I'm also dealing with menopausal weight gain! I've changed my diet, workout 3 -4 times and I'm still struggling to get the scale to move. I'm also in the early stages of diabetes. Just went to the doctor for my checkup and he wants me to lose at least 3 pounds by June. A pound a month. Sounds easy, but very difficult for me. Looking forward to some inspiration here. My friends say they want to lose weight, but they don't do anything about it. I tried introducing them to MFP, of course they join, then never log any food or activity. Guess I'm the only serious one and I'm on my own. I thought joining a group would help me, so here I am!

I think I am finally in menopause, but I'm not sure. I didn't have periods for 13 months, then they started up for a few months, then stopped for another 6 months. I have had a very, very rough time lately because my son passed away about 2 years ago.. I gained about 10 pounds comforting myself with food and am going through menopause. I've taken 5 pounds off, but have been stuck here. MFP has helped me realize that I was grazing and snacking a lot more than I realized. It also helped me see that my portion sizes were too big.

I'm not sure if I'm looking at the postings on the MFP groups correctly, but it seems like quite a few of them are not very active. I am looking for a group that is fairly active.
