success despite menopause and thyroid problems

sedmumm

I just wanted to encourage any other women out there who are menopausal or post menopause. Despite that, a very low thyroid function, and a sedentary and stressful job, I found MFP a wonderful support. I joined in September 2014 and have lost 8.5 of the 9 kilos that I needed to lose. That's about 20 pounds; not a lot, but it means that despite being 54, short, and having the metabolism of a tortoise, I am under 140 pounds for the first time in many years. Thanks, MFP.

Congratulations! Great results! I just went through menopause and the weight seems to be coming off just fine. I'm not happy with the skin on my hands and forearms though. Looks so crepy ugh. It is like my nice skin changed overnight.

Thank you for sharing your story and congratulations on your success. It is hard to lose weight as we age and have other health issues. I would have been easy for you to resign yourself to being a little overweight, because you have some decent excuses, but you didn't . I think that is really great and very inspiring!

I am 53 and I just missed my first period. My body has been feeling bloated. It seems as though my stomach is holding on to the fat. Everything else is getting smaller except for the stomach. My thyroid flucuate, it low, normal, then low again. UUUUUUUUUGH
