Questions for Paleo/Primal people

New and really need help!
Hi everyone--I joined MFP on Feb. 20th, 2011 and have been tracking calories diligently ever since. I am 50 years old, 5'5" tall, and have struggled with steadily increasing weight especially as I have gone into menopause these past few years. I feel like I have no metabolism to speak of! I started out weighing 166.5 lbs.…
