Hello, looking for a meno buddy to help keep me on track. I am 45 this year and peri menopausal, I also have a hormone imbalance and have no testosterone and lack other hormones due to years of treatment for endometriosis. I really struggle with weight gain and losing weight and thought I would give MFP a try again to see if it can help. Would love to have a buddy to do this journey with, my partner is brilliant and supportive but he loses weight easily and I think having someone who understands the struggle would be helpfuland help keep me honest and be helpful. Any advice people can offer is also welcome. Thanks

    Hi there. I'm not quite premenopausal, but probably close! I'm 44 and I just know I can't eat or drink like I did in my 20s and 30s. So I'm starting over with regular workouts and really trying to push myself. That along with eating mostly healthy with the good stuff in moderation. Happy to be an accountability partner!

    Hello, I would love to connect with you! I am on in the same boat, 46 years old and low hormones. Starting to see a belly which I never had before...

    Yup, the meni-pot. I used to have a nice hourglass figure but once I hit my 50's my weight shifted to my belly. Doesn't mean you can't lose though. I'm 61 now, post-menopausal, have lost 5 lbs since March 20th!

    I feel ya 52 and the weight gain this past few months is bothersome and much tougher these days.
