Like most of you, menopause has had some hard parts for me. I am 57 and 5"2', 130 lb. Hot flashes are the worst, with vaginal dryness (thank God for coconut oil) and sagging skin close behind. The weight gain issue is more a result of muscle mass loss. I weigh about the same as I always have, but I feel less firm. Yoga is…

Im glad it wasn't anything serious. Seriously, if it hurts, do not do it. I'm not sure what PD stands for, but seeing a doctor and resting until you can see one is the nurses advice.

It takes a long time to heal joint injuries. So you have to find an exercise that you can do safely. But more importantly as Arditarose said, stay in a calorie deficit day to day. Portion control cannot be overstressed. Get a small digital scale, use smaller plates, eat consciously.

I eat healthy food only when I am hungry and stop when I am not. Take small bites and chew slowly to savor the flavor. Just for today I will get on the elliptical…

Hi Vicky, My name is Michelle, and I would like to join your group. One day at a time is a brilliant way to deal with with weight management. I have a brain injury, and holding things like goals and plans in my mind is difficult. When I read your beginning posts on this thread, I realized I can do that! I do not have to…

Hello, I am new to this thread, and looking for some motivation. I have used F.P. for a few years, off and on. I need to get involved so I will maintain interest and accountability. Yesterday I went swimming and vacuumed for an hour. Then my back was killing me. Today I am going for a bike ride, that is easy on my back.
