Hi there, I looked for an introduce yourself topic, but couldn't find one. So here I am :) My name is Jan, I am 39 years old and am joining the joys of menopause a bit early due to a hysterectomy 2 and half years ago. So now I am trying to lose weight and kick some bad habits. I feel like I am retraining myself to live an everyday life.

    Hi Jan, I'm Cindy, another newbie! I'm 50, and I'm just plain tired of being overweight. I'm hoping for a support group, some people to share challenges with, and people to encourage/be encouraged by.

  • So happy to have found this group. I am 55 and about 5 years post menopause and until I found this place have not been able to lose a darn pound. TY for being here. My struggle with weight is new since I had a great metabolism all my life. then I quit smoking, ditched the monthlies and started daily cortisone meds. So much for staying slim LOL..
    I am hopeful I can lose the weight with a great group of understanding ppl!
