Hi, I'm a Canadian 44 yr old pre-menopausal woman from Ontario going through some of "those changes" :blushing for the past 6 months. Hot flashes, drenching night sweats, and weight gain around the mid abdomen! Need to loose about 60 pounds. Looking for friends to help keep me accountable and encourage each other.

    If weight gain around the abdomen was the only "symptom" then I've been pre-menopausal since I was 25!

    Starting to experience those things, too, and I'll be 45 on Easter this year. So, friend me and we can encourage each other! Hang in there!

    I think I fit right in with all of you...44 yrs old, yo-yo weight but finding it harder and harder to lose it and keep it off. Motivation is the hardest for me. I stared back with MFP last week and have been doing pretty well with my eating...just got to start exercising more. Send me a friend request any of you in need of support and can help motivate me too!

    Hii there! I'm 44 and have two sons also. While I haven't started "The change" yet I'm sure it is only a matter of time. I gained weight when I hit 40 and am now committed to taking it off. Friend me.

    I think I'm considered post menopausal because I haven't had a period in over a year....I'm 51 yrs old and menopause is the cruelest joke God ever did! I've been on hormones almost 2 yrs and lately I've been hot flashing again! I guess the doc will want to up the dosage when I see him in a couple of months. So I'd love to talk to someone else going through this b/c it's plain ol devastating!!! Friend me :smile:

    Hi there Twoboysmom2! Welcome to the community! I would be happy to walk the walk with you. I am 50 and live in Arizona. I haven't had the full blown set up symptoms yet, just the occasional hot flash (who knows? I live in the desert!) but I know losing weight now will be easier than losing it later! Feel free to add me if you would like!

    Hi! I am 50 and coming out the other side of where you are but I'm still there! I would love to be an encouragement to you. I have just restarted this journey myself. I have lost the same 50 pounds 3 times now and need to lose it a 4th and final time! Add me, I would love to be your friend.

    To add friends you can click on their icon/name and there will be a spot to send a friend request. If they have sent you a friend request it will show up on the heading on your home page (mine shows up pink). Then you just click on that and accept it - or not.
