Thanks!!! Am only 41 but been menopausal for 5 1/2 years now.. I will take a look at the thread and the book!

am no expert at all - but for strengthening one side how about Pilates or yoga?

Hey there, Hit 41 last year and also hit heaviest weight since my last pregnancy 11 years ago... am on it now tho!! Feel free to add me as a friend if you are looking for some others on here in a similar position to you. Paula :)

am 41.. add me.. I am struggling with weight loss since becoming menopausal 4 years ago... the weight has just crept on since.

my downfall this weekend was alcohol. Only planned to have two glasses wine on Saturday - BUT - where I hadnt eaten much during the day it only took two glasses for me to lose focus!.. coupled with the fact that I appeared to have a self filling glass.. was a BAD day! double whammy on the upset - managed to sprain a muscle…

Awesome x

I log absolutely everything, I just like to have a record of what I have eaten and drunk so that I can look back over successful and unsuccessful weeks and make comparisons.

am so feeling your pain! have stuck rigidly to calories, exercised every day and after losing 2kgs in first week or so, have put .3kg back on :angry:

I did my neck/waist/hips measurements - and am seeing results already - and I only started just over a week ago. I know from past experience tho, that I lose bust first, then waist and lastly bum :(

fantastic tips!

I allow myself 175ml of wine on a week night with my dinner if I fancy it, and Friday & Saturday night I have a 300 ml glass. However, I have started offering to drive when I go out! - no calories, no hangover!

lol... as long as you weigh yourself in same situation each time then its an accurate reading. so.. ALWAYS poop first and weigh self naked!

Hi, looking for some company on here as new to this - so will send some frineds requests - hope thats ok! Paula

hi there, only been doing this a week, and need some friends on here! ok to add you? Paula

I recently did a Ham and all I added was half can Cider, cooked on low for 6 hours. Delicious!

when I did weight watchers, Archers and Diet Lemonade were the lowest in points value - half teh points of Vidke or Gin etc....

Count me In! just need someone to share Velntine's with! lol

Thanks Guys, brilliant tips :)

Thanks!!

Love having myfitnesspal.com on my iPhone - means I do log everything at the point it goes in my mouth! :)

tricky to eat when I am in the meetings with them .. but will try and fill up on more filling foods at breakfast I think :S Thanks
