Hello, I'm Josette a 45 year old mom of 3 ages 25, 24 & 21. I've been physically fit most of my life. About 5 years ago I was diagnosed with POCS and fibroid tumor the size of a baseball. I was on Metoperol for high blood pressure and gained 50 pounds. While on that drug with regular exercise I couldn't get my heart rate up enough to maintain my metabolism. I went off of it when my hair started falling out. I've been able to lose about 8 pounds. I'm 44 pounds over weight. My blood pressure is high. I eat clean, low sodium and exercise in zone 2 &3 and struggle to lose it.
I just started Norethindrone (Aygestin/Progesterone) last night and contemplating a hysterectomy. My blood pressure isn't going to get better until the weight comes off. Has anyone here taken Norethindrone? I am wondering if any of you have been down this road I'm on.

Hi Josette! I'm Janis, 50 years old with two boys, 20 and 17. Sorry about your health issues. I have been very lucky with that, but as I age, staying in shape is getting harder and harder. I recently joined a gym, so I'm tracking everything and determined to lose 10 pounds. But more than the weight, I want to feel strong and energetic. Good luck on your journey!

Hi Janis! I have all boys too! They are by far the best thing in the world! Now they are grown I'm really looking forward to this next chapter in life. I'm determined to get my health back. Tracking everything seems like it would be a great way to stay mindful. I usually estimate my macros and haven't really used the trackers much. I'm going to try it out! Good luck on your journey too!
