2024! Let's get back on track!
Fell off the food truck and boy it hurt! Turned 64 y/o this month and yikes the metabolism has come to a screeching halt! Looking for gals that want to fight the mean meno monster! Who's in?!
New to the group
Morning I’m new to the group and wanted some advice! I’m peri menopause and have been struggling to loose weight for some time. I have been reading that a low carb diet helps so this is what I aim to do. However I don’t know what percentage of nutrients I should have each day to enable me to loose weight. How do I work…
Food & Tips
Thought it might be nice to have one spot to compile NOTHING BUT > helpful list > recipes > motivational / funny quotes No chit chat so if we want to go back to find them they are at our fingertips.
Daily Check In
Morning gals! just trying to clean you the group topics a bit. point well taken to have one (or two :) ) topics to keep things cohesive and not lose each other (I lose my mind daily - so I don't want to lose you gal!). This topic would be a great way for us to check in daily and inspire each other, chat about our day, etc.…
What did you conquer today!
I conquered two things....last night I stuck to my caloric plan even though we had friends over! Also, just tried on a pair of pants that were tight (a week ago!) and they feel great! MFP.... I love you! :heart: :heart:
Hello - Intro
Hi all, I am 50 and post-menopausal. I am back and would like to lose weight. Last year I put on weight rather quickly - it seemed the gain was not in proportion to my eating. ( I could be in denial ;-)) I ate "healthy", walked, hiked and yoga'd all summer and lost nothing! I felt better for the good food and exercise, so…
Anybody taking Pristiq for menopouse symptoms?
Went to my GP for an annual visit yesterday, and mentioned to him that the inability to concentrate and the mood swings and weight gain (if I slip up and gain a pound it sticks and nothing I do can get it off) is driving me nuts. He gave me a course of Pristiq, an antidepressant that is now being tried out for all the…
When did the weight loss slow?
I'm a month from 44th birthday and pre-menopausal but starting to show symptoms. I'm pretty sure it's not long now. One thing I've noticed is that even though I'm more careful than I've ever been with my logging and more diligent than I've ever been with my exercise, the weight loss has slowed to a trickle. Last month I…
Is this group viewable by the general MFP public?
Does anyone know if this is a private group or if I post a topic will it come up on my news feed like I see from other people? I have something to share that doesn't need to be linked straight from my friend's news feed to here (unless they join the group of course) Thank you!
New to the group, but not to MFP
Hello. Back in 2010, I joined MFP and lost so much weight I thought I was going through reverse menopause and heading for my high school body again. A little logging, a little exercise and the weight fell off at a predictable pound or two a week for a grand total of 60 pounds. I even wore a two-piece bathing suit (gasp!).…
