  • 1. Make sure you're eating enough protein throughout the day. 2. Make sure you are drinking water throughout the day. Water. Not tea, not coffee, not diet soda... :) HTH! Good luck!

  • I have a collection of work-out DVD's (and tapes). I also have discovered Work-outs on Netflix that I can stream. I even checked out a DVD from my library, Fat Burning for Dummies, that I really like. I keep checking it out and renewing it. Someday I'll have to actually buy my own copy. Also, if you can stream to your TV,…

  • Thanks, everybody! This string is exactly what I was hoping for when I joined this group on MFP. Menopause changes the weight-loss equation for many (most?) of us and I think it's great if we can share what works/doesn't work.

  • If this is wrong, I don't wanna be right, LOL. I do this all the time with dinner. After logging all the days' calories, I enter the things I plan to eat for dinner to see if I can "afford" dessert.

  • "trolling" is saying something provocative just to get a reaction.

  • Welcome! Knee surgery was bad enough but a hysterectomy, too? Egads! Now that's a double whammy! Best of luck on your journey.
    in Hello: New to the Group!! Comment by cnmince May 2012
  • Congrats on your weight loss and your desire to get more active. I'm not sure that kickboxing moves are going to be the best bet for someone with ongoing knee issues. Please be careful! As mfpcopine said, I would consult your orthopedist or a sports medicine doctor. I'd hate for further injuries to discourage you (or…

  • Welcome, workshy000! I'm responding to your query about soy. I'm 54 and struggle with mood issues and memory deficits. A few months ago I came across some research (found one citation at least: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19000378) indicating that soy isoflavones appear to benefit working memory. I've been taking…

  • I'm now 54 and had two years of sporadic periods up til last summer. I had a period last July and now I think I'm done. It won't be official til this July, though. I've gained some weight (only some of which can be blamed on hormones, to be honest) and have a little belly for the first time in my life. Apparently at…
    in menstrual cycle Comment by cnmince May 2012
  • I'm new here and 54 yo. LMP was August 2011 so I'm almost officially menopausal. I have entertained the notion of prescription HRT but once I figured out that it would just delay menopause's discomforts and not eliminate them totally, I decided against it for now. I don't see any mention here of Genistein/PhytoEstrogen.…
    in Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)? Comment by cnmince April 2012
  • Thank you for this, Chicpeach. I knew that women tended to gain weight in their 50s but I didn't realize how much my metabolism was slowing down. Menopause seems to be a kind of triple whammy: my memory ain't what it used to be, my mood is not good and on top of that, I'm gaining weight. I just keep thinking "what am I…
