Good stuff! I weighed this morning and the scale finally moved. All of a sudden I am down...4.4 lbs. The encouragement I needed to keep going! I will also have to learn maintenance and make it a lifestye or I will likewise gain it back. My best to you!

FYI...my dr says you have to have progesterone if you take estrogen, or as you experienced you will have a period and no we don't want that...lol.

TY so much. The program is just what I need. I haven't looked at my maintenance calories.

Is the C25k a MFP program? It sounds like just what I need.

You are awesome to acknowledge the uniqueness in each of us. Yes menopause and other aging contributors are real factors for many women. I have always eaten healthy and exercise...just hoping to lose 20 lbs so I stay as healthy as possibe and hopefully avoid problems associated with being a bit too heavy. TY

I do need to add weights into my workouts. TY

TY...I don't eat any of my exercise calories. I an 5'2. I really watch sugar too. What is CT5K?

TY....finally someone with similar issues with comforting advice! I will look into a trainer. I walk 3 to 4 miles most days and am very active but it isn't enough anymore. Best to you on your journey!

I guess we are all different and some of us are not textbook.

TY...I have no problem with hunger and measure so I know I am tracking correctly. Following MFP to the "t". Didn't have trouble losing-maintaining util I hit 40.

TY!

I started MFP about 1 month ago. Set goal to lose 2 lbs a week....1200 cals. All but 1 day I haven eaten apprx 1100 cals. I eat very healthy and measure. My dr introduced me to MFP. She says I need intense cardio...she's a tri-athlete.

Thank you and so happy you have success! I eat really healthy and about 1100 calories. Stepped on the scale this morning and gained a pound. So I am down 1 pound in almost 1 month on MFP...discouraging.

TY so much for the info...I hate to be the bearer of bad news but in my case those "peri" days were nothing compared to the symptoms I have now, after 3 years without a period.

Hi Hollý: I just joined and can use a pal. I try low carbing but don't have much luck sticking to it. I am sure I could learn something from you and others in your group! Tammie
