Thanks for the feedback. I will make sure I am weighing and logging everything properly and report back.

I'm not sure where I am in this menopause journey, but I'm there and finding it near damn impossible to lose weight. I gained 30+ lbs between 53 & 54. When I hit 200 lb, I said enough is enough and rejoined MFP. Just yesterday in fact. Reading these messages gives me hope. We're all in this together. Reading share, care…

I found this very informative. Thank you.

I have the night sweats, the depression and anxiety have been on and off for years, but shorter periods? Not me, in fact, mine are longer and heavier.. GYN said this is also a symptom of peri-menopause. I keep telling my body that I'll be damned if I have to have night sweats and a longer period, pick one! LOL

I did well with Old Navy but don't find them particularly cheap ($36). I guess it depends on what your interpretation is of cheap. Cheap to me is under $20 at Walmart. Another place you might have success, if you have one near you is VF (Vanity Fair). They have a large range of sizes and prices.

Good Morning or good evening all depending on where you are in the world. My name is Randy, live in Coral Springs, Florida. Originally from Brooklyn, then Long Island NY. Turned 50 this year and am beginning to get the signs of what I think is perimenopause - Night Sweat,heavier, longer periods and the mood swings, well…

Hi Ladies, I think I'm perimenopausal. I'm 50 years old and sometime last year I started with the night sweats; woke up drenched, yuck. Then I found my periods were actually getting heavier and longer, yuck again and I went from being able to pinpoint the day I would have my period to not having a clue. Now, I'm back to…

Joining a day late. Glad my name was still on the list. October was not my best month, but I'm ready to trot. Good Luck everyone.

This was very close. It came out to 141 and my goal is 137. This was a quick fun tool. Thanks.

Kids today don't know what's good. Nothing will beat UNDERDOG and Clifford the Big Red Dog.

Hi Mary, please put me down for July 31st. Thanks. Randy Levy

Good Morning Ladies. I have not written before about my weight loss efforts. Today I want to share. I started my efforts in earnest in February 2011. I actually was doing it for my daughter was 195 lbs at 16. I was 187.6 and almost at my heaviest. We made a pack to do this together and we joined the Quick Weight Loss…

I'm walking too. I like to do Leslie Sansone's 1 or 2 mile walk program on Exercise TV. She also has a walk and tone and a family walk. When the weather cools down (I'm in South Florida), I'll probably start walking outside. Good Luck.

Marking my spot. Hello to all and excited that October is here. I love the fall. Even though we don't see much of a season change in South Florida.. It brings memories of my 35 years in NY, beautiful color leaves and apple picking.. real pumpkin farms and large piles of leaves to jump in. A touch of cool air that makes you…

I'm dealing with a plateau right now. Hopefully October will be better.

Hello Ladies, Well it's been quite a day. I've been cooking all day for the holidays. Brisket - done. Chicken Soup - done. Oven Stuffer Roaster -Done. Noodle Kugel done. Challah - almost done. Randy - overdone. If any of the ladies on this board are Jewish, I want to wish you a L'Shanah Tovah - Happy New Year. And if…

That is awesome news.

Michele, You look way too young to be in a "Senior" league.

Hello, I'm here. Today was a great day. After having lost only one pound last week, I went to my Quick Weight Loss Center and weighed in; I was down 2.4 lbs. I'm not changing the spreadsheet but hopefully I'll see a nice loss on Friday.

Hi ladies. Good Morning or evening wherever you are :smile: I don't write much but I log on everyday, complete my food log and I read these posts to stay motivated. Yesterday I ran into a little problem with logging my food. I went to a very popular chain restaurant called Duffy's Sportsgrill. I ordered their Waldorf Salas…

Wow Gilda. Congratulations and wonderfully motivating. If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take you to reach your goal?

Instinctively, I know a lot of people would tell you to get out and get out fast. But, you haven't mentioned this is what you want or that domestic violence is involved. The best thing you can do for yourself is AL-Anon. Go. Don't just think about it. They will help you cope with an alcoholic in your life. They will also…

I don't know if there is a lot you can take that wont make you drowsy. Do you do breathing exercises, guided imagery or meditation? There is a website called fragrantheart.com that has wonderful free on-line guided imagery for stress, relaxation, etc. There is also an over-the counter homeopathic supplement called Nerve…

For all the folks that have lost more than one pound this week, are you doing something different as a result of this challenge?

I have to get that. I've been doing 1-mile, 2-mile and Cardio-Slim on Exercise TV. I Love Leslie Sansone.

LOL. That will be the quote of the week: "SCREW THE SCALE." Love it!

Hello everyone. I'm up to 4 miles of 7 this week. Last week my goal was 5.. hit it easy.. If I get to 7 this week I will up my goal to 10 next week.

Hi Ladies. Well I am happy to be down another pound this week and two since Sept. 1st. I am doing a "Lose 10 lbs in September" challenge. I don't think I'll get to 10 but I'm on my way. The biggest problem I'm having right now is water. I am definitely not drinking enough. Does anyone have any creative ideas on how to get…

Used Sparkpeople last year for a while. It never kept my interest. I found myfitnesspal by accident, joined about two months ago and have logged on everyday since. I think this has a great food database. The tools are great and if I can't find info for the type of cardio exercise I do, I find something close or I go on the…
