Had a fat glass of red wine tonight and enjoyed it... the difference now is that I'm seeing it as a weekend treat and not a nightly routine. @islandbeez LMAO. Speaking of how you can't say the a-word on here... The first few times I saw the AF acronym on this thread, I read it "as f*".

Can't sleep so catching up on this most excellent thread. (Part of being new on here is simply figuring out where things are, and I keep forgetting to look). @angelacatheart I worked from home for a few years and looking back, that was associated with my weight creep.

Hi ladies - glad to see this group! Main struggle is a combo of slowing metabolism, stress of juggling home-work-life, evening snacking, and self-doubt feeling so chub and frumpy standing in front of my classroom lately. Fierce 40s, I'm down!

@FedUpApple71 - I've been thinking the same thing... While I can't stand most of the menopause health material I see (just irritating, condescending), must face facts that my metabolism is clearly changing gears

Making me laugh, how we're surprised to be in our 40s. Loving this stage, and yes the time flies! Happy Valentine's Day to all you foxy ladies
