Hello everyone. My name is Adrienne, I'm 51 and at the tain end of perimenopause (SO I hope). I've lost 130lbs and was doing very well at keeping it off - or so I thought. I spent the past month losing 12lbs that mysterious returned even though I have a VERY clean diet and workout 4-5x a week.
Looking forward to making new friends.
Have a great day!

Hi! Lucky you for being toward the end. I have no idea where I am. :-)
Welcome to the group!0 -
Unfortunately I think my roller coaster of peri is just beginning (I'm 50). The mood swings are amazing, mention tears and I've got buckets of them.
Welcome!0 -
Hello all, My name is Teresa and I just joined the board today. I am hoping to lose 40 lbs but between a month long period no period my body can't quite seem to keep up.
I never know if I am on the right track or not. I just keep logging and tracking.0 -
I forgot I am 520

Welcome Teresa! I never know what my body is going to do---it really is "going through the change"...0 -
Welcome!
I'm on the roller coaster of peri-menopause.

My fav saying about menopause (or peri, I guess) is "Take everything you thought you knew about your body and turn it upside down". I'm 50.
No idea where I am at any given moment as I had a hysterectomy at age 33 and have no periods to gauge by. I go through weeks or months with hot flashes then they disappear for a while.
Although I've never been overweight, my body composition has certainly changed (and not for the better!) over the last couple of years so I ended up here in an effort to counteract that. I'm truly dismayed by how much muscle tone I've lost -- and how difficult it is to get back.0 -
I sure hope this group is still active, I could really use the support! I'm 40, but right in the throes of menopause. I have surgically-induced menopause. two years ago I discovered I had pre-cancerous cells growing through my uterus, so out it came. I chose to keep the ovaries, but they have decided they just can't handle it alone! So here I am going through this 10 years earlier than I had ever imagined. The weight gain has been detrimental, but I am finally back to full health and started fresh with a fitness program and have changed my diet. I started at the end of May at 206 lbs and just weighed in yesterday at 189. Progress! I could really use some friends here who understand. Thanks!0

I'm a struggling newbie too who is in the throes of peri. I'm (soon to be) 49 and have been dealing with this for the past couple of years. I have watched my weight go up 40+ pounds in the last 2 years and I have been seriously trying to get the weight off (very serious in the last month) and I have not seen any results which is frustrating.
I'm at my wits end on what to do - scheduled an appt with my doctor for suggestions, as he did blood work for TSH and that came back normal so I want to ask him now what? I hate that I'm having to wait until the 15th to see him though, I have been pulling my hair out trying everything from working out more, to strength training to clean eating and I just don't see any changes, both in weight or measurements. It's enough to bring on the waterworks which come easy enough to begin with.0 -
Great to see so many beautiful women. I'm 49 going on 19 lol I'm as cool as always, with no side efxs apart from weight gain. That's why I'm here (:0
