[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP again - then again, maybe it helps people to vent and I'm being insensitive to that. Maybe in 10 more years (im 45), that's what I'll need as well. So I apologize if I'm being a jerk. Obviously this is a sensitive topic for me![/quote]

It's hard to imagine the changes going from 40s to 50s. It's like when you had your first baby - remember how life changing it was?? It's like that... but not in positive sense. [/quote]

Is it the same for men? Because the older men in my family are quite active and fit into their 60's, and even 70's...do women have a harder time due to menopause (not talking cosmetic changes, but ability to stay active).[/quote] Women too often become sedentary as they get older.  The old use it or lose it rule comes into play.  You simply have to keep moving if you want to keep moving.  Yes, even when you have aches and pains of aging.[/quote]

Yeah, I think hormonal changes take the wind out of our sails.  Exercise really helps - A LOT.  But hormonal changes absolutely impact our bodies and the way we feel.  It's a big transition for our bodies - normal and natural, yes.  But you do feel it.[/quote]
