Hello I am 63, divorced, still work, and need to lose 80 pounds. Tired when I wake up. Tired when I go to bed. Sex drive nonexistent. Will be getting an annual physical soon. Do I ask for hormonal panels? Appetite suppressants, anything for anxiety or depression? I want my life back! What have your doctors given you ladies????

    I felt like that, was my thyroid, along with being post menopausal. Good luck!

    I am 64 and just retired from teaching. I don’t take any hormones. I lost 30 pounds about 7 years ago and that made a tremendous difference in how I felt. I have gained back 15, and I feel sluggish again. I am 155. I am back on here to try and get those pounds off! It is so hard at our age to lose. I also started drinking a high protein shake everyday.
    I am going to join silver sneakers when I start Medicare next month. It’s free for Medicare recipients.
    I write all of this to say, do everything you can to get healthy!
