Link to our old thread for background info
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/345844-near-or-post-menopausal-group I am hopeful that this works as I have never established a link before. This thread was the genesis or this new group and contains many of our original posts and an introduction to many of the members. For new members - and for those of us like…

Body fat percentage calculation- loose skin
Does anyone have any experience of how much loose skin impacts on body fat figures. I have lost over 41 kilos(90lbs) and my doctor estimates that I have somewhere between 6-8 kilos of loose skin, When I take even the smaller amount of this off my current weight - I am well within the healthy BMI levels for my height. When…

Calorie requirements post surgery?
After maintaining at my goal weight for a year ( having lost 45 kilos or 100 lbs) I am scheduled to have a body lift in 11 days time. Clearly I don't want to put on weight while I am recovering from the surgery - so I am interested in finding out about calorie intake during recuperation. I will be unable to exercise much…

Near or post menopausal group
Do we currently have a sub group or thread for women who are peri menopausal or beyond? If not - perhaps it would be great to start one. We all know how hormones impact on our body weight and the ability to lose that weight- perhaps we can help each other out with tips and support. :) Debbie

my weight loss journey
The first photo is of me taken late in 2009- whilst the other I took this evening. I have just a few extra kilos to lose and a whole heap of loose skin that hopefully might shrink. If not it looks like I might need a trip to a surgeon.

Large frame - how should it influence goal weight?
I recently visited my Doctor who told me that he thought that I was getting close to my goal weight - even though I thought I still had at least 10 kilos to go. He advised that based on my wrist size of 6.5inches and height of 5ft5inches that I had a large frame and that in addition to that I had a significant amount of…

Progress and ....yes, a bit of a brag
I went shopping today to take advantage of the summer sales and had such a pleasant surprise with sizings. Half of what I bought was an Australian size 16 = American 12, and the others were all 14s which equals an American 10- -- woohoo!!! I am at 177 pounds at this point but intend continuing to be able to fit into all…

Welcome to our official group!
Thanks to BlackwoodsMom - as she alerted me to the new Groups facility that was introduced recently- so I hopped on this morning and did what I could to find us a formal place here. Hopefully the message was send all 126 participants of our old thread- to invite them here but I am worried about typos that I may have made…

Moderators
It seems kind of silly posting this because it is unimaginable that we will have the need for moderation within this group and we want people to have the freedom to discuss anything that is relevant- but it is suggested by MFP that we have at least a couple of additional moderators who can attend to things around the clock…

Why does water make such a difference?
I am not questioning it at all - and in fact have noticed if I don't drink adequate water I plateau, but am wondering if anyone knows why a good intake of water translates into more weight loss? Debbie

Hello from Aus

Since then I have lost a further 9 but have a long way to go I only discovered this website this evening so thought I would introduce myself. I am 55 years old and have had issues with my weight all of my life - but things have just…
