    She's an internist. Actually she's the one that suggested this site. Been through menopause, taking thyroid meds (had diseased thyroid removed about 10 years ago), and as far as exercise it's limited to household & grandkids. I work full time but sit at a computer all day. To be honest, going to a gym isn't an option. Have done that in the past and it didn't work for me. Planning on getting a treadmill at some point.

    I would probably do 1200 calories (macro's round 30% carbs, 40% protein and 30% fats). I generally see those who have gone through menopause do a bit better on lower carb diets. While it may not be necessary, you can try it for a month or two.

    Oh, dont even worry about that.

    I have been on the inter-webs since 1997 and forums are a very "live" and fluid method of communication.

    Its all good. :smile:

    Thanks.

    I am beginning to get the idea that this last 20 lbs is going to be much more work than the first 30. LOL

    It took me around 4 months to lose 45 pounds. It's taken me 6 months to lose the last 20. Some of it was change-ups in diet and exercise, but the last is much harder, unfortunately:( Seems to be a similar tale for many people.
