Peri-menopause Ladies???

HealthyJourney14 · May 2018

In addition to avoiding self-care for the past year, peri-menopause is front and center and making the weight loss journey even more important and challenging. Hormones have insane effect on the body! I am 49. Though we can't control our hormone production, we can battle heart disease, diabetes and osteoporosis together. I am seeking to lose 40 pounds, and maybe a few more. I would love to build a community to support each other through discussions, motivation and general experiences. Thank you!

Not technically peri-menopausal, but my hormones are even more messed up than ever since starting to lose weight.

Oh, and the metformin, I assume. After all, they give it to PCOS patients to steady their periods; seems to have shortened my cycle and extended the actual periods.

I still have 50 lbs. to go.

Just found out Thursday that I am past perimenopausal and in the full fledged thing. At 41. Damn.

Does help explain alot though, for that I am grateful.

I had my ovaries removed and on an estrogen patch. Not sure if I count as perimenopausal, but I’ll tell you, my hormones are not the same at all.

I'm post menopausal and my hormones have left the building. But I still have the sweats and 60 pounds to lose.
