I don't know how you people plan to avoid reaching the age of 50 and beyond and experiencing the associated changes in your bodies. Fill me in on your secrets.

~61 year old DCUM'er

I don't know - maybe diet and exercise? Not eating crappy food, smoking and drinking like crazy. it is not rocket science.

You win the prize for discovering the fountain of youth.

Perhaps someone should make a documentary about you. The changeless one that simply had a lifestyle of diet and exercise and of course no crappy food. Life and the aging process was no match for her.

I guess you know more than the NIH - please let us know your secrets?

Oh honey

You must be under 50

Actually no - turning 60 in October. Following this advice, feeling great and so far staying healthy. I am around lots of adults in their 70's and 80's and the ones that seem to be doing the best are the ones who are active exercisers, active in life and eat healthy. It is not full proof but why not try to give yourself a chance with things you can control?

Some years I find good dresses, but this year is not one of them. Something I do in years like this, which may seem a little weird, is to use swim cover ups for summer dresses, with a cami and shorts or skort underneath. Here are two I found from Macy's. They are both labeled as Juniors, but they fit like standard women's sizes.

(Ordered in an x-large but was too big, so I'm returning and trying the large.)

(This was really cute with a cami and a little black skirt under....maybe a slip instead if it's not too hot.)

I'm about 5'4 and a size 14, so while I am very jealous of these long flowy dresses, I look like a balloon in them.

I'm tall-ish (5'8) and yes, I do love my arms. I'm not skinny (8/10), though, and my shoulders and arms are one of my favorite features, so why not emphasize them? It's the same thing as women who carry their weight in the midsection wanting to emphasize their great legs.

That was a rhetorical question....as in...wow...everyone is suggesting long sleeveless dresses that don't tend to look good on short and chubby women. It wasn't prompting an individual response. LOL.

Everyone wasn't suggesting those dresses. There were PPs earlier specifically asking for recommendations for shorter, apple-shaped women.

Why post if you don't want feedback of any kind?

It’s the perfect travel dress.

I just received this dress in the mail and it is flattering and comfortable! I am 5'11 and ordered in Small Tall (I have a very long torso). I have boobs and a butt

I don't LOVE my arms, but I find I either need sleeveless dresses or legit short sleeves (halfway down to elbow, or just above the elbow) on shirts and dresses. Cap sleeves or anything that hits an inch or two below the shoulder looks terrible - makes my arms look really fat.

You may feel great and healthy, but you still look 60.

That's the point going over your head. Your body has changed, there is no amount of diet or exercise that will stop it from changing. It's called life.

So the Quince silk wrap dress didn't work for me. I'm only 5'7 and the dress was barely covering my butt and I don't have really long legs. It's also for someone with small boobs. The leather jacket is amazing and can fit my DDDs in a M.

Christie Brinkley is 67. Not sure what you mean by looking 60.

Plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and lot of photo shop.

I’m sorry this is hard for you. Society has hammered into every woman’s head that they are less than as the natural aging process takes over. Men can look like handsome older men. But older women cling to their photos of Christie Brinkley and create unrealistic goalposts.

But this is your journey, take care of your mental health when you get to those bumps on the road.
