hi ya you say you had a hyster last year and now having weight issues have you talked to your dr on his as you may need hrt(horrmon replacement treatment)
just a thought,
good luck and add if you like

I too have experienced the hysterectomy weight gain. With the health issues that lead up to my hysterectomy I was gaining weight like crazy before hand as well. I had allowed it to set in to my mind that I was going to be fat and unhealthy for the rest of my life since nothing I did seemed to be working.

Then a great gal I met in Facebook said hey come join me in MFP. After joining I seen results. Not only did I work the system, but the system has worked me. Why has it worked for me? Well I think it is because it helps me keep track of everything and as I log I learn about the lifestyle change. I don't look at this as 'dieting'. Dieting is so evil! A person's diet is what they take in daily not what they deprive themselves of. In my opinion this is a healthy way to learn which habits we need to change. I am far from perfect, but I am finally seeing results! YAY!

One of the biggest factors of MFP for me is my support system. If it were not for the lovely people that motivate me to do well I may slide off again. Though I realize that fault would fall on my shoulders alone. When I am here I have a family to hold my hand. not to carry me through this, but to help me along the way. In reaching out and helping them it also helps me see I am not alone.

I am sorry that you had members leave you, but this happens for many reasons. It could be each of them had different reasons for cutting ties. I personally have had to do that with people that I felt did not mesh well with the life style changes I am making. I have only done this twice and honestly it bugged the hell outta me to do it.

So let's do this and make things happen for life! :drinker:

You can friend me too...I am 50 and struggling with menopause and its difficult! Frined me, Im not going anywhere, win or loose were in this!

i'm here for the duration and this is a journey, one day at a time. Anyone friend me up and I am here for YOU anytime. Colleen in Seattle area.

Hello everyone,
I joined MFP a couple months ago & since then I have loss & gained the same 10lbs multiple times, I have struggled with my weight loss since November 2009 when I had a hysterectomy, since then I went from 180 to 230, I am currently 220. I had a couple of friends on here but they abandoned me because I back slid & went off my diet, I'm looking for people on here who really know that this is a challenge & not easy, I need motivated, creative people who are willing to share tips & receipes even, to help me with my weight loss & I will do the same. I won't even quit trying to lose weight! :flowerforyou:

I would never abandon you. :noway: I have been here all this time. Today makes my 60th day. I am here for you. :flowerforyou: My diary is always open. :drinker:

I too have tried losing weight more times than I can count. I have been overweight my whole life but this is the biggest I have ever been. I am so tired of being tired.. thats one of the reasons why I am making a lifestyle change, not just dieting. I eat when I am bored, when I'm watching tv, I eat out way too much. So I am trying not to do those things. I have been on MFP for 2 weeks and have lost 20lbs. I can't see it, but it feels good to know that all my hard work is paying off. Feel free to add me, I am doing this by myself for the first time. I always try to get someone to diet with me because I think I can't motivate myself. But I have come to realize I am the only one that can change myself, not other people. I have my 5 year old daughter cheering me on, and even doing the Zumba Fitness on the wii with me! Good luck on your journey!!
