Hi Ladies!
I just happened along a post which had a link that directed me to this group….which I joined today I have read through a few posts chuckled and said “yep, that’s me for sure!” Thank goodness I found this group! Finally, I have those that can relate to the yo-yo ~ rollercoaster I have found myself on.
My name is Shelly.....
I am 46 and have been peri-menopausal for past couple years. I feel I am still just in the beginning stage (not certain where haha) this past year has been very challenging for me! I have been struggling. I am unable to ask my mom for advice (she passed on back in 1994) and my sister had a surgery when she was teenager so she doesn’t experience the change like most do. So I am figuring all this out on my own…..
I know I need to go head to head with this….not let it get the best of me.
I know I have an addiction to carbs & wine! Just need to have in moderation…right?!?
My weight is mostly all in my belly.......
My plan is to clean up my diet ….not necessarily limit any food just be smart about what I put in my mouth; listen to my body (Some treats but not all the time!) and exercise (combo ~ cardio/ST). One day at a time….
Looking forward to making new friends
Have a good day!

Welcome!
I just started seeing a Naturopath Dr. to help with my peri-m symptoms.
It's only been 3 weeks but the few changes that I have made seem to be making a difference.
I am a wine lover as well. Dinner without wine is like a day without sunshine!
I am trying to limit my wine to 3 nights a week.
Feel free to add me.
All the best.

Fellow wino here! I have been menopausal for about 2 years now. I do love my wine! So I am giving it up during the week and rewarding myself on the weekend only. I hope this helps because I cant stand my flabby belly and thighs!0

I just make sure I have enough calories left to fit the wine in on whatever day I choose to have wine!0

Thanks for the warm welcome
Yes...I know I will not be able to give up the wine but thinking just need to try cut back
I do try to "save" some for when I know will be drinking but sometimes I do get carried away haha 0 -
Date night with hubby tomorrow, so need to save some calories/carbs for Saturday night! 0
