Has anyone been successful in losing weight during menopause?
Hi, my name is Rachael and I'm 46. I'm in perimenopause and I have not found anything that will help me break through this weight loss challenge. I lose 2 pounds on week 1 and think I'm on a roll. Only to find those SAME 2 pounds at the beginning of week 2. It's like my body is resisting. Any tips?

Hello-any women over 50?
Hi. Coming back to my fitness pal having had a setback of 10 pounds weight gain. I’m super frustrated and have friends on weight loss drugs compounding the issue. Menopause is surely adding to the problem. Any encouragement or groups with that in mind?

Struggling
I went through surgical menopause in my 30’s. My Dr took me off my hormones and I’m struggling with losing any weight. My weight has been the same for the past year and half. I’m eating in my calorie deficit. To be honest I’m not a consistent exerciser. I have severe arthritis and it has caused it hard for me to walk. But…

Anyone have advice on what's worked to reverse menopausal weight gain?
Hoping for tips and inspiration from others who are contending with the weight gain that creeps on during and after menopause, when our usual fitness and diet plans stop working. Thanks! 🙏

Newbie Here!
Hi, I'm new to this app so just getting feel for it. Would like to meet new friends who are menopausal and/or struggling to lose weight. I've been on my weight loss / healthy lifestyle journey since the beginning of the month but moved from Fitbit. I did join a couple of groups but I can find where they are now! 🤣 Guidance…

New, but not new
Hi all, I’ve been using MyFitnessPall for a long time on and off to track various nutrition and health aspects. I have been overweight a long time but years of diet industry mentality gave me a terrible relationship with food, so I have spent years unpicking that, and I’m definitely in a better place with it now. I’m now…

Friends over 40
I turned 50 this year and have a history of night time binge eating. I have health/ medical issues. I've learned that I have control over what I eat, not my emotions. I'm on day 2 of getting back to healthy and cleaner living. I feel that it will also help alleviate some of my symptoms. If you are anything like me and my…

Losing weight after menopause
Hi. I used this app years ago and got down to my skinny 105 petite weight that I had in college. Now I'm going through menopause and the weight will not budge. Why, oh why, does being a woman have to be a disease? I'm trying MFP again because it worked so well in the past. Anyone here having success losing weight during…

Fed up of being fat!
Hi everyone I was once fit, healthy and active.. trained as as physical therapist and nutritionist, back in the day. So I know the basics lol but after 2 kids, running a hectic business, hysterectomy, back injury, and the last year sustaining a neck injury resulting in me closing my business, and taking early retirement at…

Took me a long time but I'm here
Hey there. I'm 47 and last year I had a hysterectomy, which resolved a long illness that had sucked out my energy and patience and joy for many many years. This is the first year of the rest of my life and MFP is a big help. Right now I'm doing Pilates 2x/week (hey MFP, would love to be able to enter my Pilates classes!),…

Menopause and Fitness and forgiveness
Hello! I’m on day-3 of tracking macros and exercising. Wish me luck and success. At the start of the pandemic, I incorporated new nutrition and exercise that helped me lose 58 pounds. Late 2021, I started menopause, avoiding grief, and eating unhealthy foods that completely destroyed my lifestyle gaining back 47. I gave up…

Please be my friend 🙂
For the life of me I don't know how to add friends. I click on a profile but no add button? Anyway, vegetarian doing this for the umpteenth time and want to make this one count! 3 weeks in. I've not weighed myself as I know this to be counter productive. I've even had my scales removed! Just starting to read into the value…

Look for engaged MFP friends
Hi all! I'm giving MFP another go. Back in 2010 I lost about 30 lbs, everyone that I was friends with on the app were super engaged and encouraging on each other's feeds. I tried again several years later, and didn't have the same experience. I am looking for some friends on here that are looking for a similar level…

Menopause Diet & Exercise Calculator
I think most menopausal women would LOVE to have more guidance on diet and exercise plans that can help with belly fat, weight loss, hot flashes and a whole host of other issues related to menopause. Everywhere you turn there's a program for "determine your hormone type and eat whatever you want and lose weight!" and other…

Getting Started (Again) and Could Use Some Friends
I've been on MFP for what seems like forever and have had great success with it at times. I tend to get almost angry with tracking calories, I think because it makes me limit what I can eat/drink, and then I fall off the wagon. When I was most successful, I had a bunch of MFP friends and worked out regularly and tracked…

Newbie and looking for friends
Hi everyone, I think this app is great for helping to monitor ourselves without being alone, it's just great to have a thread and be part of a thread that helps to motivate not only me, but others as well, it's a long hall thing, for all of us. Success is a journey, not a destination, - someone great said that I am sure,…
