I am 52 & in full menopause & losing weight now isn't as easy as it was a few years ago! I have discovered throughout my life that I am an emotional eater. January 15, 2015 I weighed 201 lbs & felt disgusted and ashamed & wanted to hide from the world! Tired of feeling that way I joined Herbal Magic and by June 30/15 had lost 19 lbs but then quit Herbal Magic due to cost. I then gained back 7.7 lbs and yesterday decided to get back on the diet and finish this journey on my own program of eating right! I could use some diet buddies facing the same challenges i do, and we can give support & encouragement to each other daily! I still have roughly 30 lbs to lose and am going to do it by God!!! Please friend me if this story relates to yours!

    Hi Maryanne!

    I'm 51 and about 30-40 pounds overweight, too. You're right, it's harder after menopause! MFP has been helping me because it forces me to really track my food intake carefully. Once I started to weigh and measure everything I eat, I started to see pounds come off more quickly.

    Good luck as you restart your weight loss journey and I'll send you a friend request!

    I am 57 and I am right there with you. I am really tired at the end of the workday and have a very hard time then. Too tired to spend much effort cooking. Everyone says to make meals for the week on the weekend but I am too busy catching up on housework and family things to do that. So.... I am great on my calories until dinner and then I mess up. I don't really snack just eat food that is easy.
