    Hi guys !! I'm a fabulous 48 yr old female, fighting fatness ferociously !

    Aside from that I'm happily celebrating the disappearance of "Aunt Flo" -- for good !!! Been 14 months & I'm presuming that THAT phase is finally over. Call me weird, but I am soooooooooooo happy about it. No more irregularities, no more debilitating cramps, no more "mood playground" (normal people have mood swings -- I staked claim on the WHOLE playground ). Kinda like a freedom of sorts.

    Hope all have a wonderful Wednesday & rest of the week !! Just wanted to stop by & say "Hey !"

    I have to say - I envy you! I am almost 45 and anxiously awaiting the day I can say I have "made it through and I am done!" I am so ready to be FREE!!

    I won't breathe easiest UNTIL the 25th month has passed. Good friend of mine thought SHE was done, but after 17 mos of presumed "freedom," she got a BIG surprise for the following 3 mos.

    Welcome Mollikins.

    That's me staring down the barrel of 50. Next year will be the big 50.

    however I'm nowhere near done with my cycles. Still going strong.

    Yeah, gotta watch out for those sneaky little boogers - they usually hang back and lull you into a false sense of security then, as soon as you go blow 6 months clothing budget at Victoria's Secret.....................SURPRISE

    Hi there ladybug !!

    I see from your profile, you're from MD. Might I ask what part ? I'm from NOVA -- just across the Potomac from So. MD ! I'm glad someone is close by & may be able to understand the Southern jargon !

    Hope we can help keep track of each other, seeings how we're "practically" neighbors !

    Bummer ! Just when I find a new friend, they want to be moving away -- wonder if I should change my deodorant.





    JUST KIDDING !! Never actually lived in NC, have visited Charlotte & have friends who live in Franklin.

    Am I weird ??
    Hi gang :
    I am wondering if my peri-menopause experience is rather common or am I just a weirdo ??

    I am 47, 48 in January. 2 years ago after not having any cramping for more than 25 years my period came complete with cramps. I thought this so odd, as I had not had them since my 20's !!!!! Then the night sweats started coming, where I would get up in the middle of the night to change my night shirt as was drenched in sweat. Also after more than 20 years of having a 35-80 day cycle, it started coming like clockwork !!!!!!!!!!

    Now, last month I was 2 weeks late, so now I am not sure when it will come back, should be due tomorrow.

    Are all these strange fluctuations kind of normal, or is this just me ??
    HELP !!!
