Another newbie

Hi there. My name is Denise and I struggle with my weight. I am 48 years old, the mother of 5 and grammie to 4 beautiful babies! I have been in menopause for 9 years and it seems that no matter what I do, the weight just keeps creeping up on me. I can cut back, eat more, stay the same, whatever, nothing helps. I'm going to invest in some exercise videos for our Wii, and hope that those, along with this site, will help me to slim down and tone up. I am super excited about being on here and can't wait to get started!!

Hi Denise,

I'm also trying to lose weight and going through menopause at the same time. It is a special challenge because none of the usual rules seem to work, and it can be endlessly frustrating when the only way your scale seems to be able to move is .. up! Hang in there, feel free to add me as a friend if you would like, so that we can share any tips that make a difference in this crazy time...
