Weight, menopause, lockdown, adventure!

Congratulations on opening a thread with all that in the title!

I’m a long time MFP member who lost lots of weight, took a long break, put way too much of the weight back on and here I am back again (sadly a very unoriginal story).

I had lots of friends on here before and I found that a great part of the process. When I returned I realized (from last log in dates) I certainly wasn’t unique in taking a long break. My friends list had turned into a list of the departed. So I deleted everyone and I’m starting over.

About me. 46. Female. Australian but have spent most of my adult life living overseas. Currently going slightly insane in what is apparently one of the longest and strictest lockdowns in the world in Buenos Aires.

To add to the lockdown fun I seem to have entered peri-menopause with a vengeance during this time. Ridiculously early (in my medical opinion which was formed after 15 minutes of googling) but not much I can do about it (except complain on the internet apparently).

So. If that description hasn’t deterred you and you think we might have something in common (or you think we have nothing in common but like the sound of me anyway) then feel free to send me a friend request.
