Hi everyone, my name is Carol and i am 46 years old. The menopause and pure greed as made me go up 3 dress sizes in 6 months. I have 3 children and 3 new grandchildren. Health issues are starting to be a problem and this is why i have arrived here, i want to see and play with my grandchildren as they are growing up. I am choosing to point my intake of food as weight watchers do. I would love any new recipe's and suggestions on loosing weight over 40. Thank you for taking the time to read my post and hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Carol and welcome!

Not sure if I have any special tips for weight loss over 40, other than I'm finding that it's taking a bit longer to come off than it would have in the past.

Welcome Carol. There is a Weight Watchers forum here if that's the particular plan your following. You can probably find some specific recipes and menu suggestions there. Feel free to join our weekly thread for support no matter what plan you are doing. I agree with Peanutsmom-weight loss isn't much different after 40 except it seems to take longer.
