I am 57 and have no idea if I am even done with menopause...I have been on BC pills for 40 years straight. Went off 3 weeks ago so I can get an FSH test tomorrow and have lost 5 pounds since being off the pills. Does anyone LOSE weight due to menopause? I have tried researching this but there is nothing on it. I have never…

I am 56, 5'5" and weighed 115 from age 15 to age 38, then got down to 104 doing cross training with a friend. We were gearing up to do some climbing and wanted to be lean and fit. I stayed at 104-108 for 3 years and felt great. I am small boned, but not petite. After age 45 I started gaining weight and reached my peak…

Hi, I agree with everyone's comments about getting the calories down and making them count....you also might want to go to Target or Wal-Mart or order online a Leslie Sansone walk video. It sounds silly, but even if you just do 1-2 miles in your living room, it will only take 24-30 minutes tops to do 2 miles, and you will…

I understand the OP's frustration. I have never been overweight, but at age 50 began adding about 10 extra pounds. I have lost those 10 in the last 8 weeks and not one person has said a thing. I try to notice when people around me are working to improve themselves, in any way. I think it is nice and supportive to make a…

.... I quit most added sugar 8 weeks ago. I was a sugar junkie. I am not, and never have been overweight, but I was getting flabby in the belly. I had a headache for 2 days when I went cold turkey on the soda and candy. Since that time, I have the occasional Skinny Cow candy bar, but have not had soda. I have a morbid fear…

You look great in both photos, but it is wonderful you met your goal. Good for you.

I think you may want to check it out....but DC's ARE doctors. They go to undergraduate school, then to the medical school designed for their profession. It seems rather archaic to label people who worked very hard to become these professionals....as "not real doctors" just because they cannot prescribe meds....and that is…

.... No offense, but you people seem out of touch. Google it and you will find many threads explaining it to you. Chiropractic care is not the old fashioned business it use to be of just adjusting spines. They specialize in holistic medicine, massage therapy, helping the obese, even special diets and products. They also do…

56 in July. At 40 I was lean, strong and weighed 104 pounds at 5'5". Then I moved out of NYC and back to the Midwest and it was all downhill from there. LOL. My top weight was 135 in early May 2014. It has been hard to lose. I am at 127 now, after about 8 weeks, and want to get to 120. I always try to be as fit as I can…

My friend is a doctor, and she was very obese. She volunteered for a study where she went away with others to a clinic in AZ and they were put on a 500 calorie a day diet and did light workouts. She gained weight. Turned out she had a hormone imbalance that made her metabolism non-existent. She now is seeing a Chiropractor…

Hi, My husband has PKD, he is now 59 and was diagnosed in 2003. He has never been on dialysis and so far is doing very well. He had an advantage when he was diagnosed, he is allergic to milk and has not eaten any milk products since he was 20. We were informed while he was in the hospital that milk products and the bovine…
