    Hi! I did this before. Initially had some good results, but since hitting menopause I started gaining weight while not eating very much at all. Last go round with MFP I gained two lbs after a month, and really lost heart in the process. I was being so good–weighing everything, entering recipes, but still, the weight keeps creeping up. Have always, always, exercised, but need to modify due to injury-i.e. can't run, do yoga, or lift super heavy weights, but can spin, do pilates, lift light weights. Have worked up to being able to do push ups again after an intense shoulder injury. Walk a ton. Now after going on a plant based diet recommended by my primary care and gaining 7 pounds in two weeks in the process, I'm back. My drs think I'm making a big deal out of nothing because technically I'm really healthy, but I'm at my wits end. I don't want to go out and see old friends because I'm so self conscious. I would love to see a nutritionist, but sadly it's not covered by my insurance and isn't in the budget. I used to never think of having to loose weight–if I gained a few lbs, all I needed to do was cut out a dessert or two. If I was stressed, I would actually get too skinny. My gyn says that the weight gain is purely due to menopause, but it's 30 lbs, and it keeps going up! I was hoping it had evened out, but just recently it's been skyrocketing again. I don't know what to do.

    Hello everyone, I'm new to this and I'm not quite sure how it works. I would love a buddy in this weight loss journey. I have gained over 45lbs in this past year and I want it off of me.

    Feel free to add me or anyone here can, I lost 70ish pounds over a year about a year ago, gained about 30 back, I'm afraid to look, I am so off track, I'm off the road, and turning 50 in Jan. I can definitely feel the extra weight, in premenopause, on hormones, found out I have hashimotos thyroid condition, started thyroid meds, dealing with possible gastritis and weaning myself off of the meds, I just lately have no ambition, and I am frustrated. I know I need to at least get back off the weight I gained, am maintain it. With the new year starting I want to make this a priority again. Anyone else in?

    Good morning! I lost 60 pounds a year and a half ago with changing my life and eating......in the past 3 months I'm steadily gaining it back. Now I'm 30 pounds up and have to stop making excuses and get back to my routine. You can add me and I'm more than happy to add as well. I'm new to the message boards even thou I've been on fitness pal for years, I think it's time I received help from others in the same situation instead of thinking I'm okay doing this on my own.
