Hi everyone thought I would introduce myself. Hopefully by connecting here I will motivate, hold myself accountable and gain support from others. I'm a bit of a ghost on here not brave enough to introduce myself or comment but an avid reader. This time I feel like I need all the help I can get, its very hard sometimes. I've got 10kgs to go which is pesky of me but it wont budge and on top of that I have premature menopause and take HRT medication which slows weightloss/makes it harder. To what degree it makes it harder I don't know as I don't think I've committed 100% to this or have been tracking on MFP as well as I could be. So I'm back at it with some determination now and we will see if its the medication or my lack of commitment. To be honest I think its a 70/30 ratio. 70% me and 30% meds. Luckily I've had my children so my family is complete but I'm struggling sometimes emotionally with the concept that I have no control over my body and the downward slide I feel that's happening to me. So I don't know if I can shed the pounds which seem to never budge, hopefully it happens but I dont want to focus to hard on the scales.. I really just want to be fit powerful and healthy so I can face the beast of my health issues with some courage and be the healthiest version of myself.
Thanks for reading. ♥

Hi!! I am 37 and just recently found out I have premature menopause. I have been working out this past year..off and on..and was getting so frustrated that I was not seeing any change. I use to be able to just work out and it would just come off without having to change my diet. Now everything makes sense. Feel free to add me. It nice to know their are other women who are also going through this.1
