I have Hashimoto's and have taken Synthroid for 20 years. I've gained and lost the same 30 lbs over these years too. It is a constant struggle for me. I've counted calories for the most part for several years and get daily exercise (have a sedentary job though). But since Menopause struck I really can't seem to lose…

I'm interested in people friending me that have open diaries so I can get ideas of what others eat especially when they meet their daily goals. I do some days others don't! I'm 52..can't seem to lose weight the past few years, desk job but exercise regularly and really try to eat healthy.

I love it! I just started watching this weekend binge watching it from the beginning. I'm on show # 6. I rarely find shows that I want to watch and this one is so different from all the others.

Yes Sabine_Stroehm - it was partial. I kept my ovaries.

@Sabine_Stroehm - I had a hysterectomy so I haven't had one in 9 years. I just found out in July that I was post-menopause after testing. I had started with hot flashes & night sweats several months ago. Someone told me yesterday that my doctor should also check for testosterone levels that hers were low and that happens…

I'm experiencing the same as you guys...eating better than ever and exercising more but have gained 20 lbs in the last year. I turned 50 on Oct 5th and I am in menopause. I did start taking estradiol about 3 months ago to stop the night sweats because I couldn't sleep. Several people have suggested that maybe it is…

What was the medicine? I hope I haven't been put on it! I am really struggling since I have hit menopause. I've gained 20 lbs in the last year no matter how much I exercise and I've been tracking calories...just doesn't seem to work anymore.

I am trying reducing carbs as well (no bread, pasta, rice) at the suggestion of a weight loss doctor. The scale is still not budging after 2 weeks. So frustrating! Anyone in our age bracket, please add me as a friend!

i will be 50 on October 5th. I also have a desk job and exercise regularly including boot camps. I have gained 10 lbs since January even though I track my calories and eat very healthy. I am very depressed today. I just completed menopause.

I'm right there with you! I will be 50 in October and am in menopause and just started taking estradiol. I thought that might help me lose weight but I have gained 7 more pounds instead. I exercise daily in fact at a higher intensity than ever. I have been logging for several months and eat healthy most of the time. I just…

I like cookie dough flavor. You should try a couple before buying in bulk I think. They are very high in fiber and I had some digestive issues. I looked it up and most people said that that goes away after you eat them regularly. They are supposed to be a healthy protein bar.

Hi - good for you and your family starting to make healthy choices! I have exercised daily for years now some days high intensity and some just a 30 minute walk and now I crave it. It just makes me feel better. I will say that the key to weight maintenance is DIET. No matter how much I exercise, if I don't eat right and in…

I bring a whole wheat tortilla wrap most of the time for lunch (I put in grilled shrimp or chicken, avocado, salsa, black olives)

You look fantastic and much younger! Great job, keep tracking!

that was funny!

Well actually diet pills like Phentermine do work to control appetite, however you can't live on diet pills so it's a vicious cycle (I know bc I've done it!) So after a while you start eating like you did before bc you are hungry or stressed or too many get togethers and that appetite comes back. So I think.... eat more…

Ha! I looked at your post thinking that you wanted advice because you had rapid butt growth, not because you wanted it! This is hilarious. I agree with the other replies about squats. I've been doing bootcamps and we do a lot of squats and my pants are too small now which is not what I wanted but I do have really good…

Some of your replies really make me feel better! I have been really struggling with what the scale is reading (168). I used to be 5'7 now 5'51/2 and I'm 49. I had gotten to 142 at my smallest and people told me I was very thin. I exercise alot. I do boot camps and walk/jog, ride my bike and I am tracking calories but I've…

Keep it up ladies!
