I lived in Montrose and the Heights too when I attended university at UH last ...um... century! Egads. Now I'm back home, in Spokane, WA. We're on the dry side of the state about 300 miles east of Seattle.

Looks yummy!

Exactly, it would be nice to add them each time, not just once a day... Guess I can be more thorough in my comments anyway. Thanks!

Really like this one, My mom says this too, and she just lost 20 pounds!

I use them when eating out and I have no idea of the variety of foods and calories and nutrients. I really wish there was a place to add a comment in each time we 'quick add calories' so we could keep track of what exactly it was and be accountable for it.

Sure, add me as well!

Hello! Thanks for the invitation! My name is Lisa and I'm 47. I hit menopause about 2 years ago and wow what a body change. I was one of the lucky ones eating whatever I wanted (as long as it was balanced and low sugar) for most of my life. Then all of a sudden I put on over 10 pounds. I'm petite and have been 105ish for…

I think I might be going, looks like fun!

Perfect, thanks!!

I'm 5'3". Can you all believe I was 5'2" since 14, then GREW an inch when I was in my late 20s? Has anyone else here done that? Small frame too so every pound really shows... And I suppose since I'm 46 the shrinking will begin soon. Feel free to add me.

Congrats! I recently got into a pair of jeans i haven't been able to wear since menopause started, but they are still a little tight... but I could wear them. Keep up the good work everyone!

Which app are you using? We cant seem to find it on our Andriod apps... thanks!

Yes, I ate my exercise and a bit more unfortunately... however I have been under all week so hopefully this will help to even it out. Team Zombie Pocket Clips did great, thanks to J.D. and my pop culture knowledgeable nieces!

Sounds like we are in a similar situation looking for more protein; I'm 5'3", 114lbs and workout to get more lean, toned and for strength. I am pretty lactose intolerant as well. I hope we can find some good suggestions!

Thank you, and same to you! So far so good. Busy but a good busy. It's been alright to sample the holiday goodies but keep the portions moderate. I'm looking forward to a quite New Year's weekend with family and friends. Best wishes everyone!

I'm glad that you checked in, I was going to do the same tonight! I agree, I think that this supplement is working well for me. My hot flashes are much less frequent and shorter too, my skin isn't nearly as itchy, the menopause-munchies are easier to control, I'm sleeping better and have a general feeling of being in…

Hi there, After reading this article I did a little more research and decided to give it try. The 'generic' form is called 'Maca' and is about 1/3 the cost of the Macafem at a supplement type store. It's only been a little over 2 weeks, but I do think I'm sleeping better and I feel more clear headed and a bit more…

Hi RoadsterMomma, Yes, it has helped quite a bit I think. I've been using it about 3 months now, 1-2 times a week. Honestly I found the applicator to just be messy and wasteful, so I just use my finger (not much different than an OB tampon). I haven't found any side effects personally, other than the hit to the wallet…

Hi Darlene, Sounds like we are on the same schedule, except I'm just 46. My last period was a year ago, and I was surprised at this extra layer around my middle that developed since then! I used to be able to lose much more easily. I've also been working out the past two years so I know part of the weight gain IS muscle…

Sex drive, no problem; I think knowing I won't get pregnant has been a bit freeing too. However, I did experience some VERY painful vaginal tearing soon after my boyfriend and I became intimate. It was the most horrible pain I've experienced! I've never experienced childbirth, but I think I can now empathize with those…

I was hoping there would be a group like this, so thanks for being here! I'm 46; I've been perimenopausal since I was 37, experiencing hot flashes and irregular periods since then. I saw my doctor then to be sure it wasn't something related to my thyroid (similar symptoms), and *luckily* it was just perimenopause. I've…

Lots of good information, I feel armed with more insight on what's been bothering me, and now perhaps some measures for relief. Thanks for sharing!

Hi everyone, another from Spokane here! Grew up in Cheney, lived in El Paso, Houston and Austin, TX, for school and work for a decade, then back to the PNW. I work 'at home', but my business has just about outgrown the house. Looking forward to connecting with you.
