Well, this is my third try here. I think this is a fabulous forum, but I just can't seem to get going--sick as I am of being overweight!

Since I last logged on, I seem to have begun menopause (age 49), and now I REALLY have a problem. Suddenly every bite sticks more easily, every drop of water is retained, and pounds are harder than ever to get off.

So....here I am.....who knows......third time the charm?

Hi Joan and welcome back!

You can do this! Believe in yourself and never give up. Stay focused and determined

Hugs

Thank you, (not so)chunkychic. (As I finish off a taco--blah)

One other thought about menopause: I feel like food tastes even more awesome than ever. Anybody else experience this?

Joan, I,m there! Menopause is a big hurdle. Check out the over 50 support group. It may take us a bit longer, but we will get there. And you don't have far to go!
