[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's genetics.  Women seem to go one of two ways.  I'm 55 and see it in myself and friends.  Some of us are becoming tiny bird women and some are getting dumpy.

10 years ago we were all athletic and thin.  We all still exercise, we all eat the same as we always did (which is relatively little and quite healthy).[/quote]

Tiny bird women look frail and sickly. The thinning out thing as they age isn’t necessarily a good thing and can be an indicator of illness and less “finally I can fit back into my favorite clothes”.[/quote]

Sure. And also weight gain can be a sign of poor health. Also it's possible to be tiny or to be heavy and still be healthy. People's health and weight is none of your business. I'm sorry the PP used the word "dumpy" to describe older women carrying more weight -- I see that it triggered your defensive need to criticize and put down women who don't gain weight. But you could also just not play this game.[/quote]

Give me a break. There is a lot of disordered thinking and dieting in this age group still and to think that the loss of muscle and fat as part of aging is some sort of win with the genetic lottery is stupid.[/quote]
