  • I'm 5'6 and now weighing in at 180 pounds. I've become a post-menopausal wine worshipping eating machine - but the buck stops here. Today. I did WW some years ago and was successful - but I can't remember what my calorie goal was at the time. MFP has me set to 1340 as a default - but I'm toying with the idea of going down…

  • I'm pescatarian as well - and returning to MFP after falling off the wagon last year. I admit it - I'm no good being accountable to myself, so if anyone would like to join me in a weight loss journey - feel free to friend me! The more the merrier! I also love to cook so I'm always coming up with yummy vegetarian / vegan /…
    in Pescatarian - I need help with my diet. My food log is open. Comment by RockinMBC January 2017
  • I'm totally with you! I've been on-again / off-again with MFP and have steadily gained weight in my off times. I'm 5'6.5" and currently weigh in at 180. I'm planning on losing 30 pounds and generally getting my body and mind back in balance. Definitely looking for more friends! I admit it! I need to be accountable to…

  • I'll be 52 this year - my hubby will be 59. Mentally, I feel like I'm not a day over 28 - still playing in rock and roll bands for fun and exploring new art skills I didn't know I had (printmaking, anyone?). Physically, it's been a rough year or two - but I feel that with a little focus on eating better and moving more…

  • As I'm a bit late to the March party - I guess my March goal was to get down to business using MFP again! I've been using MFP on and off for a number of years now - but haven't managed to stick with it. I have been steadily gaining weight once I became officially post-menopausal - and I'm putting my self-indulgent brakes…

  • Just the kind of inspirational post I needed! I'm back after giving in to menopausal paunch and weight gain! NO MORE!
    in Take THAT menopause! Bam! You got nothing on me... Comment by RockinMBC February 2016
  • I'm 50 - and 25-30 pounds over where I'd like to be. Add me! I could really use some friends with the same struggles / goals to keep me accountable! Carbs and wine are my downfall - ugh! I'm into vegetarian / vegan cooking - although I eat fish as well. I have some physical aches and pains, so I'm easing back into…
    in Turning 50 and Overweight to boot! Comment by RockinMBC January 2015
  • Homemade Fusilli with Tomatoes and Corn pasta salad, 2 oz. of plain tuna and a Stretch Island Fruit Co. fruit strip because I was craving something sweet. Heading out to the gym now to burn it all back off!

  • Just turned 50 - no kids! I decided decades ago that if I ever experienced the "ticking clock" I would adopt instead of bring another human into the world. That clock never ticked. We love our lives (and the animals we share it with)!

  • Just chiming in! A year and a half ago I went to my gyn and told her I thought I was peri-menopausal. My periods had been all over the place for two years (18-45 day cycles). She told me "There's no way, you aren't 50 yet" - which sounded like bull to me (my Mom was "done" at 48). I made her test my hormone levels, and she…
    in FSH testing Comment by RockinMBC June 2014
  • I decided that I didn't want children when I was in Jr. High. I listened to a lot of talk radio and was aware of the impact that over-population was having on the planet. I also knew that there were thousands of children waiting to be adopted. I couldn't see myself adding to the misery or devastation of the planet.…

  • Just turned 50 last week - and just weighed in at the highest I've ever weighed! I've been toying around with MyFitnessPal for a month or two - but now I'm seriously buckling down! I have the summer off before I start teaching Community College classes - so this a perfect time to get back into the swing of things…
    in Turning 51 and REALLY serious this time. Anyone else? Comment by RockinMBC June 2014
  • According to my doc - serotonin helps regulate body temperature and cuts down on hot flashes. Here's a link to the FDA's press release about it: http://www.fda.gov/newsevents/newsroom/pressannouncements/ucm359030.htm
    in Anyone premenopausal here? Comment by RockinMBC May 2014
  • Hi all! Just joined the group! I've been pre-menopausal for about two years - with my cycle being all over the place. One month 18 days the next 52 days - I never know when it's going to arrive. I started a really stressful job at the end of February and immediately started getting severe, super frequent hot flashes at…
