Truly amazing I turn 50 next year and I need this inspiration to get me going.I have to look beyond the menopause related slow weightloss and mood swings. I love ur phase keep going. Thanks for posting this thread and ur pictures truly inspirational.

This is where I was at. Hot flashes, weight on my middle, and no way to lose weight no matter how hard I tried. I decided this was the new me. I was trying to embrace the rolly polly slow me that had 0 stamina and energy. I was shopping for clothes that would fit at all, and looking for "ol lady clothes". In the store I'd spot something like that, and think "this is something an older round lady would wear". That was how I found clothes. I gave up. All those clothes are gone, and I go straight to things I think are cute, now! I just didn't have the tools and found out it was actually possible! Who knew?

Fist off I would like to say CONGRATS you are One hot mamma Now!! I am here and I am only 27 my realization was after loosing my mother who was only 54 who also had weight issues, after her passing in 2006 I got pregnant back(4) to back(2) I came here and was getting down when last year in Nov I found out I was pregnant again I was high risk and seeing specialist and found out I had a Genetic Disorder and that I got it from my Mother and it was the reason for her passing after seeing geneticist He said that after Delivery I HAD to get my weight down and eat less cholesterol ridden foods or I risk the same fate as my mother, and as I am a Mother of 5 I really didn't want to leave my kids when they hadn't even got out of high school hardly. Your story is Very Inspiring to me as If you can do this and your twice my age and you Look awesome may I say again then I know my 27 year old butt can do this!

you look GREAT!
