since menopause, I have become gluten sensitive (learned through testing)., Clearly there is something to this. I too gained weight through menopause and am now struggling to take it off. You really have to be good to see any results! Great that we can support each other.

I am new to gluten free as well and I also have a sensitivity to calcium. I thought pizza was gone for good until I found I could use a gf tortilla as the base, add cooked chicken, peppers, tomatoes and a little goat cheese which I seem to be able to tolerate. Sprinkle with oregano and bake at 400 about 15 minutes. It is…

Sometimes I add a little cranberry juice to water for flavour - can you keep a bottle of cranberry juice cold and then just add enough to colour it! It tastes great and is also good for you! Re Crystal Light, watch the chemicals! A few sprinkles of it in your water will give flavour and not too many chemicals - aspartame…

Hi - not that I am an expert but are you having night sweats? hot flashes? A number of women I know told me that the night sweats come after your period is done. Did you experience them after your hysterectomy? What does your doctor say? There is a test that can be done.

fun isn't it! That and the night sweats are just a joy!!!!! We will get through it!

Hi - I just joined this group, but joined MFP in September as well - What you lose depends on what you need to lose! I needed to lose 20 pounds when I started and once I lost 10, I started to lighten up on my focus ... not good! Now I am yoyoing so I need to get back on track myself! Balancing your protein and your carbs…

I bloat with dairy and salt - check what you are eating ... good luck

It's been a while for me ... so much so that one of my boys has already graduated and the other is in second year, that being said, I yoyod at the start of university and then found that joining a club where exercise was sport was really helpful. Do you like tennis? or basketball?or volleyball? These are games that are fun…

Hi everyone - all we can do is keep trying - try to balance our proteins and our carbs ... and try not to eat too many treats along with getting some exercise .. let's all keep plugging and we WILL reach our goals

Clothes keep me motivated - getting back into favourites ... still don't want to track measurements - good for you for being able to do this .. for me it is all about what fits ... and what doesn't!

I'm between 5'8" and 5'9" and my goal weight is 148. I know I can maintain that ... once I get there! The pic I am using for my profile is just a bit under that weight. The pic motivates me to get back there!!! It was only a couple of years ago. Years ago, they said that a good rule of thumb was 100 pounds for 5' and then…

I am new to this program, just a couple of days now - I eat one toast with natural peanut butter and coffee for breakfast, protein and veg for lunch and protein, veg and a little carb for dinner. I have a glass of wine with dinner and I am adding some exercise - 30 minutes on treadmill with a fairly good pace two to three…

Count me in as well - that would put me close to goal - oh what a feelin'!!!
