I recently came back to Fitness Pal. I am 43 years old and went to the doctor in May because of an increase in weight, afternoon exhaustion, and a feeling like I had a "fuzzy brain" in the afternoon. Well... it appears that I am post menapausal. I am 5 foot tall and about 7 years ago I was 150 pounds. Through Weight Watchers I lost 40 pounds. I am now at 134 and not real happy with how I feel. My delimma is that it appears it is almost impossible to loose weight in menapause. I am searching for a support group to help with this. I am currently going to a trainer to assist with keeping my bone strength but would love to hear from others about their successes during menopause.

    I'm in the same boat. I haven't figured out what exactly is going on with my hormones, but losing weight is difficult! I'm also an emotional eater which with all these mood swings, well...need I say more? Lol
