you get the Olga bra?

I got the bra from Bare Necessities at the following url

The style I purchased was #35059 Leaf Bouquet. I purchased it in the smallest size they had. I wasn't sure I had enough boobs left to fill it out. The secret of the support seems to be in the way this fabric was formed. Each cup is one solid piece, but it bells in the center and dosen't along the edges. I don't know how to explain it, but I love it.
