I have suffered for 2 years with heavy, painful, and long periods(6+ weeks). I was in a very dark place with depression, emotions weight gain, etc. My doc put me on Progesterone and within a month I was finally feeling like myself again. I had an endometrial ablation at the end of 2017 and I feel wonderful and also losing…

I had to wear a boot for awhile in the spring and I added cushion inserts in my shoes and it fixed it. Make sure your shoes has great support and not flat where the heel is.

I've been dealing with menopause for awhile and gained weight. I had a lot of issues for a year, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, headaches, tired, carb cravings like crazy, hot all the time, heart issues. Thanks to my heavy periods that I've dealt with for 2 years and finally seeked help with my gyno about it and she…

One of my fave foods in the morning is peanut butter toast. But that's usually mid morning.

Hi, I'm Susan and I also have Fibromyalgia. I used to use my stationary bike for about 45 mins a day and hate that I stopped doing it. It helped my pain a lot.

I have at least 70 I want to lose. 2018 will be my year I lose this weight that Perimenopause has helped me put on as well as other things. I started keeping track right after Christmas and have loss 8 pounds so far.

Are you doing low carb? When I did Atkins I had a headache the 1st week.

The chicken breast I buy have the cals on the package so that's what I use.

Everyday I fit it in my allowance.. skinny cow bars or ice cream, dark choc kisses, fiber plus bars, etc. I'm trying to have a healthier way of eating instead of a diet so choc must be included.

Jasmine rice, grilled chicken breast strips, and string beans

I have many of her dvds also. Right now I'm loving the fast 4 miles.

You look stunning and I would say you have reached the point of "Hot Wife" lol. This gives me more motivation now and I would love to look like that. thanks for posting.

I know exactly what you mean and that's what I'm coming off of now and the cravings are gone but still have those 3 pounds that I picked back up. uuggh. That is when my cravings totally take me over like an addiction. It's tough being a woman at times.

From my own experience I have tried it both ways and the only thing that works FOR ME is to do both then I see results. I can't just diet and lose so that's what works for me.

Wow great job...you look AWESOME!! Have a great time on your trip.

I feel when I tell people that's when I screw up and stop losing. After those amount of inches I would think they can tell that you've been doing something but I totally understand what you are saying.

I know exactly how you feel because I had those same cravings last week being it was my TOM any other time I can easily walk away or not be tempted at all. We all have things happening in our lives or going through rough patches that can cause us to lose our will power even though we are adults. People can be addicted to…

I had a double whammy...Easter and TOM so I gained 4 Ibs also.

I love Leslie I have 3 of her dvds and and started on a different one yesterday and it is kicking my butt. Just finished 5 miles of it and I feel like a sweat factory. I always see results when I do those dvds.

This is what I'm going through at the moment. I lost 4 pounds last week and now this week the scale moves up everyday and it is depressing. But i'm staying on track and still working out.

I love crystal light esp the fruit punch

That does sound yucky I will stick with my instant since I finally got used to eating it.

I know how you feel I'm 45 and have had IBS since I was a lil girl and some of the flares I have had is worse than having a baby. I take Bentyl when an episode starts and it helps a lot. Everyone has given you great advice but what works for me may not work for you so you really have to find your own triggers and it is a…

That sounds awesome I think I may try it.

Snackwell's have 100 cal packs now and this time I tried the fudge creme brownie bites(150 cal) and they are good but even for me that I love sugar it's almost too sweet for me so after that I'm good. Alsom Breyer's smooth and dreamy dark choc velvet ice cream it is really rich.

I have tried many times to eat oatmeal and never had any luck but for the past month or so I have grown to crave it and actually like it. It may not be the best for me but I eat the low sugar maple and brown sugar.

Feel free to add me. We can do this!

I know it's frustrating when the scale is stuck and doesn't move but keep it up, it will move!

Welcome and good luck to you. You can do it!!! Feel free to add me if you like.

Hi I'm Susan. This is my 2nd week on here, week one I lost 2 pounds, and this week I lost 4. When I walk (about 35 min and workout dvd about 45 min. total) my calories with exercise is raised to a lil over 1500 on here. So, if you walk 60 mins a day and eating 1400 cals. maybe that's not enough. Veterans on here can help…
