  • I am right there with ya mwd...menopause sucks! Aand i DO workout at least 5 times a week for 45 minutes tho I admit the intensity is not what it used to be; think the added weight & discouragement of nothing seeming to work has affected my zeal. I just joined a friendly yet pretty intense fitness competition at work &…
